Metro Exodus was first released in 2019 and it was already a beautiful game, pushing PC hardware of the time to its limits. Now Metro Exodus will be even better with the next release of Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition for PC. Developer 4A Games has announced that Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition will be available for PC on May 6. It's free for anyone who has purchased the game on PC, though it is a standalone version and not just added to the existing game. For this reason, you'll need a ray tracing-capable GPU just to run it, so don't bother playing it if you're still using older hardware. It's actually designed to work with ray-traced managed lighting, so it's not an option you can turn off. These performance requirements are made more achievable by Nvidia's DLSS 2.1 technology, which uses artificial intelligence to enhance the image without putting too much strain on the hardware.
Console players will not be left out
New PC parts are hard to come by right now, so if you just can't upgrade your PC to run it now, or if you're a console-only gamer, don't worry. Metro Exodus is also being enhanced for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. This console update will be free for anyone who currently owns the game on PS4 or Xbox One. It will feature similar enhancements such as ray-traced lighting, as well as console-specific features like low controller latency on Xbox and DualSense haptic feedback on PlayStation 5. There's no release date for the console version yet, but it's scheduled to arrive sometime in 2021, so We will be attentive to the coming months. Today's best Metro Exodus deals
