The Metro franchise has long been synonymous with pushing the limits of real-time rendering technology. The first Metro game was one of the earliest to make use of the DirectX 11 API and Metro Exodus was the first title to show the potential of real-time ray tracing in a conventional game. Some two years after it launched on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, Metro Exodus is getting a major update to bring the shooter back to the forefront of next-gen graphics. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is set to release on May 6.
It is rather common for previous-generation games to get reissued on newer console hardware and bring along better textures, effects, and other bonuses that were not feasible on older technology. Many times, the PC version of a multiplatform game will offer a much better experience than its console counterparts and for that upgraded PC experience to make an appearance on newer consoles.
