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.".

Hopefully we'll see more of these kind of developments.

Quoting: HoriIn any case, I'll get the game when it will have a Linux version and I'll have an RTX card.It is still a question whether the Linux port is getting a raytracing feature.
Quoting: TheRiddickDoes this game have native Vulkan option?
its on stadia.i dont know how different the stadia OS is to an desktop distro, but kernel, vulkan and maybe mesa (or AMD delivers their own stadia driver) should be the same

Stadia is using amdvlk. Though I wonder if advancements in radv/aco will change that in the future.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWith 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... .
I'm from Argentina chamigo!
But I keep my question, how do you download the game on Linux with the game pass??
Regarding the price, I spent more than that just for Valentines day dinner so it's definitely something that any middle class citizen is able to pay if he wants. Not to mention that is, at least for myself, very good price for a native version (in fact, I'll probably pay the full price if the native version gets released).

Quoting: PatolaSeems that recent protondb reports have not been approved yet (sometimes the approvers take they time and they take a few days or even weeks to be published), can anyone who bought the game say if it runs OK with proton at this time?
Somebody said it runs good in proton (over on the reddit thread regarding this I believe).
