Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition comes to Xbox Series X/S and PS5 next month

Today, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition begins rolling out on PC, with totally reworked graphical features and ray-tracing effects. Next month, the Enhanced Edition update will also be coming to the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 consoles. 

On the console side, the Enhanced Edition will offer ray-tracing on consoles for the first time, including ray traced emissive lighting. For the first time on console, Metro Exodus will also feature higher resolution and frame rate modes, as well as an FOV slider:

In the video above, we can see the Enhanced Edition in action running on an Xbox Series X. This particular version will run at 4K and 60 frames per second, as does the PS5 version. The Xbox Series S on the other hand will run the game at 1080p and 60 frames per second.

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition launches on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 on the 18th of June. It will be a free update for all existing owners of the game. For those who don't own the game already, a new ‘Complete Edition' will be released, containing all the new enhancements and the two story expansions.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
