Now, all fans of the online multiplayer feature of "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" can enjoy "Metal Gear Online," as the full version of the game for the PC has just gone live.

According to a post on the Steam Community page for the game, the full version of the game can be accessed by all players of "Metal Gear Online" for the PC now that the version is available for download. The announcement also mentioned that going into a full version doesn't mean that improvements and updates to the title have stopped. Aside from the improvements and changes between the beta and the full version, players can also expect periodic patches for "Metal Gear Online."

The post says, "We took in a lot of feedback and made a few key adjustments. After some initial hiccups we're going forward guns at the ready. However, that doesn't mean we've stopped development, quite the contrary."

The post also mentions the possibility of expansions making it to the full PC version of "Metal Gear Online." According to the press release, the developers will continue improving the PC version, and that, "Just like the previously released console versions of MGO, we'll be integrating new updates to the game to improve the experience and add content."

Meanwhile, players who haven't had the chance to play the "Metal Gear Online" beta that concluded last week will have incentives and bonus credits when they log onto the full PC version of the title. Players who log on between Jan. 19 and Jan. 26 and play at least one match will be rewarded with 3,000 bonus Gear points.

The full version of "Metal Gear Online" for PC follows its console systems format, where up to 16 players can battle one another in squad-style competitive multiplayer matches. The online multiplayer mode features different missions for each squad, special customization options, and a similar "Buddy System" feature like in the base game.
