In a surprise move that’s electrifying gamers worldwide, the cult classic Metro 2033 Redux is now available to claim for free on both Steam and GOG. This limited-time giveaway, announced earlier today, marks a rare chance to own the definitive edition of one of gaming’s most atmospheric post-apocalyptic adventures—but the offer expires soon.
Set in the crumbling tunnels of the Moscow Metro after a nuclear war, Metro 2033 Redux blends survival horror, stealth, and storytelling into a haunting experience. Based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s bestselling novel, the game follows Artyom, a young survivor navigating mutated horrors, hostile factions, and the ever-present threat of radiation. The 2014 Redux remaster sharpens the original’s visuals, refines gameplay, and adds new content, making it the perfect entry point for newcomers and a nostalgic replay for veterans.
Why This Giveaway Matters
The giveaway coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Redux edition, but developers 4A Games and publisher Deep Silver have stayed tight-lipped about whether this signals future announcements. Speculation is swirling about a potential Metro series revival or a new title, but for now, the focus is on letting players dive into the dystopian world that redefined narrative-driven shooters.
“Metro 2033 isn’t just a game—it’s a mood,” said longtime fan and streamer Jess Cortez. “The claustrophobic tunnels, the gas mask filters running out, the moral choices that actually matter… it’s a masterpiece that still holds up.”
How to Claim Your Free Copy
To snag the game, head to either Steam or GOG before the offer ends. Both platforms have the title listed as free for a limited time, though neither has specified an exact cutoff. Historically, similar giveaways have lasted 24–48 hours, so act fast.

A Gateway to the Metro Universe
This giveaway isn’t just a nostalgia play. With the Metro series’ reputation for deep storytelling and immersive worlds—see its sequels Metro: Last Light and Metro Exodus—this could hook a new generation of fans. Plus, with rumors of a film or TV adaptation lingering, there’s never been a better time to explore the Metro’s shadowy depths.
