MGS Master Collection Update 2.0 Boosts Resolution on PS5, PS4

Konami has released a new patch for Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, implementing new options to enhance the image resolution — depending on your setup. You can view the full breakdown through the link, and while it's somewhat complicated, it basically means you can fire up the latter two games with sharper quality than before.

While MGS1 remains as it was before the update, MGS2 and MGS3 have had new settings introduced that allow for better resolution depending on your console. There are now two presets you can choose from — Original Mode presents the two titles in 1080p, as before, while Adjusted Mode allows you to increase the resolution to 4K if you're using a PS5 or PS4 Pro. Those rocking a standard PS4 sadly can't take things higher than full HD, but the image should still look a little better thanks to the new internal upscaling.

As well as the two presets, you can choose Custom Mode, which lets you choose from various upscaling and resolution settings to suit your console and display. Whichever option you go for, it looks like the resulting image quality is a fair bit sharper, going by these comparison shots.
