Metro Exodus is getting major enhancements this year for PC and next-gen consoles

Metro Exodus is due for a big graphical upgrade this year and it won't just be for next-gen consoles. An enhanced edition of the game has now been announced for PC too, with improved ray-tracing, performance and other features. 

The enhancement list is huge, boasting full ray-traced lighting, denoising, improved temporal reconstruction technology, emissive lighting, ray-traced reflections, 4K textures and other bug fixes. The PC version will also be getting upgraded to DLSS 2.0, which should be a notable improvement over the DLSS 1.0 technology in the current version of the game. Consoles will get an upgrade to 4K/60fps gameplay.

The PC Enhanced Edition will be a free upgrade to all owners of Metro Exodus in Spring 2021. Those who own the Xbox One or PS4 editions of Metro Exodus will also get access to the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 enhancements later this year.

Aside from all of that, 4A Games has also confirmed that Metro Exodus is coming to Mac and Linux systems this year too. You can see the developer's full breakdown of the upgrade HERE.

KitGuru Says: The enhancements for Metro Exodus sound very impressive across both PC and consoles. It will be very interesting to see comparisons between this version and the original release later this year.

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.
