4A Games and Deep Silver have officially launched the METRO Redux Next-Gen Update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — bringing the award-winning origins of the acclaimed post-apocalyptic saga to life in stunning new fidelity, at zero extra cost for existing owners.
The update went live on PC via Steam, Windows, Epic Games Store, and GOG on 22 October, and arrives today — 29 October 2026 — on consoles.
The Journey Begins Again — What Is METRO Redux?
METRO 2033 Redux and METRO: Last Light Redux represent the complete foundation of the beloved series — faithfully recreating Dmitry Glukhovsky’s haunting vision of a nuclear-ravaged Moscow, where survivors shelter in the Metro tunnels and fight for survival against mutated horrors, rival factions, and the darkness itself. Together, they form the definitive way to experience Artyom’s earliest adventures — now enhanced for modern hardware.
Next-Gen — True 4K, Smoother Action, Richer Worlds
This is not a remake or full remaster — it’s a respectful, powerful upgrade that preserves the atmosphere you know while making it look and feel better than ever:

A Milestone for the Series
The update lands as the franchise celebrates crossing 50 million copies sold worldwide — a testament to the enduring power of Artyom’s story and the immersive world 4A Games has built.
“It’s been an incredible journey over the last two decades, and we couldn’t be prouder — or more grateful — to our community for making it possible.”
— 4A Games
