Downloadable content

Downloadable Content, commonly abbreviated to DLC refers to additional content for a game released via the internet. It can be free or require a payment. While Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence featured extra content that could be downloaded from its second and third discs onto a memory card, it does not require an internet connection and as such, does not fall under the banner of DLC. Some DLC is offered as pre-order bonuses or bundled with certain additions of games, usually through an access code found in the game's box or on the purchase receipt.

DLC found in the Metal Gear series includes:


 * Downloadable content in Metal Gear Solid 4
 * The Metal Gear Solid 4 Database
 * Metal Gear Online expansions and content purchased through the Metal Gear Online Shop
 * Downloadable content in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
 * Downloadable content in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
