Metro: Last Light Redux

Metro: Last Light Redux is the revised version of Metro: Last Light. The story follows Artyom in 2034 and continues the events of the first game. The Redux edition combines the campaign with all previously released DLC content, plus technical and gameplay improvements.

Metro Last Light Redux was released in 2014 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Nintendo Switch version followed in 2020. The free tech update has been available for Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG since Oct 22, 2026. The PC version on Microsoft Store gets it on Oct 29, together with the native versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Metro Last Light Redux is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Native PS5 and Xbox Series versions arrive on Oct 29, 2026. On PS5 Pro, the game uses the PS5 version with PSSR support.

Most owners of the previous PlayStation or Xbox version get a free upgrade. Certain editions may be excluded, according to PLAION. Nintendo Switch does not receive the tech update.

Last Light Redux combines linear exploration, shootouts, stealth and survival horror. Two playstyles shift the focus: Survival relies more on scarce resources and a slower pace, Spartan on more direct action. Ranger mode reduces the HUD and aids, and sharpens combat and resource management.

The Redux edition includes all DLC content previously released for Metro: Last Light. According to Steam, this adds around ten hours of extra single-player content to the main campaign.

For the October 2026 tech update, Deep Silver has published updated PC requirements. The manufacturer graphic shown below displays the hardware tiers for the revised version.

The original 2014 version required at least a dual-core processor at 2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, a DirectX-10 graphics card and 10 GB of storage. Today's Steam client requires at least Windows 10. The old figures are not equivalent to the requirements of the new tech update.

Metro: Last Light Redux continues Artyom's story in 2034. In the tunnels, survivors fight over a powerful device from the D6 military facilities. While political groups turn against each other, mutants threaten the residents of the Metro, and the irradiated surface remains deadly.

Artyom's choices shape how the story unfolds. The campaign ties together the conflicts between the human factions with the aftermath of the catastrophe and encounters with alien creatures.

Since Oct 22, 2026 the free update improves the PC versions on Steam, at Epic and on GOG. On PC, 4A TSR, NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR are available for upscaling. Also included are freely adjustable frame rates depending on hardware, 4K textures, more detailed geometry, reworked materials, spatial audio and improved control support.

The new lighting uses screen-space global illumination. Ray tracing is not part of the update. On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, native 4K at 60 frames per second or upscaled 4K at up to 120 FPS on compatible displays should be possible from Oct 29. PS5 Pro supports PSSR, Xbox Series X supports TSR.

On Microsoft Store, the PC update follows on Oct 29. In this version, existing save games are not carried over to the updated version. Chapter select is unlocked, so individual sections can be started with a preset loadout.

Metro: Last Light Redux is a single-player game with German voice audio, German on-screen text and subtitles. English, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian also have full voice acting on Steam.
