Housemarque updates Returnal with PlayStation 5 Pro resolution patch
Sony Interactive Entertainment published science fiction roguelike title Returnal four years ago, on this date. Developer Housemarque has marked the occasion by releasing a higher resolution PlayStation 5 Pro update patch.

Players control Selene, a pilot who crash-lands on a protean alien planet stuck in a time loop. The third-person shooter's procedurally generated environments change unpredictably with each new cycle, making every playthrough unique.

Returnal is also available for Windows through Steam and the Epic Games Store, including the "Ascension" update's labyrinth of Atropos co-op mode and The Tower of Sisyphus. Music for the game is by Bobby Krlic, composer on the horror film "Midsommar." The digital soundtrack is streaming onApple Music., Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited.


From the product page:
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 fast, relentless 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, empowering 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 jaw-dropping twists and turns set across 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.
