Xbox Gamers Have a Critically-Acclaimed Free Game to Claim Right Now

Xbox gamers who act fast can currently pick up the critically acclaimed 2014 title Metro 2033 Redux free of charge. Metro 2033 Redux can be played on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles, so it’s a perfect time for those who have never given it a try before.

Released just four years after the original game, Metro 2033 Redux gave players an updated experience and a fresh way to enjoy one of the best post-apocalyptic games ever. For gamers looking to try the Metro series for the first time, the upgrade was big enough to make the game still feel fun to play over a decade later, making it a great entry point into the trilogy.

Metro 2033 Redux is divided into several sections and levels, here’s a complete list of chapters to help you track your progress through its story.

On the Microsoft Store, Xbox One and Series X/S gamers can grab Metro 2033 Redux for free. Players don’t even need to install the game immediately – they can simply add it to their accounts while it’s free, and install it at a later date when they actually plan to play it. With that in mind, there’s pretty much no reason not to. Interested gamers should act fast, though – it’s set to return to its full $19.99 price tag on May 27, giving users just a couple of days to take advantage of this deal.

Metro 2033 Redux is Currently Free to Claim on Xbox

Metro 2033 Redux was previously free on GOG and Steam last month, and it was intended to come to Xbox at the same time to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the original Metro 2033 game. However, technical issues prevented the deal from launching on Xbox in line with the other platforms, so it was simply delayed until a later date. That time is now, so it’s not to be missed.

It has now been over six years since the release of the last game in the series, Metro Exodus. The good news is that developer 4A Games is hard at work on the next installment in the franchise, although it’s currently unclear when it will actually be released. Early this year, 4A Games teased the future of the Metro series, promising a darker story with an emphasis on political and anti-war themes. Metro has never shied away from this kind of thing, so seeing how it turns out when it becomes even more of a focus will be interesting.
