According to Konamis official press release, the two games are temporarily removed due to the expiration of a license, specifically because the historical archival footage used in the two games is stored as an archive. This temporary removal will apply to all these games and all including the HD Editions and HD Collections. If you own one of the digital versions of the game, you can still use the redownload. However, new purchases aren’t allowed while they are delisted. Below is an update of all versions of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 that will be unavailable during this period: the following:

The versions being removed are mostly for older consoles. At the moment, the MGS 2 and 3 have not been released on PS4 or PS5 except via PS Now (although the older Xbox versions are playable on Xbox X). Sony reversed the decision, after a public outcry threw in the public. However, it didn’t let the money go, that was recently changed. This means that users should either use PlayStation Store gift cards or buy additional products such as tablets, tablets or tablets, or tablets such as the PlayStation Store. Even though it is not known when Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 will return to storefronts, Konami notes this is a temporary removal. The players who own any of the two games can still redownload them these days. The removal has little impact on the new market. : @Nitroid onTwitter?
