Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux now have a free Xbox Series X|S update, adding a 120fps option alongside refreshed visuals. Xbox Wire announced its release on October 29, giving players a reason to revisit the two games.
Native 4K at 60fps, or upscaled 4K at 120fps
The announcement lists two alternative graphics modes: native 4K resolution at 60fps, or upscaled 4K at 120fps. It does not specify a separate mode breakdown for Series X and Series S.
The visual changes include more detailed textures, refined lighting and shadows, richer environmental detail and improved animation fidelity, with support for 4A TSR upscaling and anti-aliasing. The developers say these changes preserve the games’ original look and feel.
Snackgirls react
Red: I want to creep through those tunnels, then see how the 120fps option feels when stealth falls apart. That’s the sort of run I’d pick to try this update.
Nea: I’d want to linger over the details of Moscow’s underground. I’m especially curious about the refined lighting and how it preserves the original atmosphere.
Trigger vibration and handheld support join the update
Xbox controller Impulse Triggers are supported, bringing vibration feedback through the triggers.
The update also adds Xbox Play Anywhere support and optimizations for Xbox Ally and Ally X. Those handheld additions come alongside the console upgrade, though no handheld frame-rate target is specified.
