To celebrate its 10th anniversary, 4A Games is letting anyone play its seminal sequel, Metro: Last Light, for free on Steam between May 18-25.
Metro: Last Light directly follows the game series’ debut, Metro 2033, continuing the story of Artyom and his fight for survival in the harrowing tunnels beneath a post-apocalyptic Russian metropolis. The sequel honed the mechanics of the first, retaining the tough-as-nails first-person action while improving it with polished gunplay and less-obscure mechanics. It’s a game that looked fantastic when it launched and will still turn heads today.
Immerse yourself in the year 2034 – you are the last light in the darkest hour.
To celebrate Metro: Last Light’s 10th Anniversary, the original Complete Edition of the 2013 game will be available for free on @Steam from 18-25 May.

If you’ve never had the chance to enjoy Metro: Last Light or have just let it slip into your backlog for over a decade, you can make up for that by playing one of the best shooters of the last generation for free on Steam. All you’ll need to give up is a little internet bandwidth and some hard drive space and ensure that you finish up before May 25. Or you could just purchase it outright afterwards if you’re having a good time, which will be highly likely.
