PS1 masterpiece Metal Gear Solid will be playable on modern PlayStation hardware once more with the release of next week's Master Collection, and this also means the classic is getting its first-ever Trophy list. While Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater received their own Trophy lists by way of Bluepoint Games' HD Collection on PS3, the original title was only re-released as a PS1 Classic on Sony's third home system, which didn't patch in Trophies.
Now, fans of the series can finally earn a Platinum Trophy for Metal Gear Solid, and Powerpyx has revealed every single requirement you need to meet in order to unlock it. There are 19 Trophies in total, of which 11 are tied to main story boss fights and general progression. You'll need to beat the game at least twice to earn the Bandana and Stealth Camo, then you need to either get the Fox or Big Boss rank in one playthrough.
There are also Trophies for completing all the VR Missions and exorcising a photo of a ghost. You can view the full list through here. Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater will also have their own separate set of Trophies, and a Platinum Trophy for each. Those lists haven't been revealed publicly yet, though. Will you try and get a Metal Gear Solid Platinum Trophy attached to your profile? Start planning a Big Boss playthrough in the comments below.

Reading the Powerpyx site, it seems to depend on which version you play how hard the Big Boss ranking is going to be.
If it's US/EU version on Extreme, I don't think I'll plat.
Still be great to play again
Will the NES titles be receiving trophy support as well?
On the one hand, this game's story is still solid gold and full of the Kojima-ism's that we know and love.
On the other... the last time I played this game was the flashback on MGS4. And it reminded me just how terrible the controls are and how comparatively primitive the gameplay is.
I'm starting to appreciate what the Twin Snakes tried to do tbh. Nostalgia alone is not always enough.
I'll be platinuming all the MGS Collection games on PS5 then on the PS4, I get to play them a few times love MGS.
I'm definitely going to give the Platinum an honest go. MGS1 is legitimately the most important game of my life as it's the one that got me into gaming. I gotta at least try to get it!
@LifeGirl yeah if there's no update controls I have no interest.
my mind and body are ready!
@Americansamurai1 this is how I feel about MGS 2 & 3 as well. If they don't let me map aim and shoot to L2 & R2 I'm out.
@LifeGirl I dont need FF7R but I need RE2 levels of changes. Nice modernisation of controls.
@heyalright I played these when they came out, literally impossible to be a zoomer and do that unless you have a time machine.
@heyalright Just for the record, I'm such an old Millenial that I'm closer to being Gen X than Gen Z.
When it comes to keeping crappy old game design, you think you do but you don't.
My PS1 memory card save for the PS1 original already has the platinum, theoretically of course. Love this game. This MGS1 and RE2 original are always fighting in my head for my own personal fav PS1 game of all time
Re: the BIG BOSS/FOX trophy;
BIG BOSS is extreme mode with all the stipulations.
FOX is hard mode with all the stipulations.
The trophy is basically, do a top tier run on hard or higher.
What I can't remember is... Does using the stealth camo invalidate your ranking?
I don't know for sure if I will get this plat, but MGS1 deserves a try at least. I forever love this game, still my favorite Metal Gear!!!
I haven’t played any of the older MGS games, so I’m kinda pumped for this
Kept you waiting huh
@Ken_Kaniff I don't believe so, they're specified as bonus content for buying the full bundle.
@practicein2021 The only issue you would have playing MGS is no different to those playing Dark Souls or any new game for the first time. If you're really into the game, story, and lore (which is still gripping today) you'll learn to adapt and be just fine. It's the bosses that really matter since it has an arcadey feel with learning the strategy and running with it. But that's the thing with the series, the bosses are the determining factor of whether you stick with the game.
I play MGS1 yearly among many other modern titles and it is probably one of the simplest controls especially compared to the Gamecube remake (why they made you have to press 2 buttons instead of 1 to the enter codec in Twin Snakes I don't know). The only archaic thing being the keycards you have to manually select each door. When you go into a 1998 game expecting the standards of a new game released in 2023, you're gonna be disappointed.
@JeongersGaming Well if that's the case it's a no buy for me. Already have the collection from the PS3.
@JokerBoy422 - You can remap the controls to whatever you want at the system level on both PS4 and PS5.
@practicein2021
Due to the first Metal Gear having dualshock support right out of the gate, it controls better than about 85 percent of PS1 games so it's not a problem. As someone who was barely taking his first steps when this game originally released it works fine to me.
@Shigurui I'll have to check that out, thanks. I've tried the same thing on Xbox with the triggers and you can remap everything except those two buttons. So if Sony lets me do it then this is a day one buy for me.
Welp, guess I’ll be getting this lazy effort after all. Can’t pass up a plat of the original MGS.
@JokerBoy422 - You can mate, I'm a lefty so I change trigger inputs often on games that don't have lefty presets.
Metal Gear Solid trophies? It can’t be!
I am so excited for this.
The trophy list for the mgs 2 and 3 are also on Powerpyx website currently, 52 trophies for both mgs2 and 3
I love the MGS series. I hope we get twin snakes and both acid games in the next collection. Received my master collection early, probably will start with snake eater though. Hope we get to see something new for the snake eater remake before the end of year
@Ken_Kaniff A clarification. Metal Gear 1 and 2 now have trophies, but Snake's Revenge and the NES version of Metal Gear 1 do not.
@JeongersGaming Thanks for the update.
