Metro Redux is due a free next-gen update on October 22 for PC and October 29 for consoles, covering both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux.

Deep Silver, a PLAION division, says Metro Redux owners get the patch at no charge. It also points newcomers to Metro 2039, the next Metro game, due February 4, 2027. The publisher pairs the news with a sales milestone, putting the franchise at 50 million copies sold worldwide and not breaking that total down by game. The patch reaches owners on Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, the Windows Store, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Deep Silver stresses that the update stops short of a remake or remaster, and says the original look of Metro Redux stays. What it adds is 4K textures on every platform, improved animation, more detailed environments and better audio, plus fixes and quality-of-life changes the community suggested.

Console versions of Metro Redux get native support for PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S, according to Deep Silver, with true 4K at 60 frames per second. A second mode aims for 120 fps with upscaled 4K output and depends on the display. The platform extras start with PSSR support on the PS5 Pro and TSR upscaling with anti-aliasing on the Series X. Controllers get adaptive triggers on the DualSense and impulse triggers on Xbox, and Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Handheld support are listed too. No other console is named.

On PC, Metro Redux gains DLSS support and spatial audio on top of the shared fixes. Deep Silver says full patch notes arrive at launch, which is when its resolution and frame-rate figures can be checked against the shipped builds. A free patch that leaves the art alone costs owners nothing, and it gives newcomers a sharper way into the series before the next Metro game arrives in February.
