Metro 2033 is now available to pre-load from Steam, meaning that you’ll essentially have the entire full game sitting on your PC waiting to be played. The problem is that you’ll still be doing the waiting as you can’t play it until release.

Make sure if you have pre-ordered the title that you do set the pre-load off otherwise you’ll only have to wait longer once release day does actually come.

Metro 2033 is released on March 16 for Xbox 360 and PC.
