Metro Exodus next-gen upgrade launches for Xbox Series X/S and PS5

We've already seen Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition in action on PCs with all the settings cranked up, but what can next-gen console owners expect? This week, the Metro Exodus enhanced update drops on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, aiming to deliver “the most comprehensive ray tracing experience” on a home console. 

Most of the features found in the PC version of Metro Exodus Enhanced also appear on the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 version, with just two exceptions – DLSS 2.0 and advanced ray-traced reflections. Next-gen console players will still benefit from fully ray-traced lighting, emissive surfaces, ray-traced shadows and reflections.

Aside from the ray-traced lighting overhaul, the enhanced edition also adds 4K textures, an FoV slider and up to 60 frames per second gameplay. On the Xbox Series X and PS5, the game targets 4K/60 while on the Xbox Series S, the game will run at 1080p/60.

The Metro Exodus next-gen upgrade is now live across Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Those who own the Xbox One or PS4 version will get access for free.

KitGuru Says: I didn't expect so many ray-tracing features to carry over to the next-gen console version, but it seems 4A Games found a way. What do you all think of the next-gen version of Metro Exodus?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
