The first triple-A PC game that will *only* run on ray tracing equipped PCs (and next-gen consoles to come), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a phenomenal improvement over the 2019 original release.

Interesting.

I have to wait to get an RTX card first, but I will get this game, it's Linux native so it won't need Steam Proton.

RDNA2 GPUs have Vulkan Ray Tracing via the latest AMDGPU-Pro driver. 6900XT Metro Exodus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4r183JwhL0

NVIDIA has been releasing Vulkan Ray tracing enabled drivers since December.

Damn! I gotta update a game I haven't even played yet! Looks awesome! Edit: Went to update, found out this in case anyone else interested. "The ray tracing exclusive version of the game comes out on May 6."

Oh nice, really enjoyed the original, so might be nice to re-play it with all the ray tracing candy.

...looking forward to that as well. Also wondering about resizable_BAR on 3090 with this, and SLI-CFR for 2080 Tis (the original Metro Exodus worked with that).

I'm not even done with the video yet and WOW.

 

Impressive is an understatement. 

Take my money...

If you already own the original,from what I'm gathering the enhanced edition is a free update. makes me think there might actually be more than just 1 game company who takes care of their user base.The other I had in mind being Techland with Dying Light.  https://www.pcgamer.com/metro-exodus-enhanced-edition-is-free-for-existing-owners-but-needs-some-serious-hardware-to-run/
