　　The Ranger Update also comes with a fourth controller sensitivity preset, platform-specific improvements and additions (such as "mouse and keyboard support for Xbox One, improved RTX and DLSS support on PC, DualShock Controller Light support for PS4"), addresses numerous bugs and crashes, and adds full Ukrainian localization.

　　In order to access New Game Plus, you must finish the main campaign at least once; the mode will then become available in the New Game menu. One thing to note: starting a new game, in either Regular or New Game Plus, will clear all saves (quick/auto/chapter select), meaning you'll need to progress through the game again to access those levels. You can view the full additions that come with New Game Plus below. You can also view the full patch notes for PC here or for consoles here.

　　In our Metro Exodus review, we said the game "puts together a charismatic crew of friends and family that you'll want to follow to the ends of the earth."

　　Metro Exodus is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
