According to recent rumours on the internet, it's likely that a Metal Gear Solid 4 port will come to the Switch in the next year or two. An overclocked Switch should be capable of running the game at 60fps in handheld mode. Does the game have physics tied to framerate or anything else which makes a 60fps patch too much effort to bother with?

a 60 fps patch on ps3 hardware is not possible.

if they could've ran the game at 60 they would've. from what I understand the devs squeezed out every bit of the hardware they could.

if you wanna play at 60 your best bet is a pc with rpcs3.

and about the switch port I doubt they would port the game since for one mgs4 was made specifically for the ps3s cell architecture and porting it would be a nightmare. best bet is they remake the game from the ground up and charge us 70 bones for it with no switch version.

"Metal Gear Solid 4 was 'running beautifully' on Xbox 360"

It finally came out exclusively for PS3, but if it was running on 360 I doubt it's such an "exotic" ps3 version as they wanted to sell us. So yes, I see it very likely that we'll see it on Switch in the next compilation.

"That's a nice rumor you have there @ragnarok_approaches123, why don't you back it up with a source?"
Nevermind found it myself:
