In addition, Metro Exodus will launch with ray-traced global illumination support for those with NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs. More info will be released on that soon.

Metro Exodus has, incidentally, come under fire lately from some PC players for coming with Denuvo: a widely derided DRM.

Metro Exodus launches on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on February 15th.
