We are thrilled to confirm that the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition will be arriving on your PCs on May 6 2021. Boasting a huge graphical upgrade, including Ray Traced Emissive Lighting – as pioneered in The Two Colonels – throughout the main game, a Field of View slider for the first time in the Metro series and DLSS 2.1 implementation. This update is so extensive, it couldn’t be delivered as a patch and will be available for free to all Metro Exodus owners for free as a separate entitlement.
As this edition of Metro Exodus can only run on Ray Tracing capable set ups, check out our PC Specifications recommendation chart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run it with Ray Tracing off?
No, this version is designed for Ray Tracing to be on.
What stores is this available on?
Epic Games, Steam, Windows Store and GOG.
Will this be available on Linux/Mac?

Will you be adding in AMD Super resolution later?
We will not be adding specific support for this, as it is not compatible with our rendering techniques. However we have our own Temporal based reconstruction tech implemented that natively provides the same or better image quality benefits for all hardware.
Are you going to add Ray Tracing to Metro Redux?
No, we don’t have any plans at this time.
Will my saves carry over?
Both versions share the same save game directory. Chapter saves will transfer over, but progress inside of a level remains with the version it was created on. (for other stores please visit the blog below).
NOTE: We realize that some players can’t/don’t want to carry over their previous progress, but also might want to access later levels directly. We added a Chapter Unlock feature to ALL PC Enhanced versions, for players who do not want to play through again, but want to see a particular level with the new features. This provides a default set of equipment and resources at the start of the selected chapter. Achievements are turned off for the save slot when the unlock button is pressed. However we highly recommend you play through again, to get the best experience, and maybe a different ending.
