Metro Exodus
About Metro Exodus
Metro Exodus is 4A Games' first-person shooter-survival game based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel series, following a train journey out of Moscow's metro tunnels and across the Russian continent. Artyom and a small group of survivors explore different regions of post-nuclear Russia (the Volga, the Caspian Sea, taiga forests) aboard a locomotive called the Aurora. Unlike previous entries, the series shifted from closed corridors to open, semi-sandbox levels — a day/night cycle and dynamic weather affect stealth and resource management strategies. Gas mask maintenance, handmade weapon modification, and survival mechanics in irradiated zones preserve the series' signature tense atmosphere.

How can I get more FPS in Metro Exodus?
In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. Metro Exodus recommends 12 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
