Sony confirmed in December 2022 that the previously-PS5 exclusive Returnal (opens in new tab) would be released for PC in early 2023, and it wasn’t kidding: Today it announced that the sci-fi roguelike will finally come our way on February 15.
The Returnal launch date comes alongside more information about a range of PC-specific features (opens in new tab) that have been added to the game, including support for Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, and Nvidia Image Scaling. Returnal on PC will also support ray traced reflections (the original PS5 version that released in 2021 only supports ray traced shadows), and 21:9 (ultrawide) and 32:9 (super ultrawide) display resolutions. Controllers are recommended but keyboard and mouse are fully supported, „with a wide range of customisation options to tailor the controls to whatever suits you.“
The most interesting part of the announcement—aside from the launch date—has to be the updated system requirements. We got our first look at the PC requirements in December 2022 courtesy of Steam, and they were an eye-popper: The recommended spec called for, among other things, 32GB RAM (opens in new tab).
