The original Metro 2033 was released in March 2010 for Xbox 360 and PC (the version for PS3 has been canceled), and since then it has been considered the most graphically demanding game, above the equally famous Crysis. At the end of August 2014, this remastered version called Redux was released, designed for new generation consoles (also for PC obviously) with improved graphics, and was considered an excellent remaster of the original game.

Which PC do you need to be able to play?
Despite the fact that Metro 2033 Redux is six years old, as we have already said, it was considered one of the most graphically demanding games and already back then you needed a top gaming PC. range to be able to enjoy it in Full HD resolution and 60 FPS on average. . Really and obviously, those requirements don’t fit on a high-end PC anymore today and you can probably play them without a problem on any moderately decent PC.
In the following table we show you the minimum and recommended requirements of the game, the first two columns being the developer’s recommendations, and the last (4K at 60 FPS) our personal recommendation in case you want to play to the max and with the settings graphics at full capacity.
Minimum requirements (1080p at 30 FPS) | Recommended requirements (1080p at 60+ FPS) | Recommended requirements (4K @ 60 FPS) | |
---|---|---|---|
Processor | Intel / AMD dual core | Intel / AMD Quad Core at 3 GHz | AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Intel Core i5-6600K |
Memoria RAM | 2 GB | 4GB | 8 GB |
Graphic card | GeForce 8800GT | GeForce GTX 480 | Radeon RX 590 GeForce GTX 2060 |
Operating system | Windows 7 64 bit | Windows 7 64 bit | Windows 10 64-bit |
As you can see, you don’t need a state-of-the-art PC to enjoy the game, and in fact, even if you want to play it in 4K resolution and with everything at its best, graphics of midrange worth it without any problems. In our case, we can tell you that with an RTX 3070 and an ultra-wide monitor with 3440 x 1440 resolution, we have an average of 180 FPS with everything at maximum, so you can imagine.
