What happened

Game Rant reports that Metro Redux is getting a next-gen update for PlayStation 5. Metro Redux is the remastered bundle of Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux, both from 4A Games. In the report, the update is presented as a new version of the existing bundle rather than a completely new entry in the Metro series.

The listed release date is 29 October 2026. According to the same report, existing owners will receive the upgrade for free, although the provided sources do not confirm whether this applies worldwide on the same date. The available information does explicitly describe it as a free upgrade for current owners, but leaves open whether rollout timing could vary by region.

The PS5 version is described in the article as running at 4K and 60 FPS. The report also mentions upscaled 4K at 120 FPS on supported displays, PSSR support on PlayStation 5 Pro, and DualSense Adaptive Triggers. The provided sources do not separately clarify which of these features were officially confirmed by 4A Games and which details come from Game Rant's reporting.

The same report links the Metro franchise to a milestone of 50 million copies sold worldwide. That figure is presented in the context of 4A Games and Deep Silver as an official franchise achievement. The provided information also mentions a $29.99 price for the PS4 version of Metro Redux, but it is not clear whether that amount also applies to the PS5 version or only to the existing PS4 release.

Background

Metro Redux bundles Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux. Both games are part of 4A Games' Metro series, and the bundle has long served as the remastered way to play those two entries on modern platforms. The new reporting puts that existing bundle back in the spotlight by pointing to a PS5 update.

The franchise milestone of 50 million copies sold worldwide matters because the provided context ties it to 4A Games and Deep Silver. External context also describes the same milestone as an officially announced total for the Metro series. That means the Metro Redux report lines up with a broader commercial milestone for the franchise, without announcing a new mainline game or spin-off in the provided sources.

The technical details in the report are specific, but not fully independently confirmed in the provided sources. 4K at 60 FPS is explicitly mentioned as part of the PS5 version. In addition, upscaled 4K at 120 FPS on supported displays, PSSR support on PS5 Pro, and DualSense Adaptive Triggers are listed as extra features. Because the available information mainly comes from Game Rant's reporting, it remains unclear whether these points were taken directly from an official announcement by 4A Games.

The pricing information also calls for caution. The provided context lists a $29.99 price for the PS4 version of Metro Redux. There is no confirmation in the available sources that this amount also applies to the PS5 version. The combination of a free upgrade for existing owners and a listed price for the current edition makes it important to keep platform and region context separate.
