The fact that 4A Games was working on an improved version of Metro Exodus was something that was already announced last November. At that time, some of the improvements that it would include in Xbox Series X / S and in PS5 were indicated, but the company wanted to delve even more about everything we can expect from Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition .
As he has wanted to detail on his official website, his intention with this improved edition is to take full advantage of ray-tracing technology in order to offer a complete experience both on the new generation consoles and on PCs of high-end.
In this way, it has created a new lighting system with a series of optimizations so that it looks even more realistic in this particular section. What’s more, in the PC version it claims to have pushed these types of improvements to the limit in order to take full advantage of the ray-tracing compatible hardware from Nvidia and AMD.
In the case of the version for PS5 and Xbox Series X, Metro Exodus will be updated to move to 60 fps in 4K . Likewise, the loading times will also be considerably reduced, the textures will be better and it will also be compatible with the functions of the DualSense of PlayStation 5. For its part, in Xbox Series S the image will have a resolution of 1080p with the rest of visual improvements , although at the moment it has not been determined how many fps it will reach.
As for those who play on PC, it will be essential to have a graphics card that is compatible with ray-tracing for the update to work correctly. This implies that the edition will appear in the store as a separate product , which does not mean that all those who already have their copy for compatible will be able to download these improvements for free.
Mind you, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is expected to land on PC, via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, sometime this spring . Instead, those who have the game for consoles, who will also receive this update for free , will have to wait until the end of 2021 .
