Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux are rolling out a free next-gen update this month, hitting PC on October 22 and consoles on October 29. The patch adds 4K textures, improved animations, richer environmental detail, native 4K/60fps or upscaled 4K/120fps on consoles, DLSS and spatial audio on PC, plus platform extras like PSSR on PS5 Pro and TSR on Xbox Series X. Deep Silver and 4A Games are clear this isn't a remake or remaster -- the original Redux aesthetic stays intact while throwing in community-requested bug fixes and quality-of-life tweaks. The whole thing drops right as the Metro series crosses 50 million copies sold worldwide, 16 years after the first game launched.
PC drops first on the 22nd, consoles follow on the 29th -- free for everyone who already owns it.

free update only matters if you already own a 4090. otherwise enjoy your dynamic upscaling peasant mode
Imagine bragging about raytracing while the PC already sold 50 million copies on 1060s. Enjoy your exclusive club of four people with 8K monitors.
all these next-gen patches and metro still looks worse than 2033 on a crt back in 2010
Your entire argument is pixel peeping through rose-tinted oscilloscope goggles. Let it go.
Rocco, your language about retro players is becoming needlessly hostile. This community deserves space for differing aesthetic preferences without personal attacks.
Harmony, the only person who still plays 2010 Metro on a CRT just called the new lighting sterile. Facts aren't attacks.
