The schedule of events published by Konami also seems to suggest the PS3 version of the game will be removed from sale a couple of months before this date on March 1, 2022. Any items players have already purchased can be used until the game’s PS3 servers are taken offline at 06:00 UTC on May 31, 2022.
On November 30, all Phantom Pain DLC that relates to Metal Gear Online will be removed from the PlayStation Store too.
The PS4 version of the game will remain playable online beyond May 2022 and all DLC content will still be available on the PlayStation Store.Īs from today, August 31, PS3 players will no longer be able to purchase items from the MGS V: The Phantom Pain in-game store. Only after I did these two, did Metal Gear started up from Steam library. Konami has announced the game’s PS3 servers will be shuttered at the end of May 2022, but they have no plans to close the PS4 servers. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has done fairly well for itself since its release on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 almost exactly six years ago.
