A dedicated Mac version of Metro: Last Light is now available via Steam, with development duties handled in-house by 4A Games.

The studio are also putting the finishing touches to a Linux version, scheduled for release a little later in the year.

Metro: Last Light on Steam supports Steam Play, meaning that owners of any Steam version will automatically find the game has been added to their PC, Mac and (ultimately) Linux Steam libraries.

Metro: Last Light for Mac and Linux will also receive the same DLC packages as the Windows PC and console versions. Mac players can already download Ranger Mode and the RPK, and the first two pieces of DLC from the Season pass - the Faction Pack and the Tower Pack. And of course, purchasing the Season Pass will grant access to the last two DLC's scheduled for release, the Developer Pack and the Chronicles Packs.
