As we move further towards the generation of new game consoles, we hear more often that the online feature support of older titles has been shut down. Earlier this year, Ubisoft revealed that they would terminate the news of shutting down servers for “Polar War Howl 2” and “Assassin’s Creed II”. EA also shut down the servers of several old “Speed Pleasure” titles. The latest to receive such treatment is “Metal Gear Solid Online” and “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain”, because Konami also announced plans to stop supporting PS3 and Xbox 360 online features.
Support for the game will be gradually withdrawn until the game is officially retired on May 31, 2022. From now on, the purchase system of “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” has been closed. From November 11th, the DLC items of “Metal Gear Solid Online” will be removed and no longer sold, and until March 1st next year. , Both games will no longer be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 systems.
