Metro Redux is getting a free next-gen update. Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux land on PC on October 22, 2026, and on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S on October 29, according to Digital Foundry and Pure Xbox. It is not a remake: Deep Silver describes improvements for current hardware.
What the Metro Redux update adds
Digital Foundry ties the Metro Redux package to the series passing 50 million copies. On consoles, the cited modes are native 4K at 60 fps and upscaled 4K at 120 fps, if the TV or monitor can handle it. What Xbox Series S will deliver has not been detailed.
- 4K textures, more faithful animation, higher-quality audio and richer environments.
- Higher-quality lighting, shadows and particles, plus runtime tessellation and displacement.
- PSSR on PS5 Pro and TSR with anti-aliasing on Xbox Series X.
- Spatial audio on Xbox, DualSense adaptive triggers and Impulse Triggers on Xbox controllers.
- A power-saver mode on PlayStation and Power Optimized Mode on Xbox, with Xbox Handheld and Xbox Play Anywhere.
Who gets Metro Redux free
The update is free for existing owners of Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux on Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Windows Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pure Xbox notes there is still no formal clarification on physical copies. Full patch notes are expected at launch.
Gematsu recorded the PS5 and Xbox Series versions of Metro Redux arriving on October 29. The October 22 PC window comes from Digital Foundry. Check the official store the day before in case the publisher shifts the date. On PS5, Sony has also just opened another image front with QSSR on PS5, AI upscaling on the base console.
