4A Games has released the day-1 update for Metro Exodus (which is around 2GB in size) and revealed its complete changelog. According to the release notes, this day-1 patch  adds more filters for Photo Mode, improves VO and subtitles timing in all languages and brings general performance, balance and polish improvements.

This patch also packs a number of PC-specific updates. For instance, HDR saturation has been tuned, there are Motion Blur options, there are additional HUD removal options and there are some RTX improvements.

Regarding RTX, 4A Games has tuned DLSS sharpness to improve image quality and has updated learned data for DLSS to improve image quality with DLSS on. As such, we’ll re-test DLSS in order to see whether the image quality is improved when using DLSS.
