Metro Redux

Metro Redux bundles the reworked versions of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. Both games follow Artyom's fight for survival in and above the tunnels of the Moscow Metro after a nuclear apocalypse, combining linear story sections with survival horror, exploration, stealth and tactical firefights.

The Redux versions were originally modernized with the 4A Engine and form the narrative prelude to the series before Metro Exodus and Metro 2039.

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

Most owners of the previous PlayStation or Xbox versions get a free upgrade. Some individual editions may be excluded.

Metro Redux includes Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Native versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S arrive on Oct 29, 2026. PS5 Pro runs the PS5 version with added PSSR support.

On PC, the tech update is already available for Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG. The Microsoft Store version follows on Oct 29. No update has been announced for Nintendo Switch.

The two Redux games combine survival horror with firefights, resource management, exploration and stealth. In Metro 2033 Redux, Artyom's journey begins in 2033, while Metro: Last Light Redux continues the story in 2034. Choices and the karma system affect the course of events and possible endings.

The two included Redux games originally each need a dual-core processor with at least 2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, a DirectX 10 graphics card and 10 GB storage. For the recommended settings, the developers list 4 GB RAM and a DirectX 11 graphics card.

The original requirements date from 2014 and list Windows Vista, 7 or 8 in 64-bit. Today's Steam client requires at least Windows 10.

The free tech update for Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux has been available since Oct 22, 2026 on Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG. The original games remain. The developers add 4K textures, more detailed geometry, improved materials and animations, and spatial audio.

On PC, alongside 4A TSR, NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR are available for upscaling. The improved lighting uses screen-space global illumination, not ray tracing. From Oct 29, console players can choose between 4K at 60 FPS and upscaled 4K at up to 120 FPS on compatible displays. PS5 Pro supports PSSR and Xbox Series X TSR.

Important for Microsoft Store players: When upgrading on Oct 29, existing save games cannot be carried over. Instead, chapter select is unlocked. Each section can be started with a preset loadout.

Metro 2033 Redux tells Artyom's first journey from the Moscow tunnels, while Metro: Last Light Redux continues the story a year later. The collection is therefore the compact entry point to the main story before Metro Exodus.

Metro Redux includes two single-player campaigns. Both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux support German voice audio, on-screen text and subtitles. Steam also offers English, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian with full voice acting, among others.
