The year is 2036.

A quarter-century after nuclear war devastated the earth, a few thousand survivors still cling to existence beneath the ruins of Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro.

They have struggled against the poisoned elements, fought mutated beasts and paranormal horrors, and suffered the flames of civil war.

But now, as Artyom, you must flee the Metro and lead a band of Spartan Rangers on an incredible, continent-spanning journey across post-apocalyptic Russia in search of a new life in the East.

NVIDIA released a Game Ready Driver for the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition, a new version of the game that is free to all owners of the original release. Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition updates the game with NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 while adding new ray tracing features to the post-apocalyptic, first person shooter.

Metro Exodus was a flagship title for real time ray tracing, using the then-new technology for global illumination to stunning effect, dramatically raising the immersion of the horror shooter. 

On May 6th, developer 4A Games will launch Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition, which adds additional ray-traced effects and updates NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 for greater performance and improved image quality. 

New, advanced ray-traced effects featured in the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition includes advanced ray-traced reflections, improved ray-traced global illumination, and the introduction of ray-traced emissive lighting - previously seen exclusively in The Two Colonels DLC.

The Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition runs exclusively on any ray tracing-capable GPU and is available for free to all Metro Exodus owners on the Epic Games Store, Steam, GoG, and the Microsoft Store, and offered as a separate version.

The PC Enhanced Edition is FREE to all owners of the original release on Steam, the Epic Games Store, Good Old Games and the Microsoft Store.

It offers additional Ray Tracing features including Advanced Ray Traced Reflections and support for the much requested DLSS 2.0 on NVIDIA hardware, which offers sharper image details and increased framerates and display resolutions. Further collaborating with NVIDIA, this update improves our existing Ray Traced Global Illumination tech innovated with the original release of Metro Exodus to make every light source fully Ray Traced, and implements our Ray Traced Emissive Lighting tech from The Two Colonels throughout the game.

This upgrade is so extensive, it will require a Ray Tracing capable GPU as the minimum spec, and will be delivered as a separate product – it is not a simple ‘patch’ to the base game – instead it will be offered as an extra entitlement to all existing Metro Exodus PC players.

This edition of Metro Exodus can only run on Ray Tracing capable hardware; check out our Recommended PC Specifications chart to see what kind of performance you can expect.

Will my saves carry over?

• Epic – Both versions share the same save game directory. Chapter saves will transfer over, but progress inside of a level remains with the version it was created on.
• Steam – Both versions share the same save game directory. Chapter saves will transfer over, but progress inside of a level remains with the version it was created on.
• GOG – Both versions share the same save game directory. Chapter saves will transfer over, but progress inside of a level remains with the version it was created on.
• Microsoft Store – We are unable to officially support save transfers on the Microsoft Store platform as save files are encrypted in their cloud solution per-product.
• NOTE: We realize that some players can’t/don’t want to carry over their previous progress, but also might want to access later levels directly. We added a Chapter Unlock feature to ALL PC Enhanced versions, as well as Gen9 console versions, for players who do not want to play through again, but want to see a particular level with the new features. This provides a default set of equipment and resources at the start of the selected chapter. Achievements are turned off for the save slot when the unlock button is pressed. However we highly recommend you play through again, to get the best experience, and maybe a different ending.

How big is the install?

• Base Game: ~72.2 GB
• The Two Colonels: ~1 GB
• Sam’s Story: ~6.4GB
• Total: ~80 GB
