Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux: free next-gen update announced

Developer 4A Games has announced a free next-gen update for Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux on Steam.

The update marks the sale of 50 million Metro games worldwide. It brings 4K textures, improved animation fidelity, higher-quality audio and richer environmental detail, while keeping the original Redux experience and aesthetic intact. On PC, it also adds DLSS support, spatial audio and a range of community-requested bugfixes.

As a huge thank you to our players, we’re announcing that a free update is coming for all owners of METRO 2033 Redux and METRO Last Light Redux that makes several improvements and enhancements for modern hardware.

So, what have we done? This is not a full remaster or remake - the original METRO Redux experience and aesthetic has been preserved - but we have made careful, meaningful improvements to take advantage of the latest PC and console hardware. All platforms will include support for 4K textures, bringing greater depth and atmosphere to the haunting world of METRO. The update enhances gameplay immersion through improved animation fidelity, higher-quality audio and richer environmental detail. We have also managed to implement a range of community led bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.

For PC we have implemented DLSS support, spatial audio support as well as increased quality of life community bugfixes and frequently asked for improvements.

Coming October 22, 2026, for PC, October 29, 2026, on consoles, free for all existing owners of METRO 2033 Redux and METRO Last Light Redux on Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
