Platform wars: When the Epic Games Store first launched, it wasn't
exactly met with open arms. Epic was quick to throw its weight around in
the market by offering a more appealing revenue share to developers,
and nabbing several exclusives for its platform (often long after they'd
become available for pre-order on Steam). While the former is great for
the industry as a whole, Epic's focus on exclusives left a bad taste in
the mouth of many gamers, especially in the case of Metro Exodus.
Metro Exodus, for the unaware, is the latest entry in the survival
horror-focused Metro series, and by all accounts, it's a pretty darn
good game. Unfortunately, despite being available for pre-order on Steam
for quite a while before release, Epic swooped in at the eleventh hour
and persuaded publisher Deep Silver to distribute the title exclusively
on the Epic Games Store for one year.
Several other timed Epic exclusives had similar arrangements, but their
deals have long since expired (and thus the games are now being sold on
other platforms). Metro Exodus was one of the last remnants of Epic's
initial exclusive blitz, but its distribution agreement has finally come
to an end as well.
Metro Exodus is officially coming to Steam on February 15, 2020. We
don't know how much it'll cost yet (its store page doesn't list a
price), but it will likely be $60 -- that's $10 less than what the game
normally sells for on the Epic Games Store (even on launch). If you
haven't had a chance to play the game yet, due to either personal
platform preference or some other reason, be sure to add it to your
Steam wishlist to be notified when it launches.
Aside from being an entertaining survival horror romp, Exodus has one of
the most impressive implementations of Nvidia's RTX technology that
we've seen to date. It also features Deep Learning Super Sampling, which
can help improve performance at select resolutions.
