Metro: Last Light out now on Linux

Deep Silver has finally released the Linux version of one of this year’s best shooters, Metro: Last Light. Like any other PC version of the game, it is available through digital distribution platform Steam. It also supports Steam Play, which means that you won’t have to buy it again if you already picked it up for Mac or Windows.

Dveloper 4A Games has stated that it will be getting future support for Steam OS and the Steam Controller when they are launched. The company has also announced that the 300 Steam users chosen to get prototype Steam Machines will find a copy of the game pre-installed on the hardware.
