    Perfect, thanks. The notice on that page may explain why it's so hard to find this weirdly:
    Notice: At the request of the publisher, Metro: Last Light Complete Edition is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search.

    There is a far far far far far better way to do this (usually ) and it's one I discovered myself whilst searching Google Play Store >

    This is my go to app now for game freebies, ignore the fact that it has Epic in the title, this is to get people searching for Epic (as I was) to find the app accidentally. This app is bloody marvelous >

    Epic Freebie Games Radar (don't be fooled by the word Epic, it covers multiple platforms)

    play.google.com/sto…=US

    It is ONE location that tells you free games for Indie Gala, Epic, Steam, Gog, Fanatical. Free to Play weekend games and a subscription section which tells you about free Amazon games essentially.

    Also it will remind you when the games are released using Android notifications. No one else mentions this app but me it seems, but I use it all the time. I know all the deals will be on HotUKDeals too, so it prompts me to come and look at the discussion on any interesting games. It is a WIN WIN situation. I found it completely by accident and one of the best app discoveries I've ever found.

    I have no idea if there's an iOS / iPadOS version, I have never looked but if you have Android this app is a complete no brainer.

    One last important thing to mention is this app also tells you about future freebie releases same as these deals do. (edited)

    More specifically 10am Pacific time. There's often some slippage between when daylight saving time starts or stops here and there. Same goes for Microsoft updates like Patch Tuesday. Essentially, many tech services are timed according to what time it is in Silicon Valley.

    Steam usually starts deals at 4 or 6PM (I assume its to do with a US time zone) so check back then

    Stupid question alert - Do you need to actually download and install it to keep it?
    For a limited time, install now and keep it forever

    I've claimed it with the message below, but don't have Steam installed (yet).
    Metro: Last Light Complete Edition is now registered to your account on Steam.

    I've had Xbox live gold since time immemorial. Nephew loses interest by the time he's found a game when scrolling through all the games I have available. I think I've only ever played three, but ye God's, I have an obscene amount. (And have no intention of slowing down!)
    Free free free!! Gimme gimme gimme!!

    Woo hoo! Stack up these games definitely. Finally got round to playing my freebie Death Stranding (directors edition ) from Epic. I have quite a collection amassing. Bloody big downloads for stuff though. Things are so much less faff on consoles, however I shall persevere with my SD and continue moaning about freebies on a thoroughly ace system - SD

    EDIT 18/05 - They put the old de-listed version back on Steam for this giveaway. Odd, but free
    ==========
    I wonder why they have called it Metro Last Light Complete Edition, when I think the only version currently on store fronts is called Metro Last Light Redux.

    Metro Last Light Redux (2014) is a re-release of Metro Last Light (2013), plus the DLC and an engine upgrade. It is essentially the Complete Edition, but isn't called Complete Edition. Plus the original 2013 version got delisted along with the original Metro 2033 when the Redux versions were released to drive sales onto the new versions.

    So odd for a 10 year anniversary they wouldn't refer to it as Redux, which it has been called for 9 of those 10 years. (edited)

    Why would I need Steam when Epic already gives me more games than I could ever play, and are worth playing?

    Just carry on with Epic then? Why even comment?

    I'm sure I'm not the first for this to happen to but thought I'd share it ....

    So I see this when it's posted, so I plan ahead so as not to forget and place a reminder in my phone.
    I checked midnight, nothing, then see people saying 6pm UK time for live.

    Just logged in, searched and saw it for free. Yes, finally!
    Went into it to add to basket and what do I see? The button says ..........play!

    I've only already got it and not played it since 2014! So I'm currently reinstalling it lol.

    Thanks OP.

    So what's the difference between this and the redux? Is the redux a improved gfx version? Thanks (edited)

    For Metro 2033 I think it included a graphical upgrade moving to a new game engine, but for Last Light I think it was some smaller tweaks, plus some additional game modes - Spartan, Survival and Ranger mode - essentially harder ways to play the game.
