We think the decision to remove the game is unfair to Steam customers, especially after a long pre-sale period. The developer and publisher have assured us that all prior sales of the game on Steam will be fulfilled on Steam, and Steam owners will be able to access the game and any future updates or DLC through Steam. “Later today, sales of Metro Exodus will be discontinued on Steam due to a publisher decision to make the game exclusive to another PC store. As of writing, Metro Exodus is still available for purchase on Steam, but the following statement has been posted above the pre-order options: Metro Exodus has been available for purchase on digital storefronts, including Steam, for some time, and Epic clarified that pre-orders of the game made on other platforms will still be honored. “We are partnering with Deep Silver to launch Metro Exodus, underpinned by Epic’s marketing support and commitment to offering an 88% revenue split, enabling game creators to further reinvest in building great games and improving the economics of game stores for everybody.” “ Metro Exodus is amazing and is deservedly one of the most anticipated PC titles of 2019,” Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said in a statement. Earlier this month, Ubisoft announced that The Division 2 would launch on the Epic Games Store in March alongside its Uplay release. Since launching in December 2018, Epic Games has touted its 88/12 revenue split to lure over developers from its competitotrs. Metro Exodus, which is set for release on February 15, is the latest coup for Epic Games’ slowly expanding storefront. By teaming up with Epic we will be able to invest more into the future of Metro and our ongoing partnership with series developer 4A Games, to the benefit of our Metro fans.” “Epic’s generous revenue terms are a game changer that will allow publishers to invest more into content creation, or pass on savings to the players. “We are delighted to partner with Epic to bring the digital PC version of Metro Exodus to market,” Kundratitz said in a press release.
