Konami has made the original Metal Gear Solid free on Steam for a limited time, giving PC players a rare chance to grab one of the most influential stealth games ever made at no cost.
The offer went live on July 24, 2026. No specific end date was listed in the source, so players should grab it sooner rather than later. The Steam version is Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1's standalone release of the original 1998 game.
Metal Gear Solid — Hideo Kojima's landmark stealth-action game originally released on PlayStation — essentially defined the cinematic action game as a genre. Its mix of fourth-wall-breaking moments, codec conversations, and tense sneaking sequences still hold up nearly three decades later. The Master Collection version brought the classic to modern PC players with minimal changes, keeping the original experience largely intact.
If you've never played it, this is the easiest possible entry point. Grab it while the promotion lasts.
