Metro Redux Games for Linux & SteamOS

Publisher Deep Silver and developer 4A Games announce the release of Linux and SteamOS versions of Metro: Last Light Redux and Metro 2033 Redux, saying these "set a new technical benchmark for native Linux videogaming." They are available on Steam where each is on sale for half-off, as is the Metro Redux Bundle. They also take the opportunity to provide an update on the OS X edition, saying it's due later this month. "Thanks to huge advances in driver support, the Metro Redux titles were developed for Linux using OpenGL 4.0," said Oles Shishkovstov, chief technical officer at 4a Games. "This has allowed us to deliver an experience that rivals the DX11 version for Windows in terms of graphical fidelity and performance - something that was just not possible when we ported the original Metro: Last Light to Linux a year ago." Finally, they offer Linux system specs:

Minimum:
OS: 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 or Steam OS
Processor: Intel Core i5 2.7 GHz (or equivalent AMD)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA Geforce 460 / AMD 5850 with 2GB VRAM
