This 1er September 2021, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain already celebrating its sixth anniversary. As the celebrations approach, Konami has unveiled its plans for phasing out connected mode on PS3 and Xbox 360.
Like Rockstar Games with GTA Online, the Japanese publisher plans to stop Metal Gear Solid V online services next year. But before that, the game directed by Hideo Kojima will go through different stages. And this funeral has already begun since the title purchase system has been definitively interrupted. Keep in mind that these restrictions will only affect PS3 and Xbox 360 players. Nothing has yet been announced for PS4 and Xbox One.

The end of an epic
If we are to believe the Konami site, the next step will be to withdraw all DLC for Metal Gear Online from sale from November 30, 2021. Then, this same game will disappear from online stores on March 1, 2022. Three months later, and more precisely on May 31, the servers will be permanently taken offline. It will then be impossible to start a game.
Purchases made in Metal Gear Online will not be refunded. It should be noted that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will remain playable in solo without any problem.
