The PS5 version of Metro Redux, with Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, was added to PlayStation Plus Premium unannounced, spotted on 3 November 2026.
What Happened
The PlayStation 5 version of Metro Redux, the remastered pack of the post-apocalyptic shooters Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, has been added to the PlayStation Plus Premium catalogue without any announcement. Gaming sites spotted the addition on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, and PlayStation's own account on X then promoted it, listing Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux for Premium members. The older PlayStation 4 version had already been in the catalogue for some weeks; the listing now covers the native PS5 edition as well.
Key Facts
- What was added: the native PS5 version of Metro Redux, which contains Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux.
- Who gets it: members on the PlayStation Plus Premium tier, at no extra cost.
- When: the addition was reported on 3 November 2026; it was not announced by Sony or the publisher, Deep Silver, beforehand.
- The PS4 version was already part of the catalogue; reports differ on whether it arrived in August or September.
- PS5 features listed in reports: native PS5 and PS5 Pro support, 4K at 60 frames per second, and an upscaled 4K mode at 120 frames per second using PSSR, Sony's upscaling technology for the PS5 Pro.
- The pair is usually sold for $29.99, according to reports.
- PlayStation's regular monthly catalogue update for Extra and Premium members is still to come later in November.
Why It Matters
PlayStation Plus is sold in tiers, and Premium is the highest. Surprise additions like this one are a small but real benefit for subscribers, because they arrive outside the normal monthly schedule.
The change from the PS4 to the PS5 version matters for players with newer consoles. A PS4 game runs on a PS5 through backward compatibility, but a native PS5 version can use the newer console's power for higher resolution, faster loading and smoother frame rates. The reported 120 frames per second mode needs a television or monitor that supports it, and the PSSR upscaling mode is for the PS5 Pro.
The Metro games are post-apocalyptic survival shooters, and the Redux pack brings the first two games of the series together in remastered form, which makes it an easy starting point for players new to the series.
For young gamers in India, where game prices are often a barrier, subscription catalogues have become one of the main ways to try older and mid-priced games without buying each one. A surprise addition is worth noting because games in these catalogues can also leave later, so players who want to try them often move quickly.
Peepals timeline: Metro Redux's PS4 version joined the PlayStation Plus catalogue earlier this year (reports say August or September 2026). On 3 November 2026, gaming sites noticed that the native PS5 version had been added for Premium members without notice. PlayStation's account on X then promoted the two games to Premium members. Sony's main monthly catalogue update for November is due later in the month.

Impact
Short-term: PS Plus Premium members with a PS5 can download and play the PS5 version of both Metro games at no extra cost.
Long-term: Unannounced additions show Sony is still adding to the Premium tier between monthly drops, which may make the top tier more attractive to players who want older games in their best versions.
Who is affected: PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, PS5 and PS5 Pro owners, fans of story-driven shooters, and players deciding which PS Plus tier to choose.
What to watch next: PlayStation's full November 2026 catalogue line-up for Extra and Premium members, which reports say will be revealed on Wednesday, 11 November.
