Developer 4A Games’ Metro Exodus was one of the most anticipated shooters of 2019, and while its critical reception didn’t quite hit the highs of its predecessors it has proved extremely popular nonetheless. This week, The Embracer Group, publisher Silver Games’ parent company, has revealed the game has sold a whopping 6 million units since its launch.
It’s the first sales update we’ve had in quite some time. Metro Exodus sold 200,000 copies over its first 5 days on the market in 2019.
The news comes by way of a Tweet:

Twinfinite reviewed Metro Exodus in 2019 and was thoroughly impressed, scoring the game 4/5 and concluding:
“The survival horror tropes, linear moments, and emphasis on atmosphere haven’t been lost, but Exodus proves that Metro can be much more than a journey through dark and decaying tunnels.”
For those who haven’t played the game but are interested in trying it on their PS5/Xbox Series X|S consoles, Metro Exodus has since received a free update for next-generation hardware. There’s also an Enhanced Edition for PC.
