Next-Generation Updates for Metro Series
In an exciting development for fans of the acclaimed Metro series, Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux are set to receive complimentary next-generation updates. The PC version will be available starting October 22, while PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S users can expect their updates on October 29. For those who already own these titles on the supported platforms, the updates will come at no additional cost.
4A Games has emphasized that these updates aim to maintain the essence and aesthetic of the original Redux experience, rather than undertaking a complete remake or full remaster. Players can look forward to a host of enhancements, including:
- 4K textures
- Improved animations
- Higher-quality audio
- Richer environmental detail
- Community-requested bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements
For PC gamers, the update introduces cutting-edge features such as DLSS, spatial audio, and platform-specific optimizations. Console players will benefit from native support, allowing for 4K resolution at 60 frames per second or upscaled 4K at 120 frames per second on compatible displays. Additional enhancements include upgraded lighting, shadows, and particle effects.
Specific console features include:
- PS5 Pro users will enjoy PSSR (PlayStation Super Resolution)
- Xbox Series X will incorporate TSR upscaling and anti-aliasing
- Spatial audio support across Xbox platforms
- Play Anywhere and handheld support for Xbox users
As reported by Eurogamer on October 3, the Metro series has surpassed an impressive milestone of 50 million copies sold worldwide. This update arrives just ahead of the highly anticipated Metro 2039, scheduled for release on February 4, providing players with an excellent opportunity to revisit the first two Redux games before diving into the next chapter of the saga.
