Returnal, One of This Gen’s Best Games, Gets a Massive PS5 Pro Upgrade

In a surprising move, Returnal – one of the standout games from this console generation – has been upgraded for PlayStation 5 Pro as a way to mark its fourth anniversary.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that the timeless Housemarque roguelike masterpiece has received an upgrade! On Sony’s enhanced platform, you’ll find up to 2.5 times more dazzling pixels than the standard version, elevating your gaming experience like never before!

The initial game employed several clever techniques to enhance its visual clarity without sacrificing speed. It leveraged temporal reconstruction to achieve a 1440p resolution and subsequently applied checkerboarding to reach 4K.

It seems like there will be quite a bit of experimentation needed to fully grasp the techniques Housemarque is employing on the PS5 Pro, yet it’s expected that this process will lead to a more defined and polished visual output in total.

The Finnish team’s PS5 Pro compatibility in their upcoming Saros is likely to fare extremely well, promising a visually stunning experience on the enhanced hardware.

After conducting our own tests and gathering insights from trusted experts such as Digital Foundry, we’ll provide you with additional details.

In the interim, the update is being released right away, so don’t forget to try it out if you own a PlayStation 5 Pro.
