For PC gamers we use our new Fully Ray Traced Lighting Pipeline and the latest GPU-compatible hardware from NVIDIA and AMD to provide the ultimate Ray Traced experience – the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition.
This upgrade is so extensive that it requires a GPU as the minimum specification, and we’ll have to deliver this version as a separate product – it’s not a simple ‘patch’ for the base game – instead it’s offered as an additional right to all existing Metro Exodus computer players.
