If you ever missed Returnalwhich was clearly not the case for Gamekult readers who made it their game of the year 2021, remember that Housemarque’s game took the studio to a new dimension by applying its talents for action frantic in the service of a formula roguelike as elegant as it is diabolical. Only playable solo when it was launched, the game also has a cooperative mode with a free update.

Already excellent technically on PS5, Returnal now shows off the muscles by unboxing its chart of configurations that you can find on the PlayStation-Blogbut be aware before you even click that an RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 6800 XT card and 32 GB of DDR4 memory will be politely requested to access the quintessential “Epic” of the game’s graphics settings, the PC output of which is rendered possible thanks to Climax Studios.
NVIDIA (with its DLSS) and AMD (with its FSR) are both involved in the optimization of the game via these oversampling technologies which will improve fluidity without compromising on image quality. More accessible for modest configurations, the technology NVIDIA Image Scaling is also in the game and should do good for performance. For those who like to enjoy life in large widths, Returnal on PC supports Ultrawide 21:9 and Super Ultrawide 32:9.
On the sound side, and God knows it’s important on Atropos, the presence of Dolby Atmos, two 3D audio solutions and 5.1 or 7.1 multichannel sound will help to better distinguish the origin of threats in space. Finally, to be sure to find the sensations of the PS5, the port will also be compatible with the DualSense controller, which includes haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, but keyboard and mouse purists are also tolerated.
