Deep Silver and 4A Games have confirmed a release date for the Metro Exodus upgrade coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Come June 18, the free next-gen Metro Exodus upgrade for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 will be made available.

Titled Metro Exodus Complete Edition, it will run at 4K/60FPS with full Ray Traced lighting throughout on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

The base game and DLC expansions will feature Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) and the Ray Traced Emissive Lighting techniques as was the case with the original release of Metro Exodus and The Two Colonels expansion across all content.

The next-gen version of the game will benefit from dramatically reduced loading times, 4K texture packs, and a range of platform-specific features including spatial audio and controller latency improvements on Xbox, and support for the haptic features of the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller.

These enhancements will be made available as a free upgrade to all PS4 and Xbox One and One X Metro Exodus owners, or available to new players with the Metro Exodus Complete Edition – a physical edition for franchise newcomers.

This Complete Edition includes the base game and both DLC expansions: The Two Colonels and Sam’s Story.

The Enhanced Edition of the game arrived on PC today.
