Update #2 []: In the latest update on this, the Metro 2033 Redux team says it will be repeating the 100% discount offer for Xbox players in the near future, and is still investigating the cause.


Update #1 []:

Developer 4A Games has updated us all on the status of its Metro 2033 Redux freebie, with the Xbox version still not available for free as was originally intended yesterday evening. The team says that it has "someone looking into" the problem, urging fans to "bear with us" as it attempts to rectify the issue.


Original Story: To celebrate the 15-year anniversary of Metro 2033, developer 4A Games has announced that the Xbox One 'Redux' version of the title will be completely free to claim for the next two days. At the time of posting, the discount isn't quite live on Xbox (as it is on Steam), but any minute now, Metro 2033 Redux should appear as totally free to claim on Xbox consoles until April 16.

The above trailer confirms that Xbox is participating in this freebie, with the description reading as follows: "In celebration of Metro's 15th anniversary, we are giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free to keep on Steam GOG and Xbox for the next 48 hours!".

We'll throw the team's social media post about this down below as well.

As we mentioned earlier, the Xbox listing is still showing as £15.99 / $19.99 at the time of posting - we assume there's simply a slight delay on the Xbox version becoming free. Be sure to check back before 9am PT / 5pm CET on Wednesday, April 16 to claim the game once it's live!

Metro 2033 is the first game in 4A Games' long-running post-apocalyptic shooter series, launching for Xbox 360 all the way back in 2010. Metro 2033 Redux then came out for Xbox One in 2014, and this version supports FPS Boost at up to 120FPS on both Xbox Series X and S.
