GAME INTRODUCTION
What to know before you play
Metro 2039 is the next mainline Metro game and is scheduled for February 4, 2027 in US timing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam, Epic Games Store, and Windows. It is a single-player story with a new voiced protagonist called Stranger. Deep Silver notes February 5 availability in some territories, including Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. No price, preorder package, or multiplayer mode has been announced.

The confirmed premise
Deep Silver describes Stranger as a drifter moving through a fractured post-apocalyptic world. The Novoreich regime, led by Hunter, is central to the conflict. The reveal establishes those names and roles but does not provide a full plot synopsis, connection chart, ending, campaign length, or confirmation that earlier protagonists are playable.
The gameplay description returns to four Metro pillars: exploration, survival, combat, and stealth. Official footage demonstrates the intended atmosphere and action, but it does not establish the final difficulty balance, weapon list, open-world structure, morality system, crafting tree, or PC performance.
Deep Silver also confirms a 60FPS Performance Mode with ray tracing at launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X. That announcement does not by itself define Quality-mode targets, Xbox Series S mode details, or final PC graphics options.
Xbox marks the game as Play Anywhere, so a digital Xbox purchase supports Xbox Series and Windows PC under that program. Its cloud listing says a purchase is required even for eligible cloud access; it should not be reported as a confirmed Game Pass catalog inclusion.
