Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition: Steam Deck Hardware RT Preview

Thank you for supporting Digital Foundry! Metro Exodus on Steam Deck here is running with a 720p output with 0.7 resolution scaling, at medium settings with all other options (tessellation, HairWorks etc) disabled. Tested on Windows 10.
