While Metro Exodus was exclusive to the Epic Games Store for a while, it later went live on Google Stadia (which is Debian Linux) and today it's finally available on Steam. It also appears to be coming to the Linux desktop with news on that due soon.

A post on the Metro Exodus Steam forum titled "Linux Version?" that's been open since 2018 got a reply today, from the publisher Deep Silver:

We have of course reached out to Deep Silver ourselves to confirm this as well, however it would be weird for them to seek this topic out themselves to confirm it if this wasn't true. So it looks like we're getting Linux support for Metro Exodus!

Since it was ported to Stadia, it's not too much of a stretch to jump to desktop Linux on Steam. A few different libraries here and there but it's still Linux. The developer, 4A Games, did also bring the previous two Metro titles to Linux so it certainly would be nice to see them all available.

For now, you can check out Metro Exodus on Steam. However, as usual it's worth holding onto your monies until it's actually out. Once we have more information, we will share it.

Hat tip to Xakep.


Update: Deep Silver replied to our email and simply said "Yes this is correct.".

They was going to release it on steam, they had prepurchase there. Also they had experience porting metro 1 and 2. It's probably they had linux in mind from zero-day of developing. I hope wont be hard for them to release a build for linux now. :D i have big hopes.

Did steam ever fix the problem with linux purchases being counted as windows sales?

First game to get a Linux Desktop port after a Stadia Port? Sweet! instant buy

I wish they would just make sure the game runs well with Proton instead of focusing resources on a native port that would surely be abandoned in a couple months.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoSadly, the Steam regional price for Argentina is 4 times more expensive than the Xbox Game Pass version.

But with game pass you don't own the game, you have to pay monthly in order to get access to it, doesn't it? More over, how you will be able to download this game with game pass when you need Microsoft Store in order to play it? I don't understand your comparison...

Either way, right now I see it on Steam for $899,40 ($1160,23 with taxes). For a AAA game with native support is quite cheap IMO.

I wonder why they are doing this. Don't misunderstand me, this is great, but I thought Linux isn't feasible from a business point of view. I say this with what I heard from a developer, saying that Stadia and Desktop Linux is far to different. So apparently, it seems, the difference isn't that significant? A interview with Deep Silver would be nice.

Does this game have native Vulkan option?

With Game Pass you can play the game, and if You like it, you can buy it with an extra discount...
Last year I purchased the Gold edition of the game on sale in the XGP store for just 287 AR$.
Deepsilver just fuc*ed argentinian steam users.

And no. I don't know where are you from, but No way $1160,23 is cheap... .

Can you not just buy a cdkey from one of those key stores that sell a global key and use that to bypass integrated steam Argentina BS corrupt tax system? or are you guys blocked from global keys?
