Returnal will be released on 15.2. for PC - Presentation of PC features in video, system requirements

The roguelike shooter Returnal, which only console players have been able to play will no longer be exclusive to PlayStation platform. We need to wait until February 15, when the improved PC version is released. Now a video shows the advantages of the new version and the system requirements have also been confirmed.

Returnal is an award-winning, hard-hitting third-person shooter developed by Housemarque and distributed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game was released exclusively for the PlayStation 5 on April 19, 2021, and it's nice to see that exclusivity is now over. Because you can play Returnal on the PC from February 15, 2023. It's only logical that our PC version comes with additional features. Sony presents them to you in this video.

Special PC features from Returnal

Your PC can do (almost) everything the PS5 can do - and of course usually much more. More flexible options in the settings, for example. The advantages of Returnal for PC include:

• Image adjustments: Nvidia DLSS, Nvidia Image Scaling (NIS), AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR).
• Widescreen support: Ultrawide, Super Ultrawide, Field of View settings
• Raytracing: Shadows and reflections
• Sound design: Dolby Atmos support for optimal surround sound and better enemy location
• Controller support: PS5 DualSense controller support

This is what Returnal is about

In Returnal, you are Selene, an astronaut stranded on an alien planet after a crash landing. She must fight her way through unpredictable and deadly environmental conditions and battle alien creatures to save herself. The game has a roguelike gameplay, in which you'll start over every time you die, and the environments and enemies will be regenerated each time.

In Returnal, the bosses respawn on demand after you have killed them. However, each time you go through the game or through an area, you'll get new weapons, equipment and abilities that you can use to fight bosses more effectively. Returnal has impressive graphics and also shines with a very audible, atmospheric soundscape. Complex weapon and equipment systems that allow you to adjust your playstyle and learn new abilities will significantly determine your progress in the game.

These are the system requirements of Returnal for PC.

No question, Returnal offers state-of-the-art graphics. And this is reflected in the requirements.
