Metro 2039 is confirmed for PS5 and is scheduled to launch globally on February 4, 2027, with February 5 listed for parts of Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. The supplied US PlayStation Store listing shows a $69.99 Standard edition and a $99.99 Deluxe edition. It also confirms offline play, one player, and support for the DualSense wireless controller's vibration function and trigger effect.
This is a pre-release summary, not a hands-on performance review. No supplied source confirms the final PS5 resolution, frame-rate modes, install size, preload timing, PS5 Pro enhancements, or launch-patch behavior.

The PS5 release is not a PlayStation exclusive. It is one version of the same new mainline Metro game also announced for current Xbox consoles and PC. Within the PlayStation family, however, only PS5 is confirmed in the supplied official baseline. There is no announced PS4 version in that material.
Confirmed PS5 features
The PlayStation Store provides a short but useful set of PS5-specific facts:
- Offline play is enabled. The campaign is presented as a solo experience rather than an online-only game.
- The listing supports one player. The game baseline also identifies Metro 2039 as a single-player story.
- DualSense vibration and trigger effects are supported. That wording confirms controller vibration and trigger feedback, but it does not establish the exact implementation for every weapon or action.
- In-game purchases are optional. The listing does not identify what those purchases will be, so it would be unsafe to infer a store catalog or monetization model.
- Digital console sharing follows PlayStation account rules. The store states that the download can be played on the main PS5 associated with the purchasing account through Console Sharing and Offline Play, and on another PS5 while signed in with that account.

The campaign itself combines exploration, survival, combat, and stealth in post-apocalyptic Moscow. The Stranger is the player character, and the announced environments include swamps, irradiated cityscapes, and confined Metro tunnels. These details describe the planned game, not measured PS5 performance.
The sources do not confirm co-op or competitive multiplayer. They also do not state a PlayStation Plus requirement for the offline campaign. A generic note that online features require a PlayStation account should not be treated as proof that the main story requires an online connection.
PS5 editions and current US prices
The clearest PS5 comparison comes from the supplied US PlayStation Store listing. These are captured preorder listings rather than a promise that prices will never change.
| PS5 listing | Captured US price | Included content shown in the listing |
|---|---|---|
| Metro 2039 | $69.99 | Full game and Specialist Pack |
| Deluxe Edition | $99.99 | Full game, Specialist Pack, Story Expansion DLC, digital art book, and digital soundtrack |
Official Standard Edition presentation asset.
The Standard listing is the lower-cost route to the full game. Its Specialist Pack is described as a preorder bonus that provides early unlocks for Munitions, Chemtech, and Equipment backpack upgrades. “Early unlocks” does not prove that those upgrades are permanently exclusive to preorder customers.
Official Deluxe Edition presentation asset.
The Deluxe listing adds a future story expansion and digital extras. The supplied Amazon listing also shows a physical PS5 Deluxe Edition at $109.99, including a game disc, exclusive steelbook, hardback art book, Story Expansion DLC, digital art book, digital soundtrack, and Specialist Pack. Because retail prices and stock can change independently, compare the live checkout price before purchasing.
An official Collector's Edition has also been announced, but its full contents and retailer availability belong to the dedicated edition coverage. The PS5 platform question can be answered without turning this page into a complete collector's-edition breakdown.
Digital and physical PS5 copies
Both digital and physical PS5 purchase routes appear in the supplied material.
The PlayStation Store listings are digital. Their account terms explain where the purchaser can download and play the content, including the main console associated with the account and another PS5 when signed in. The sources do not provide an install-size estimate or preload date.
Physical PS5 listings are present at GameStop and Amazon. GameStop shows a new Standard edition for PS5 at $69.99, although the captured page marked it currently unavailable. Amazon shows the physical Deluxe Edition described above. A retailer product page is evidence that a SKU is listed; it is not a guarantee of current stock, delivery timing, or an unchanged price.
The supplied sources do not answer whether the complete launch build is stored on the disc, whether a mandatory download is required, or how much free storage the final installation needs. Buyers who prefer physical media should verify those points after packaging details or launch documentation become available.
What the PS5 listing does not confirm
Several common PS5 questions remain open because the game is still in its pre-release information phase:
- There are no confirmed quality and performance mode names.
- No final resolution targets or frame-rate targets are supplied.
- Ray tracing is described in retailer marketing, but the supplied material does not define PS5 graphics modes or measurable ray-tracing settings.
- No PS5 Pro enhancement has been confirmed in the supplied sources.
- Final download size, disc install size, preload timing, and launch unlock time are not established.
- Cross-save, cross-progression, save transfer, and cross-buy behavior are not specified.
- The exact optional in-game purchases are not identified.
- The launch version number, day-one patch, and post-launch balance changes are unknown.
- Accessibility options and the complete PS5 language list are not confirmed by the supplied official baseline.
These are not confirmed absences from the game. They are details that the available pre-release sources do not resolve.
Should you preorder the PS5 version
Choose the Standard listing if the full PS5 game is the priority and you do not need the Deluxe digital extras. Choose the Deluxe listing only if the announced story expansion, digital art book, and soundtrack justify the higher captured price for you. For a physical copy, compare the specific retailer listing because availability and included physical items differ.
Do not base a purchase on assumed 60 fps support, a particular resolution, PS5 Pro upgrades, or a known download size. None of those details is confirmed by the supplied research. The reliable PS5 case is narrower: Metro 2039 is coming to PS5 as a one-player game with offline play, announced DualSense vibration and trigger effects, and both digital and physical purchase routes.
