Ahead of Metro 2039, Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light Are Getting Next-Gen Updates That'll Hopefully Make Them More Playable on Modern Hardware
The updates add 4K and 120 fps options on consoles and DLSS support on PC, with full patch notes due before release.
- Next-Gen updates for Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light arrive on October 29 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, bringing enhanced performance to the aging post-apocalyptic shooters.
- Both Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light have not aged gracefully on modern hardware, making these updates necessary to address long-standing bugs and stability issues that plague the original titles.
- For PS5 and Xbox Series, the games run at native 4K at 60 fps or upscaled 4K at 120 fps, with PS5 Pro featuring PSSR technology and other versions supporting DLSS.
- The October 22 PC release precedes the broader console rollout on October 29, arriving ahead of Metro 2039's February 4, 2027 launch, though an ongoing RAM crisis may constrain performance benchmarks.
- Senior Tech Editor Jackie Thomas, who covers gaming hardware for IGN, TechRadar, and Gizmodo, has tracked these developments for more than a decade and provides expert perspective on the updates.
