Returnal Will Now Look Even Better
Housemarque has announced that Returnal has received a new update aimed at PS5 Pro. This update comes four years after the game was launched on PS5.
On PS5 Pro, the game will now feature 2.5X the pixels compared to the base PS5 game. This will help provide a ‘higher resolution experience’ for Returnal.
It is safe to say that Returnal was already a good-looking game on the PS5; it is also classed as one of the best titles to release on the PS5 console thus far.
After crash-landing on this shape-shifting world, Selene must search through the barren landscape of an ancient civilization for her escape. Isolated and alone, she finds herself fighting tooth and nail for survival. Again and again, she’s defeated – forced to restart her journey every time she dies.
Through relentless roguelike gameplay, you’ll discover that just as the planet changes with every cycle, so do the items at your disposal. Every loop offers new combinations, forcing you to push your boundaries and approach combat with a different strategy each time.
Brought to life by stunning visual effects, the dark beauty of the decaying world around you is packed with explosive surprises. From high stakes, bullet hell-fuelled combat, to visceral twists and turns through stark and contrasting environments. You’ll explore, discover and fight your way through an unforgiving journey, where mystery stalks your every move.
Designed for extreme replayability, the procedural world of Returnal invites you to dust yourself off in the face of defeat and take on new, evolving challenges with every rebirth.
At a State of Play earlier this year, Housemarque also lifted the lid on their next title, Saros.
Saros is an action title that tells the story of a lost off-world colony on a planet called Carcosa. Saros is due fo release on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro in 2026.
