A new hotfix is currently live for 4A Games’ Metro Exodus. It applies to both PC and console versions but will be utmost interest to the former. That’s because it removes Denuvo from the Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox Game Pass for PC versions of the game. If you’ve been on the fence about it, this should be a good incentive to finally jump in.
Other features of this patch, aside from various crash fixes, include a backup functionality for saves on the Epic Games Store version. This is in the event of cloud saves malfunctioning. An issue that caused the filter to rapidly discharge in the Sam’s Story DLC has also been fixed.

METRO EXODUS HOT FIX – 27 MAY 2020
- Removed Denuvo from Steam, Epic, Xbox PC Gamepass versions.
- Fixed the rapidly discharging filter issue in Sam’s Story on all platforms (extreme timer depletion in fog).
- This fixes the filter issue just after getting the boat from the humanimal hunter lair and proceeding into the fog beyond. Filters depleting quickly in the high rad zone near the sub base without the proper hazmat suit from the fire depot, is by design.
- Added save backup functionality for Epic version in case of cloud save malfunction.
- Browse to the default save folder to find a “.backup” folder.
- Fixed camera rotation issue with latest Nvidia Ansel update.
- Fixed various crashes.
