To celebrate the anniversary of METRO: Last Light original launch, we’ve partnered up with 4A Games to bring the original versions of METRO 2033 and METRO: Last Light Complete Edition to GOG, as part of the GOG Preservation Program – ensuring these beloved classics remain accessible and fully playable for years to come.

From the haunting isolation of METRO 2033 (-70%) to the desperate conflict and survival of METRO: Last Light Complete Edition (-70%), these adventures helped shape one of gaming’s most immersive post-apocalyptic universes. Now, both experiences are once again available for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

To mark the release, all METRO franchise titles available on GOG are now discounted until May 27th, 7AM UTC!

What a great day for game preservation!

Just a note - legacy drivers should not matter. NVidia reintroduced PhysX support for a couple games in one of their updates. The current list of supported PhysX games, even on 50 series of cards should be:
Alice: Madness Returns
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
Batman: Arkham City
Batman: Arkham Origins
Borderlands 2
Mafia II
Metro 2033
Metro: Last Light
Mirror’s Edge

as per:

MysterD: And of course, if and when offline and if Achievements were built into offline - I should have an option to Reset the offline Achievements popped or not...b/c sure, why not?

Mobeeuz: There is an interesting idea hidden in there: Achievement profiles where you can have another run though without losing your original unlocks.
Another idea: players can create multiple offline profiles, if they want say to re-pop offline Achievements in another new offline profile.

Timboli: Okay, I'm weak and caved, and grabbed both, despite not being totally convinced I needed to.
Please feel free to laugh at me .... I probably deserve it. LOL

At least now, I can concentrate better on more important things. :P
I don't know how expensive they are in Australia, but here in the USA on sale they're only $3 each, so I just kinda roll my eyes at people complaining they're not getting them for free. Obviously I don't know everyone's personal financial situation, so I'm just speaking generally...

Well they are not expensive, at around $5 AUD each here. But that is $10 I probably wasted and should have spent on something else. I'm not poor, but I'm not rolling in money either, so for me it is all about spending wisely. GOG can have the profit as a gift I guess, as I'm not a Patron and likely never will be.

Metro 2033's review score seems to keep dropping because of crashing issues. It's a shame GOG couldn't figure this out or rushed the game out the door; it hurts GOG's reputation for old games on new machines.

Hey everyone

Just wanted you to know that we are aware that some of you are experiencing launching/crashing difficulties with Metro 2033.

The appropriate team is currently investigating this further and indeed boiled it down to potentially problematic PhysX libraries.
We are planning to release a hotfix by Friday.

Until then I hope that the following might be helpful:
https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/36163450725661

Should any of you be still experiencing any difficulties, please note that any unusual settings on your machine e.g. high DPI setups could interfere with the game.

If things are still challenging don't hesitate to drop us a line and we will do our best to help:
https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us

I am "waiting on the line" myself in case I can help any of you further.

Cheers.

Thanks for the update! Best of luck in getting it fixed; hopefully GOG can figure it for most people, and hopefully reviews will be edited and result in an improved score. Godspeed.

Uh oh....

I'd better make sure to download the installers today, before the hotfix. Quickly tested it on Monday, and the game was running without issues for me.

Good idea, but I thought the hotfix would be a separate download / installation, at least at first?

I think you can answer, for example, when you stop lying about Dragon Age Classic, which you simply posted as a different preservation build (the original classic version is still available only with Galaxy, isn't that DRM?). Your excuses for not supporting older versions are especially funny, falran, although we're not talking about support, but simply about restoring the normal version you deleted.

Or we can talk about problems with other games you don't care about. For example, The Witcher 1, which has a similar problem, 20 fps on two CPU cores, and which no one has addressed yet.

I'd assume the standard process. Hotfix will be published separately, so that people who already installed from the current installers can update ,but the full installers will be replaced by the new version. Meaning they won't be able to be downloaded anymore.

Hotfix is live:

1.01 GOG v2 changelog (21 May 2026):
Updated PhysX redistributables to mitigate some of the common crashes.

I'm curious if it's going to make a difference.

I'm curious as well. Haven't been able to try it out.

Several edited reviews are suggesting a lot of crashing has been fixed.

If this is accurate for most people, props to the GOG technical team (although maybe the releases should have been delayed to find fixes and prevent the initial bad reviews). Might be obvious, but this should be the primary focus of the Preservation Program imo: stability / preventing crashes.

Nice!!. Finally got the game. Is the novel its based on worth a read?
