Here are the Metro Exodus system requirements

Metro Exodus will be pulling into the station - that is to say, your hard drive - in a few short weeks, and now we've had a look at the recommended hardware you'll need to power its locomotive across the blasted landscape of post-apocalypse Russia.


4A Games have been showing off Metro Exodus' use of the latest in graphics processing power over the past several months, and if you've got the GPU power to do it, you'll be able to see Artyom's collection of handcrafted firearms lit by raytraced light sources, courtesy of Nvidia's latest RTX graphics cards.


However, Metro Exodus looks pretty forgiving for players who haven't shelled out for the newest line of video cards. The minimum specs include an Intel Core i5-4440 or equivalent, and merely a GTX 670, 1050, or AMD Radeon HD 7870, with 2 gigabytes of VRAM.


Things ramp up quickly though if you want to see Metro Exodus closer to how it was meant to be played. For recommended settings, 4A suggests a GTX 1070, RTX 2060, or an RX Vega 56 - all with 8 gigs of VRAM. You'll also need a Core i7-4770K or equivalent processor, and these settings require DirectX 12.

Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition releasing on May 6

We are thrilled to confirm that the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition will be arriving on your PCs on May 6 2021. Boasting a huge graphical upgrade, including Ray Traced Emissive Lighting – as pioneered in The Two Colonels – throughout the main game, a Field of View slider for the first time in the Metro series and DLSS 2.1 implementation. This update is so extensive, it couldn’t be delivered as a patch and will be available for free to all Metro Exodus owners for free as a separate entitlement.

As this edition of Metro Exodus can only run on Ray Tracing capable set ups, check out our PC Specifications recommendation chart.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run it with Ray Tracing off?
No, this version is designed for Ray Tracing to be on.
What stores is this available on?
Epic Games, Steam, Windows Store and GOG.
Will this be available on Linux/Mac?
No, this version needs Windows to run. Players on Mac can play the PC version with Ray Tracing via GeForce NOW. Learn more at https://www.geforcenow.com/
Will you be adding in AMD Super resolution later?
We will not be adding specific support for this, as it is not compatible with our rendering techniques. However we have our own Temporal based reconstruction tech implemented that natively provides the same or better image quality benefits for all hardware.
Are you going to add Ray Tracing to Metro Redux?
No, we don’t have any plans at this time.
Will my saves carry over?
Both versions share the same save game directory. Chapter saves will transfer over, but progress inside of a level remains with the version it was created on. (for other stores please visit the blog below).
NOTE: We realize that some players can’t/don’t want to carry over their previous progress, but also might want to access later levels directly. We added a Chapter Unlock feature to ALL PC Enhanced versions, for players who do not want to play through again, but want to see a particular level with the new features. This provides a default set of equipment and resources at the start of the selected chapter. Achievements are turned off for the save slot when the unlock button is pressed. However we highly recommend you play through again, to get the best experience, and maybe a different ending.
How big is the install?
Base Game - ~72.2 GB
The Two Colonels – ~1 GB
Sam’s Story – ~6.4GB
Total ~ 80 GB
