Metro 2039 is scheduled to release on February 4, 2027. The official announcement adds an important regional exception: the game will be available on February 5, 2027, in some territories, including Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
The game remains in its pre-release period, and pre-orders are open. The currently confirmed launch covers PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Why two release dates appear
The official announcement uses February 4 as the main launch date but explicitly moves availability to February 5 in some territories. Therefore, players should not assume that every storefront will unlock the game at the same local clock time.
The US PlayStation Store currently displays February 4, 2027, at 4:00 PM UTC for its listing. That time should be treated as information for that particular store and region, not as a confirmed worldwide unlock time. The supplied official materials do not provide a complete platform-by-platform and country-by-country launch schedule.
Your account region and storefront listing will be the most practical references as release approaches. A US store displaying February 4 and an Asian, Australian, or New Zealand store displaying February 5 can both agree with the publisher's announcement.
Confirmed launch platforms
Metro 2039 is announced for the following current-generation platforms:
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
- PC through Steam
- PC through the Epic Games Store
- PC through Xbox on PC
The official release announcement describes February 4 as the launch date on all platforms, subject to the February 5 regional exception. The supplied official information does not announce versions for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or macOS. This only describes the current announcement and should not be read as proof that another version could never be announced later.
The game is a single-player release. On PlayStation 5, its store listing also confirms offline play for one player and support for DualSense vibration and trigger effects.

What releases on launch day
The official site lists three editions for launch: Standard, Deluxe, and Collector's Edition. This release-date page does not compare their contents, but the distinction matters when checking availability:
- The Standard Edition includes the base game.
- The Deluxe Edition is offered as a separate digital package with additional content.
- The Collector's Edition is a physical product whose availability depends on local retailers.
The publisher advises players to check local retailers for physical availability. A retailer's shipping or collection estimate is not necessarily the same as the game's digital unlock time, so physical buyers should verify both the official release date and the retailer's fulfillment date.

How to interpret a storefront date
Before relying on a countdown or planning a launch-day session, check four details:
- Store region: Confirm that the account and product page use your actual purchasing region.
- Displayed date format: A US listing written as
2/4/2027means February 4, not April 2. - Platform-specific time: Do not apply the US PlayStation Store's displayed time to Steam, Epic Games Store, or Xbox without a matching notice from that storefront.
- Digital or physical delivery: A digital unlock date does not guarantee that a physical copy will arrive or become available for collection at the same hour.
Preload timing has not been confirmed in the supplied material. The formal game build number, first-day patch version, and any launch-day update details are also unknown while the game remains unreleased.
How firm the date is
February 4, 2027 is an officially announced date rather than a retailer placeholder. It is supported by the publisher's game page and release announcement, while Steam and the US PlayStation Store display the same date.
However, the launch is still in the future. Release plans can change, and the current material does not promise that the date is immune to delay. Recheck the official product listing for your region before purchasing travel, booking time away from work, or relying on a specific unlock hour.
