4A Games has provided a list of minimum and recommended Metro Exodus PC specs along with a performance chart for quick reference. Along with providing a list of minimum and recommended Metro Exodus PC specs, 4A Games also revealed what you’ll need to run the game in 4K, 60fps with Extreme settings. You should give the performance chart below the once over too in case bullet lists do your head in. We like bullet list, but we’re also a bit weird like that. Metro Exodus will also support ray-traced global illumination on Nvidia GeForce RTX series hardware. RTX-specific performance profiles will released by 4A in the “coming days,” it said. Windows 10 RS5 (Build 1809) or newer and DirectX 12 is required for RTX features. The game also features a Photo Mode which will work on all PCs, but it can also be used in combination with Nvidia’s Ansel. Without further ado, let’s get to it. Metro Exodus PC specs Minimum OS: Windows 7 (SP1 or newer) | 8 (9200 or newer) | 8.1 (9600 or newer) | 10 CPU: Intel Core I5-4440 or equivalent RAM: 8GB GPU: GeForce GTX 670 | GeForce GTX 1050 | AMD Radeon HD 7870 VRAM: 2 GB Direct X: 11 |12 Recommended OS: Windows 10 CPU: Intel Core I7-4770K or equivalent RAM: 8GB GPU: GeForce GTX 1070 | GeForce RTX 2060 | AMD RX Vega 56 VRAM: 8 GB Direct X: 12 High OS: Windows 10 CPU: Intel Core I7-8700K or equivalent RAM: 16GB GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti | GeForce RTX 2070 | AMD RX Vega 64 VRAM: 8 GB Direct X: 12 Extreme OS: Windows 10 CPU: Intel Core I9-9900K or equivalent RAM: 16GB GPU: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti VRAM: 11 GB Direct X: 12 Metro Exodus releases February 15 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.<doc-sep>Metro Exodus will require at least Nvidia's GTX 1070 to run at average 60 FPS in 1080p resolution. System specs reveal that 1440p and 4K enthusiast will need a top of the line CPUs and GPUs to run the game at the best possible settings. 4A Games' are getting ready for Metro Exodus release with the reveal of the official PC system requirements. Judging by the required hardware, Metro Exodus will be one graphically demanding title. To get Metro Exodus running at 30 FPS on 1080p, you'll need Intel's four-core CPU i5-4440, Nvidia's GTX 1050 or AMD's Radeon HD 7870 and 8 GB of RAM. This is the bare minimum which requires dropping the graphics settings to low. If you want to achieve an additional 30 FPS and turn the settings up to high, 4A Games once again recommended Intel's 4th gen CPU i7-4770k. Not scary at all but everything changes once we take a look at the GPU department. Metro Exodus will require Nvidia's GTX 1070 or the latest RTX 2060 and for the red team, Vega 56 is the sweet spot. You'll also need 16 GB of RAM. 1440p and 4K resolutions are when things start to go out of the roof. If you're looking to crank up the graphics settings to the max, Metro Exodus will make sure to squeeze every bit of power available. Intel's six-core CPU i7-8700k and RTX 2070 are recommended combination if 60 FPS at ultra settings and 1440p resolution is what you're aiming for. GTX 1080TI or AMD's Vega 64 will also do the job while the required RAM size stayed at 16 GB. For extreme graphics settings, 4K and 60 FPS, you better have Intel's eight-core and sixteen-thread i9-9900k CPU while Nvidia's flagship GPU RTX 2080TI will be just enough. These two components are currently the best you can get if you're looking for raw power, but they are very pricey parts and don't offer the best value. 4A Games Metro Exodus PC specs It's interesting to see that 4A Games didn't include any Ryzen CPUs which offer the best price to performance ratio and could easily drop in instead of Intel's 4th gen CPUs. Metro Exodus looks great in trailers and it will certainly be one of the best looking games this year but still, it wouldn't hurt to see just a little bit more optimisation from the developer. But, for a proper look at the game's visuals and performance, we will have to wait 15 February 2019 when Metro Exodus comes to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.<doc-sep>Metro Exodus isn't your standard first-person shooter. Run in all guns blazing and the third entry in the acclaimed Metro series will chew you up and spit you out. No, Exodus is a 'thinking person's' FPS, which blends RPG elements and sandbox style level design (think Crysis) with the tight shooting mechanics of the previous, more linear games. The result? A unique and hugely rewarding playground of destruction - with just enough freedom to draw you into the world. 7 The summer season has a Mad Max feel to it - and we loved it So, what's it about? Set in 2036, the story takes place in Moscow - two years after the events of Metro: Last Light (well worth a play if you're new to the series). The world was ravaged by nuclear war 23 years ago, causing whatever life that remained to morph into terrifying creatures. Families escaped the radiation by fleeing to the metro system - where they built communities. But it wasn't long before rival factions formed - looking to capitalise on the chaos and bring about a new world order. In Exodus, you once again play Artyom, who's part of a team called the Spartan Rangers. At the start of the game, you - along with a small squad of brave wariors, are forced to flee Moscow on a train called the Aurora in search of a new life. 7 Along your journey you'll meet small groups of survivors - but can you trust them? Now here's where it gets interesting The story takes place over the course of one year - as you continue your travels across Russia. For the first time in the series, there are different seasons - starting with a harsh nuclear winter. At a recent hands-on event, we got to play through winter, summer and autumn - which all felt incredibly different. During one of the winter levels, the Aurora became stuck near a bridge on a huge lake. 7 Metro Exodus seemed to be running at 30FPS on Xbox One X but was rendered in native 4K We were then sent to explore the nearby area, which quickly turned into a hunt for an engineer who could fix our train. Sounds easy enough, but add hordes of deranged mutants and the scariest lobsters you've ever seen, and you've got an incredibly tense affair. Then it was on to summer, which was more than a bit reminiscent of Mad Max. Scorching heat and sandstorms help add a new dimension to the gameplay - with the latter providing cover should you want to evade mutants or violent scavengers. 7 The autumn level we played was the most linear of the lot - but still offered plenty of freedom Riding shotgun This was also the first time we got to experience a vehicle - a rusty old van. It proved a welcome addition, given the size of the sandbox. It's not dauntingly big, but large enough to encourage exploration. Venturing off the beaten track will reward you with powerful weapons - not to mention the odd Easter Egg. Autumn felt slightly more linear than the other two seasons (we didn't get to play spring), which is no bad thing. Here, you'll dart in and out of dilapidated houses, searching for supplies in an experience that's perhaps the most 'Metro' of the lot. 7 The game's AAA Engine provides some breathtaking visuals on all platforms It also introduced us to the trusty crossbow, which was perfect to take down enemies silently - especially important given that you lose all of your gear at the start of the level. No matter what season you play through, one thing you cannot do is run in. You're encouraged to think and search for alternative routes - after all, developers AAA Games admitted they were heavily influenced by Half Life 2, and it really shows. Ammo is in short supply making each firefight especially tense. Expend too much and you'll be in deep trouble should you run into another group of guards or monsters. You'll constantly need to manage your inventory (don't worry, it's easy to use), creating bullets and upgrading gear. 7 Playing through the summer season level reminded us of Half Life 2 - which can only be a good thing If looks could kill Obviously, none of this would matter if the game didn't look the part - and thankfully, as per the two titles, developers AAA have pushed the visuals to the next level. If you're lucky enough to own a Nvidia GTX2080 graphics card, then you're in for a treat. Exodus supports Real Time Ray Tracing (which will think will soon become standard across most big titles) - making for truly breathtaking presentation. Even with RTX 'off', Exodus was still one of the best-looking games we've seen. Ever. The sheer level of detail is astounding - from pin-sharp textures to sprawling vistas stretching as far as the eye can see. If you can spare the graphics memory, be sure to switch on Advance PhysX - which allows for more realistic gunshot reactions on objects, not to mention jazzed-up muzzle flashes. 7 Stay away from the windows! You don't know what's outside Console owners don't fret - Exodus looks amazing on here too. We had a quick look at the game running on an Xbox One X and even though it seemed to be running at 30FPS (PCs were hitting 60), it still looked wonderful in native 4K. We can't wait. Metro Exodus arrives on February 15 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. *Sorry Nintendo Switch owners but this would probably melt your console. **The first two Metro games are available on Xbox Games Pass - so be sure to check them out.<doc-sep>We played four hours of 4A's upcoming Metro Exodus on Xbox One, and have a lengthy discussion about the shooter's shift into sandbox survival. With the upcoming release of Metro Exodus, developer 4A Games brings its shooter series into the realm of sandbox survival. Recently, we got the chance to play through four hours of it, spending our time scavenging, exploring, and crafting weapons in Exodus's Caspian Desert. In the above video, you can join Tony and Mike as they recount their experiences. While some aspects have them worried, others have them excited for the final release. For more on Metro Exodus, you can read our in-depth preview of the same desert area, and catch up on 30 minutes of gameplay from our recent preview session. Metro Exodus releases February 15 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.<doc-sep>
