Summary
- TechRadar reported live UK preorders October 13.
- The Collector’s Edition includes a wearable helmet.
- Deep Silver schedules release for February 4, 2027.
Orders begin
Metro 2039 preorders began appearing at UK retailers on October 13, according to TechRadar, which reported live listings at Smyths Toys, The Game Collection and Game. The launch includes Standard, Deluxe and Collector’s editions. The premium package features a wearable Spartan helmet, turning an item from the game’s world into a physical collectible. [1]
TechRadar’s listings showed different UK prices: £279.99 at Smyths for the PlayStation 5 Collector’s Edition, compared with £259.99 at Game. Some versions were already marked unavailable. Those observations are a dated retail snapshot, rather than a promise of stock or a single price across stores and territories. [1]
What the helmet represents
Deep Silver’s earlier collector announcement described the helmet as a replica created from the protagonist’s three-dimensional model. The publisher said the object reflects the stranger’s battered equipment, with scratches, dents and customization forming part of its appearance. Its hinged visor and integrated gas-mask design draw on the survival equipment associated with the Metro setting. [2]
The publisher said the replica would be exclusive to the Collector’s Edition and produced in limited quantities. Its announcement invited fans to register interest for ordering information. That earlier registration campaign should be distinguished from the retailer listings now reported by TechRadar: joining a mailing list did not itself secure a copy. [2] [1]
Release remains months away
Deep Silver’s release announcement schedules Metro 2039 for February 4, 2027, with February 5 availability in some territories including Asia, Australia and New Zealand. It also confirms a 60-frame-per-second performance mode with ray tracing for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro and Xbox Series X. These are publisher statements about the planned launch. [3]
The company describes the game as a story-focused first-person shooter and says its console footage was captured on PlayStation 5 Pro in performance mode. Preorders therefore precede the finished game’s release by several months. Retail availability of a collector’s package establishes an ordering opportunity, while the publisher’s announcement provides the separate timetable for playing it. [3]
