With Metro Exodus about to launch on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, developer 4A Games has outlined the game’s next-gen improvements.
Metro Exodus, the post-apocalyptic shooter from 4A Games, is getting a free next-gen upgrade on June 18. 2021.
Xbox Series X|S and PS5 Players who already own the game on Xbox One or PS4 can claim the update, which adds a host of technical and artistic improvements.
Load times are dramatically reduced across all platforms, and the Series X and PS5 will receive 4K texture packs. 4A say the Xbox upgrade also benefits from spatial audio and controller latency. PS5 players can also enjoy immersive Dual Sense controller enhancements.
