Metro 2039 Deluxe Edition is confirmed for PC as a digital pre-purchase. The US Steam listing prices it at $99.99 and packages Metro 2039, the Specialist Pack, and the Deluxe Edition Upgrade. The PC-compatible Xbox listing identifies the main Deluxe extras as the future Story Expansion DLC, Digital Art Book, and Digital Soundtrack.
The game is scheduled for February 4, 2027, although some regions—including parts of Asia, Australia, and New Zealand—have a February 5 release date. This remains pre-release information.
The important limitation is physical merchandise: steelbook and hardback art-book details appear with physical console Deluxe offers, but they are not listed as part of the confirmed digital PC bundle. Do not assume a console box photo represents what a Steam, Epic, or Xbox PC purchase contains.
Confirmed PC storefronts
| Store | Confirmed PC availability | Useful distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | Yes | The clearest itemized PC offer: base game, Specialist Pack, and Deluxe Edition Upgrade for $99.99 in the US listing. |
| Epic Games Store | Yes | A Digital Deluxe pre-purchase is promoted, but the available details do not establish its current regional price or complete itemized listing. Verify both before checkout. |
| Xbox on PC | Yes | The Deluxe listing supports PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Play Anywhere. It explicitly names the story expansion and two digital extras. |
Store choice does not change the announced launch date, but it does change where the license is managed and which store-specific features are available. Choose the ecosystem you expect to use rather than treating every listing as interchangeable.
What the digital PC Deluxe Edition includes
| Content | Confirmed role in the Deluxe offer | Important condition |
|---|---|---|
| Metro 2039 base game | Included | The game remains unreleased and is scheduled for February 2027. |
| Story Expansion DLC | Included | It is described as future content; no release date or story details are confirmed. |
| Digital Art Book | Included | This is the digital edition, not a confirmed hardback book for PC. |
| Digital Soundtrack | Included | Listed as bonus digital content. |
| Specialist Pack | Included with the preorder | It is also included with the Steam Standard preorder, so it is not the defining Deluxe upgrade. |
On Steam, the Deluxe purchase appears as three items: Metro 2039, Metro 2039 Specialist Pack, and Metro 2039 Deluxe Edition Upgrade. The upgrade is the portion that separates the Deluxe purchase from the Standard preorder.
No early-access period is listed. Buying Deluxe should therefore be treated as buying the additional content, not earlier access to the base game.
The Specialist Pack preorder bonus
The Specialist Pack provides early unlocks for three backpack upgrade categories:
- Munitions
- Chemtech
- Equipment
The available descriptions identify the upgrade categories but do not provide their exact effects, statistics, or progression requirements. They should not be treated as confirmed permanent exclusives or as evidence of a gameplay advantage beyond the stated early unlock.
Because the Steam Standard preorder also includes this pack, the Specialist Pack alone is not a reason to pay the Deluxe premium. The meaningful Deluxe additions are the Story Expansion DLC, Digital Art Book, and Digital Soundtrack.
Standard versus Deluxe on Steam
| Steam preorder | Standard | Deluxe |
|---|---|---|
| US listed price | $69.99 | $99.99 |
| Base game | Included | Included |
| Specialist Pack | Included | Included |
| Deluxe Edition Upgrade | Not included | Included |
| Confirmed Deluxe digital extras | Not included | Story Expansion DLC, Digital Art Book, and Digital Soundtrack |
At the listed US prices, Deluxe costs $30 more than Standard before tax or any applicable promotion. That premium pays for the Deluxe upgrade rather than the preorder pack, which appears in both offers.
A 10% Digital Deluxe preorder discount is advertised for customers who previously purchased a qualifying digital Metro game. The available offer text does not enumerate every qualifying title or establish that every region receives the same promotion. Sign in and verify the applied cart price before treating the discount as available to your account.
Digital PC and physical Deluxe are different purchases
Physical Deluxe listings for PS5 and Xbox show an exclusive steelbook and hardback art book alongside the digital art book, soundtrack, and story expansion. Those are console product configurations and should not be copied into a PC purchase checklist.
The confirmed PC storefront information establishes digital Deluxe availability. It does not provide enough evidence to promise an equivalent physical PC Deluxe package. If a retailer advertises one, check the platform field and the itemized contents rather than relying on the words “Deluxe Edition” alone.
This distinction also explains the price difference between the $99.99 Steam Digital Deluxe listing and $109.99 physical console Deluxe offers: they are different products on different platforms, not conflicting prices for one identical PC package.
Choosing a PC storefront
- Choose Steam if you want the most clearly itemized PC listing and prefer to keep the game in your Steam library.
- Choose Xbox on PC if Xbox Play Anywhere is relevant to you. Its listing explicitly supports both PC and Xbox Series X|S and identifies the Deluxe digital content.
- Consider Epic Games Store only after checking the live offer. PC availability is confirmed, but the supplied information does not verify its exact price or complete Deluxe bundle contents.
Whichever store you choose, confirm the displayed platform, region, price, and included items at checkout. Retail pricing and preorder availability can change before launch.
Release timing and PC caveats
- The announced global release date is February 4, 2027.
- Some regions, including parts of Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, are listed for February 5, 2027.
- Detailed PC requirements are not yet available. Steam currently states only that a 64-bit processor and operating system are required; it does not provide verified CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, or performance targets.
- The Story Expansion DLC is confirmed as future content, but its release window has not been announced.
- Metro 2039 is still in its pre-release period, so storefront details should be checked again near launch.
Who should buy the PC Deluxe Edition
Choose Deluxe if you already want the future story expansion and value the digital soundtrack and art book. At the current Steam prices, those additions are what must justify the $30 difference.
Choose Standard if you only want the base game and the Specialist Pack preorder bonus. Standard currently includes that same preorder pack for less.
Wait before buying if your decision depends on detailed PC performance requirements, a physical PC steelbook package, the expansion’s release date, or an Epic Games Store price comparison. None of those points is sufficiently verified yet to support a confident purchase decision.
