Deep Silver has announced that Metro 2033 is available for free on Steam for a limited time. From today and until March 15th, PC gamers can visit its official Steam store page and acquire their free copy.
Metro 2033 is a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of mankind rests in your hands. Players assume the role of Artyom. Having never ventured beyond the Metro Station-City limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat.
Your journey takes you from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind.
You can acquire your free copy from here. Do note that this is the original version of Metro 2033, and not the Redux version.
Have fun!

Very good game. If you never picked it up before then I recommend that you do.
I was about to comment this. 2033 and Last Light give so much attention to detail compared to many triple A games. I would get it on GOG instead.
it’s not the redux version. Totally worth the extra few dollars to get the better version.
While i agree – Its still a solid title and a good way to test out the series before spending
LOL to downvotes. OH NOOO!! MY LIFE IS RUINED!! Prob got downvoted by people that can’t afford the few dollars lol
The redux is crap!
While the original is not that well optimized, it’s visually superior and more hardcore in terms of gameplay!
So is this version better or the Redux?
the original
you should not be playing video games if you can’t afford a $1 game. christ.
also the original metro 2033 is far better than the t*rd remaster.
whats worse?
what?
about redux
i’ve never played the reduxed version I’ve only played the original. what’s wrong with the redux?
I could talk about this forever. just know that they have done everything they could to kill the feel and atmosphere of the original.
character models, shooting, weapon sounds, lighting, textures, decals, tiny details, all gone and the performance is still inferior. the only thing they added is a sh*tty half a*s stealth system which I could do without.
Metro is just CoD with S.T.A.L.K.E.R aesthetics
Does it really matter when you have 6 turret sections where you have unlimited ammo?
Those self loading russian turrets are Putin bees knees
Why the f)ck they don’t the original LL available like 2033 too?
I wish they gave the original LL for free instead of this.
Redux is bad one. The original is great and not so hand holdy and AI is better.
Sadly I can’t get it to work with my current PC with Windows 10
I’m running Win 10 with a RTX 2070 Super and it works fine for me. It might be that you are running a newer driver that is borking older games. I use driver version 457.51
If you are using an AMD GPU maybe try an older driver version.
Always using the latest Nvidia drivers.
Well I already got this for free on Steam way back. Then I already got both redux versions for free on Epic.
Original is x100000 better than Redux.
