Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence is an enhanced and expanded version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, one of the most acclaimed stealth action games of all time. Set during the height of the Cold War in the 1960s, the game tells the origin story of Big Boss (real name: Naked Snake), a legendary soldier whose actions would lay the foundation for the events of the entire Metal Gear series.

Subsistence is more than just a re-release — it includes numerous gameplay improvements, extra features, and bonus content not present in the original Snake Eater, making it the definitive version of the game on PS2.
