News: If you want to play Metro Exodus on PC and you haven’t already pre-ordered the game on Steam, you are going to have to use Epic’s store.

Metro Exodus is a little over two weeks away from being released. Earlier today Deep Silver revealed that the PC version will not be appearing on Steam. Like some other high profile titles recently, Metro Exodus is going to be available exclusively on the Epic Games Store. If you are interested you can pre-order the game through the Epic Games Store. Both the standard and Gold edition is available and each pre-order will come with the Metro Exodus Original Soundtrack and ‘The World of Metro’ Digital Art Book.

“Metro Exodus is amazing and is deservedly one of the most anticipated PC titles of 2019,” said Tim Sweeney, founder and CEO of Epic. “We are partnering with Deep Silver to launch Metro Exodus, underpinned by Epic’s marketing support and commitment to offering an 88 percent revenue split, enabling game creators to further reinvest in building great games and improving the economics of game stores for everybody.”

“We are delighted to partner with Epic to bring the digital PC version of Metro Exodus to market,” said Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO at Deep Silver. “Epic’s generous revenue terms are a game changer that will allow publishers to invest more into content creation, or pass on savings to the players. By teaming up with Epic we will be able to invest more into the future of Metro and our ongoing partnership with series developer 4A Games, to the benefit of our Metro fans.”

Any customer with an outstanding pre-order for Metro Exodus on PC through any digital retailer will receive their game as expected. Essentially what this means is that if you have Metro Exodus already pre-ordered on Steam, you should still be able to get it on Steam. If you don’t have it pre-ordered on Steam though, you are going to have to use the Epic Games Store.

Metro Exodus is a story-driven first-person shooter from 4A Games that blends deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror in one of the most immersive game worlds ever created. Explore the Russian wilderness across vast, non-linear levels and follow a story that spans an entire year through spring, summer, and autumn to the depths of nuclear winter. Inspired by the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro Exodus continues Artyom’s story in the greatest Metro adventure yet.

In addition to the PC version, Metro Exodus will also be released on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on February 15th. Do you plan on picking it up? If so, which version will you be getting?
