The update means these games now have full support for modern controllers, such as the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller, the DualShock 4, Microsoft's Xbox One and Series X and S controllers, and the Nintendo Switch Pro controller.

The update also optimises default key bindings and makes a few smaller fixes to controller compatibility, GOG said.

So, if you fancy playing Metal Gear Solid on PC with proper DualSense support, now you can. Just don't forget what's coming with that Psycho Mantis boss fight!
