Metro 2039 is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC, with a February 2027 release. This page collects the platform, storefront and content-rating information that the store listings carry before launch. All of it is pre-release data and can change.
The game is a current-generation release. No PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo, mobile or cloud-streaming version has been announced, and no Mac or Linux build is listed.
Platform | Details |
|---|---|
PlayStation 5 | Confirmed platform. The store entry is a wishlist-only listing with no product page or pre-order yet. |
Xbox Series X|S | Confirmed platform, carrying the Optimized for Xbox Series X|S badge. |
PC (Windows) | Sold through Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store. The listings confirm a 64-bit processor and operating system are required. |
The Microsoft Store version supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so a single purchase covers both the Xbox Series X|S and Windows builds. English is the only language the store listings name, with full audio support.
Both the PC and console listings describe the same feature set. Every one of them points at a purely single-player release: no multiplayer, co-operative or online mode appears anywhere on the listings.
Feature | Status |
|---|---|
Single-player | Listed on every storefront. No multiplayer or co-operative mode is listed. |
Achievements | Steam achievements and Xbox achievements are both listed. |
Cloud saves | Steam Cloud and Xbox cloud saves are both listed. |
Controller support | Full controller support, including DualShock and DualSense controller support on PC. |
Family Sharing | Listed as supported on the Steam version. |
Xbox Play Anywhere | Listed on the Microsoft Store version, covering Xbox Series X|S and Windows. |
Content ratings have been assigned across a range of territories ahead of launch, most of them at or near the top of each board's scale, though the Australian and South Korean boards have assigned lower bands. The ratings and their descriptors are consistent with the survival-horror direction described for the game, and with the story and themes the studio has set out.
Board or Region | Rating | Descriptors |
|---|---|---|
ESRB (North America) | Mature 17+ | Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Content, Strong Language, Use of Tobacco |
PEGI (Europe) | 18 | Extreme violence |
USK (Germany) | 18 | Explicit violence, strong themes |
Brazil | 18 | Extreme violence, inappropriate language |
Australia | MA 15+ | Strong violence |
South Korea | 15 | Violence |
Taiwan | Restricted | Violence, horror, inappropriate language |
The PC listing adds its own maturity notice, warning that the game may contain some nudity or sexual content, frequent violence or gore, and general mature content. Ratings shown before launch are provisional and can differ slightly between storefronts, so the figures above may be revised.
No system requirements have been published. Every specification field on the PC listings is marked as to be announced, and the only hardware statement so far is that a 64-bit processor and operating system are needed. Neither the developer nor the publisher has committed to a resolution or frame-rate target on any platform, and any specific figure circulating before launch should be treated as unverified. Details of the engine work behind those eventual targets are covered in Development History.
No editions, pre-order options or pricing have been announced. Every storefront entry is a wishlist-only listing, and the game passed one million wishlists on the PC store within two weeks of its April 2026 reveal. The only distribution promotion the publisher has run so far is a mailing-list competition offering ten copies at launch. Metro 2039 will be publicly playable for the first time at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, from 27 to 30 August, ahead of the February 2027 release described on the Metro 2039 overview page.
