Metro Exodus promises 4K 60fps with ray tracing and DualSense support on PS5

According to 4A Games, Metro Exodus on PS5 will be able to hit 4K/60fps with full ray-traced lighting. The developer has now detailed what we can expect from the post-apocalyptic first-person shooter's free PS5 upgrade.

4A Games promises that Metro Exodus will run at 4K/60fps with full-ray traced lighting. The base game and its two DLC expansions will feature "both our ground-breaking Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) and the Ray Traced Emissive Lighting techniques pioneered in The Two Colonels expansion across all content." Also, thanks to the PS5's lightning-fast SSD and some clever SSD optimisation from 4A, you can expect "dramatically reduced loading times."

The PS5 DualSense controller is also getting some love. Metro Exodus will support the controller's haptic feedback features. "Anyone who’s frantically tried to pump up the pressure on their Tikhar in the middle of a pitched battle will be able to imagine the kind of thing we’re aiming for," 4A says.

The developer is currently adding some additional polish and quality of life enhancements to Metro Exodus, including a new FOV slider.

The free PS5 upgrade for all current owners of Metro Exodus is due to roll out sometime later this year.
