Metro is already a heavyweight saga in the post-apocalyptic shooter genre. To celebrate its 15 years, the studio has made Metro 2033 Redux free on Xbox and PC. This is an ideal gift for both veteran fans and those who have yet to try this franchise. The series has stood out for its immersive narrative, its oppressive setting, and its mix of action, horror, and stealth.
The Redux version of Metro 2033 is an enhanced remaster of the original game released in 2010, featuring improved graphics, refined physics, enhanced AI, and compatibility with modern hardware, making it the definitive edition of Artyom’s first adventure beneath the ruins of Moscow.

Metro 2033 Redux offers an intense campaign that combines tactical shooting mechanics with elements of horror and survival. You will find yourself in a world devastated by nuclear war, facing both hostile human factions and mutant creatures, all while managing limited resources such as air filters and ammunition.
The atmosphere is one of its strongest points, and the game completely immerses you in the dark tunnels of the Moscow metro.
How to claim Metro 2033 Redux for free
To claim your free copy of Metro 2033 Redux, simply add it to your library from Steam, GOG, or the Xbox Store. Once you do this, it will be yours forever.
Of course, if you’re going to do it on Xbox, it’s important that you do it directly from the console, as if you try from the website or the mobile app, the game might still appear with its usual price instead of showing as free.
