“Didn’t you think Metro Exodus could look better? Keep our vodka.”
Metro Exodus developer 4A Games has announced a PC Enhanced Edition of its first-person shooter. As with the versions coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S, this updated PC version will be offered as a free upgrade.
“We have built a brand new pipeline with a complete Ray Traced Lighting that offers a number of optimizations, upgrades and new features to the Ray Traced Global Illumination and Emissive Lighting who did our groundbreaking work with the original version of Metro Exodus, as well as an upgraded implementation of our powerful Temporal Reconstruction technology to further enhance resolution, visual detail and performance, ‘4A Games wrote in a blog post about the new versions.
“And we’ve taken these improvements to the utmost to take advantage of the latest GPU hardware offered by Nvidia and AMD’s GPU hardware, to create the ultimate version for our PC enthusiast.”
On the consoles, Metro Exodus will be used at 60FPS. It will hit 4K on PS5 and Series X and “target” 1080p on Series S. You will be able to adjust the FOV of the game, and there will be haptic feedback on the PS5 DualSense controller.
There is no release date for these console editions yet, but it remains free upgrades. The Xbox version of the game is released via Smart Delivery.
A table with all the many visual upgrades that appear with the new console and PC Enhanced Edition versions of the game shows only two differences on the computer: “advanced reflections by the rays” and DLSS 2.0 support.
Meanwhile, a Mac version of Metro Exodus will arrive in March via the Apple Store, Steam and Epic Games Store. Later in the year, a Linux version will be released via Steam.
