Developer 4A Games surprised players by giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free on most major platforms for a limited time.

Seriously, what are you doing? Go get it now!

this incredible offering Is Free for 48 hours

To celebrate the series’ 15th anniversary, the official @MetroVideoGame Twitter account announced that it was giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free on Steam, Xbox, and GOG. The catch? The first-person shooter is only free for 48 hours. For the procrastinators out there, the promotion ends on April 16 at 5 PM CET | 9 AM PT.

Originally released in 2014, Metro 2033 Redux is considered by many to be one of the most influential first-person shooters of the last decade. The game not only features tight shooting mechanics, but it also stands out for its incredible storytelling. Based on the Metro novel by author Dmitry Glukhovsky, the game takes place in a post-nuclear war Russia, where survivors use the underground railway systems to travel. If you like great shooters, or horror games in general, I genuinely can’t recommend this classic enough.

And if you’re wondering whether a 2014 title still holds up—it absolutely does! I’m going to go a step further and recommend everyone also check out Metro: Last Light and Metro Exodus as well.
