What’s new in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition? An underground tunnel from early in the game. While the PS5 and Xbox Series X will get a version of this enhanced edition later this year, the team at 4A Games have had most of their focus fixed on next week’s PC version release. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition takes this idea and instead focuses on upgrades that make the best use of the advancements in PC gaming hardware since early 2019. The Metro franchise already explored this territory in 2014 when the Redux editions of Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light released for PS4 and Xbox One. This edition of the game added in some of the PC version’s ray-traced effects and offered smooth, playable frame rates. In February 2021, Remedy re-released the game as Control: Ultimate Edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The PS4 and Xbox One versions were plagued by inconsistent frame rates, lower-quality assets, and the complete omission of the ray-traced effects that made the PC version a showstopper in 2019. Remedy’s Control is a good example of this.

It is rather common for previous-generation games to get reissued on newer console hardware and bring along better textures, effects, and other bonuses that were not feasible on older technology. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is set to release on May 6. Some two years after it launched on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, Metro Exodus is getting a major update to bring the shooter back to the forefront of next-gen graphics. The first Metro game was one of the earliest to make use of the DirectX 11 API and Metro Exodus was the first title to show the potential of real-time ray tracing in a conventional game. The Metro franchise has long been synonymous with pushing the limits of real-time rendering technology.
