Epic Games at the GDC 2019 exhibition, which is taking place right now in San Francisco, managed to surprise everyone with its performance yesterday. Look at the announcements of Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human, and Beyond: Two Souls as PC-exclusives on the Epic Games Store. At the event, the head of the Epic Games Store, Steve Allison (Steve Allison) touched on the success of Metro Exodus.
According to the director, 4A Games' new game sold 2,5x better than Metro: Last Light on Steam. At the same time, he expressed his respect for the previous part of the series: βMetro: Last Light has achieved great success. That is why we are always talking about games, and not the stores in which they are sold.
It is curious that Steve Ellison did not name specific indicators, but noted that the comparison took into account data for the same period. According to SteamSpy, Metro: Last Light has been bought by two to five million users over the years.
As a reminder, the sudden move of 4A Games to the Epic Games Store was accompanied by great dissatisfaction among fans. They bombarded previous Metro titles on Steam with negative reviews. Metro Exodus was released on February 15, 2019 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. On Metacritic (PC), the game has a critical score of 83 after 51 reviews. Users rated 6,8 points out of 10, 2696 people voted.
