METRO Redux Next-Gen Update Out Now for XBOX Series X|S

Performance and visual upgrades

The update is available now on XBOX Series X|S consoles for both METRO 2033 & Last Light Redux. Once players download and apply the free update, both games can run in true 4K resolution at 60fps or upscaled 4K at a smoother 120fps. It also adds 4A TSR Upscaling and Antialiasing support.

The visual overhaul goes beyond frame rates and detail. More detailed textures, a refined lighting and shadow system, richer environmental detail and enhanced animation fidelity modernise both titles. XBOX Ally and Ally X owners also receive full support and optimisation, while the addition of XBOX Play Anywhere allows players to experience METRO across supported Xbox platforms and devices.

Controller feedback and original character

Developers at 4A Games used the latest XBOX controller hardware to add full support for Impulse Triggers, providing tactile feedback intended to heighten tension during exploration.

Although the update improves the core gameplay and visuals of METRO 2033 and METRO Last Light, the 4A team says each change was carefully tuned to preserve the original games’ look and feel. The update was designed to respect the community’s affection for the worlds it has followed over the last 16 years, giving veterans familiar environments with a tenser, richer atmosphere while offering newcomers a modern refresh of the series.

The series and what comes next

More than 50 million players have explored the METRO series since the first game launched in 2010. Its atmospheric storytelling and stealth-action gameplay remain central to the series’ identity. The update also gives fans and newcomers a modernized way to experience the world ahead of METRO 2039’s launch on February 4, 2027.
