Metro 2039 launches on 4 February 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, all on the same day, according to 4A Games and Deep Silver as of 13 November 2026. In some territories, including Asia, Australia and New Zealand, it arrives a day later on 5 February 2027. Below you’ll find the launch time listed by PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, where you can buy the game, what it costs and how the date was narrowed down over the year.
When Metro 2039 launches
Metro 2039 is a story-driven single-player FPS developed by 4A Games and published by Deep Silver. The exact date was announced on 3 September 2026 during PlayStation’s State of Play, where the studio also showed its first console footage, captured on a PS5 Pro.
The same date now appears on the official site metro2039.com, the Steam page, PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. It’s a simultaneous release, so neither PC nor any console gets a head start. The only exception is a handful of territories, Asia, Australia and New Zealand among them, where the game unlocks on 5 February instead.
Launch time: what PS Store and Xbox Store list
Neither 4A Games nor Deep Silver has mentioned a launch time in their announcements. The stores have one, though. The PlayStation Store (Czech region) and the Xbox Store both list 4 February 2027 at 16:00 UTC, which is 17:00 CET. On Xbox and the Microsoft Store for PC, that time applies to both the base game and the Deluxe Edition.
Steam doesn’t show a launch time yet, only the date. We’ll update this guide as soon as it does.

Metro 2039 is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. On PC you can buy it on Steam, the Epic Games Store or the Microsoft Store through the Xbox app.
