On June 18, PS5 owners are set to get Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition, but PC gamers can enjoy the game with all the features of a DualSense controller right now thanks to the latest update.

As VGC reports, an update for the PC version of Metro Exodus was released last Friday by developer 4A Games which adds full support for the PS5's DualSense controller. It has been a controller option for the enhanced version of the game on PC since it launched, but without support for those adaptive triggers and haptic feedback capabilities. That changed late last week.

The enhanced version of the game launched on PC earlier this month and requires a graphics card capable of ray-tracing to play. 4A Games completely overhauled their game engine so as to take advantage of ray tracing, not only on PC, but for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. Now you can enjoy what was already a stunning game in updated form, but with a more immersive control option if you have a DualSense controller available.

VGC points out that it looks like the enhanced controller support only works in wired mode on PC, but hopefully support for a wireless mode is planned in the not too distant future. If you already own Metro Exodus, then the enhanced version is a free upgrade. Otherwise the standard edition of the game costs $39.99. A Gold Edition is also available for $64.98, which includes the DLC packs Sam's Story and The Two Colonels.
