I wonder why devs are giving away free upgrades this gen instead of charging again for remastered versions? I suppose backwards compatibility means people wouldn't bite?

Fantastic game. Best thing they can do would be to reduce the load times. They were terrible.

Some more info on the current gen upgrade here https://www.4a-games.com.mt/4a-dna/2021 ... xs-upgrade

Metro Exodus 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 both our ground-breaking Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) and the Ray Traced Emissive Lighting techniques pioneered in The Two Colonels expansion across all content.

The next gen consoles will benefit from dramatically reduced loading times thanks to our use of their SSD storage optimizations, boast 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 Dual Sense controller – anyone who’s frantically tried to pump up the pressure on their Tikhar in the middle of a pitched battle will be able to imagine the kind of thing we’re aiming for!

We’re targeting 1080p on Xbox Series S, but the other benefits above will apply, including 60 FPS and full Ray Traced lighting throughout.

We’re also working on additional polish and quality of life enhancements, including the ability to change FOV for the first time in a Metro game.

These Gen 9 console versions will release later this year and will be available as a FREE upgrade to all current owners – and we’re delighted to confirm that we will support Smart Delivery on Xbox to deliver this upgrade.

Nice, I really need to pull my finger out and play the second game so that I can get in on this.

I wonder how close the XSX/PS5 version will get to the max PC version?
It could be a nice benchmark game.

Yeah, will be good to see some comparisons and benchmarks. Those top end 3080/3090s are very powerful and without DLSS you can see those AMD cards struggling. Even native resolution they are a bit behind. Interestingly system specs are pushing for 8+ CPU cores, so very high specs.

I picked this up at Christmas from Epic store. Not got round to it, but I’m pleased as now I’ll get the upgraded version to play instead.

To be honest, Exodus was already a gorgeous looking game (on X1X) so even the free 60fps update would make me happy so any other stuff like RT will be a benefit.

I can’t see where to download the enhanced version on the epic game store. Do I delete the old one and download the enhanced version? Not sure what to do with dlc, that came with the cheap gold edition from epic at Christmas.

I had the same issue, restarting steam didn't help either.

try clicking https://steamdb.info/app/1449560/depots/ then select install, choose application and then select steam.exe in your c drive (Or wherever it is installed).

Ta. It has just appeared greyed out in my epic library. So yeah, looks like delete that version and te-download the enhanced version. I didn’t realise they have redone the dlc too.

Seems pretty generous.

This game was such a great surprise for me. I actually dropped it early on, but I’m so glad I went back to it a few months later and played it through. One of the most immersive non vr games I have ever played.

Ultimately though, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a success on consoles - and an important one, being the first major triple-A quality game engine to transition entirely to an RT-based foundation. The new game looks a lot better than the last-gen version, frame-rate is doubled, and even with some visible optimisations and cutbacks compared the PC version, the game still shines brightly thanks to the stunning global illumination technology. If you'd asked me two years ago if we would be seeing a console game running at 60fps and built on an ambitious real-time RT GI solution, I would have scarcely believed it possible - and yet here it is. 4A has delivered amazing work and I highly recommend checking it out, and we'll return as soon as we can with a look at the PlayStation 5 rendition of the game.
