Metro Exodus is one of the big releases in Q1 as 4A Games’ popular franchise returns. The developers are covering all bases in their system requirements reveal with details on what you can expect on a 4K rig.
Minimum requirements should not be an issue for most gamers but meeting those will still only provide 30FPS which is not exactly ideal. Recommended requirements will be met by most gamers used to playing the latest releases and own a reasonably up to date GPU but the Extreme and even High settings are going to be taxing for most who are trying to achieve 60 FPS.
