Another week, another Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 update.

The latest patch brings Switch to 1.3.1, which doesn’t seem like much of an upgrade. The tweaks below apply to all consoles, but only one applies to Switch: “Fixed some minor issues and made additional adjustments” in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

It’s not the biggest day for Switch owners (and we still don’t have 60 fps), but the collection keeps getting better. Konami has also listed several issues under investigation, so watch for them in future patches.

The Konami website published the following patch notes, which we have listed below.
