Looking at these numbers, we can see that the Metro series has always been decently popular between 2019 and 2022, as that is when their popularity peaked and then slowly started falling off because they are single-player games and have little rewatch value. Despite this, it is nice to see the series prosper even today.

To sum up

Alright! That’s all of the information we managed to scrounge up from the deep, dark caverns of the Metro! As you can see, the games have always been smash hits whenever they were released and they continued to stay relevant, even in the growing competitive atmosphere of the gaming industry today. Metro Exodus is away and afar the most popular of the series, and it has really represented the idea of the Metro brilliantly, deserving of the top spot. We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed this and that all of your questions have been answered!
