Deep Silver and 4A Games have announced a free next-gen update for Metro Redux, the pack that includes Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux. On PC, the update arrives on October 22, 2026. Native releases for PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S follow on October 29. Owners of the PS4 or Xbox One versions get the upgrade at no cost.
What is in the pack
According to the announcement reported by Gematsu, this is not a remake or a new remaster. The original Redux experience and look stay in place, with changes aimed at current hardware: 4K textures, more faithful animation, higher-quality audio, richer environments, community-requested fixes, and quality-of-life tweaks. Clearer dialogue is also on the list cited by specialist outlets.
On console, the stated target is native 4K at 60 frames per second, or upscaled 4K at 120 frames, if the TV or monitor supports it. PS5 Pro gets PSSR support. Xbox Series X gets TSR, anti-aliasing, and spatial audio. DualSense uses adaptive triggers; the Xbox controller uses Impulse Triggers. Power-saving modes are also listed for PlayStation and Xbox.
On PC, besides textures and fixes, the update includes DLSS and spatial audio, according to The FPS Review on October 2. Anyone who already owns Metro Redux on PC gets the same pack without paying again.
Why return to the metro now
Digital Foundry framed the pack as a celebration of 50 million series sales. Beebom also attributes the 50 million figure to Deep Silver and notes that the next game, Metro 2039, is set for February 4, 2027. The update therefore works as a way back in before that release, not as a substitute for it.
What still depends on the patch itself is how image and performance will vary across PS5, Series S, and PC. The resolution and frame-rate figures are announced targets, not independent post-patch measurements.
