'''Metal Gear Online''' is the online component of [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]. It features 16-player online stealth battles, encouraging players to engage heavily in teamwork. It was initially distributed with Metal Gear Solid 4 in the form of a starter pack but later saw a stand-alone release in Japan. It will also be expanded through downloadable content, potentially for up to 10 years.

The game was in beta testing in Japan from [[August 20]] [[2007]] to [[September 3]] [[2007]]. Around 3000 people joined the test sessions. US and Canadian customers who pre-ordered Metal Gear Solid 4 in April were included in a further beta test which was due to begin on [[April 21]] [[2008]], however due to many technical difficulties including a server overload, it was postponed to [[April 25]] [[2008]] and continued until [[May 11]] [[2008]], promptly shutting down at midnight PST until its return on [[June 12]] [[2008]] for the worldwide release of MGS4. The beta package obtained from pre-ordering the game also includes a documentary DVD titled "Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2" with an "invite code" inside. On [[April 11]] [[2008]], Konami announced an open Metal Gear Online beta for Europe and that it would be available for download from [[April 26]] [[2008]] and would be entirely open to everyone who downloaded it until [[May 11]] [[2008]].
