Metro 2033 and Last Light are now on GOG — DRM-free and fixed for modern PCs

If you've never played the Metro series and want to catch up before this winter's Metro 2039, now is a good time: Metro 2033 (2010) and Metro: Last Light Complete Edition (2013) landed on GOG on 14 May 2026, DRM-free and patched to run properly on current hardware. Both titles join the GOG Preservation Program, which commits to keeping games playable without third-party launchers or activation servers.

The originals, not the remasters

These are the original 2010 and 2013 builds — not the Redux remasters released in 2014 that are already on Steam and Epic. That distinction matters: the Redux versions changed pacing, enemy behavior, and some gameplay systems. Players who prefer the games as they shipped now have a clean, legal way to own them. PLAION's press release confirms GOG's team improved Windows 10 and 11 compatibility, unlocked framerates, unlocked resolutions, squashed several bugs, and added modern controller support across both titles.

What the games are

Metro 2033 drops you into a post-nuclear Moscow where survivors have retreated underground and rival factions fight for control of the metro tunnels. Last Light expands the story and introduces a mysterious race capable of reading and manipulating human minds. Together they make up most of the lore newcomers need before stepping into Metro 2039.

Why this timing makes sense

4A Games, the Ukrainian studio behind the series, revealed Metro 2039 in April 2026. The new entry is due winter 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series, Steam, and Epic Games Store — leaving roughly six months to work through the back catalogue. Having the originals available DRM-free on GOG means you own the files outright: no subscription, no launcher dependency, no risk of a delisted title wiping your library. Both games are available now on GOG worldwide.
