Metro franchise updates and Metro 2039 release details

Overview

Developers 4A Games and publisher Deep Silver have announced free next-generation technical updates for Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux. These updates focus on technical enhancements such as 4K textures, improved animations, refined lighting, and higher-quality audio. Technical features include support for 4K resolution at 60 FPS or upscaled 4K at 120 FPS on consoles, utilizing hardware-specific technologies like PSSR for PlayStation 5 Pro and TSR upscaling for Xbox Series X. On PC, the update introduces DLSS, FSR, and spatial audio support.

The PC rollout began on October 22, 2026, via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. This PC version notably includes support for NVIDIA DLSS 5 Neural Rendering, making the titles the second games to implement this AI-driven technology for enhanced photorealism. Due to the computational demands of DLSS 5 and path tracing, high-end hardware such as the GeForce RTX 50-series is recommended. Console versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S are expected on October 29, 2026.

These updates coincide with the franchise surpassing 50 million copies sold worldwide and serve as a precursor to the upcoming release of Metro 2039. Scheduled for launch on February 4, 2027 (February 5 in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand), Metro 2039 will feature a new fully voiced protagonist, ‘The Stranger,’ a former elite Spartan soldier, navigating a Moscow subway system under the ‘Novoreich’ regime led by Hunter. The title will utilize a proprietary engine optimized for ray-traced global illumination. As of October 13, 2026, Deep Silver has opened digital pre-orders for Metro 2039 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
