About Returnal
Returnal brings its acclaimed roguelike action to PC with stunning graphical enhancements. Crash-land on the shape-shifting world of Atropos as Selene, a lone astronaut fighting for survival. Every death resets your journey, but the planet changes each cycle, offering new item combinations and strategic possibilities. This PC version includes the full base game plus the Tower of Sisyphus expansion from day one.
Experience intense third-person shooter combat with bullet-hell mechanics. Dodge relentless enemy attacks while unleashing powerful weaponry. The procedural world ensures high replayability, with each run presenting unique challenges and discoveries. Manage resources carefully, scavenge alien tech, and upgrade your abilities across cycles to push further into the mystery.
The PC release features a suite of performance-enhancing technologies including NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and ray-traced reflections and shadows. Play in stunning 4K resolution with support for ultrawide (21:9) and super ultrawide (32:9) aspect ratios. Five graphical presets and in-game performance metrics let you optimize your experience.
Dive into a haunting narrative as you piece together fragments of Selene's memories. Explore decaying alien environments filled with secrets and lore. The story unfolds through environmental storytelling, audio logs, and surreal house sequences. Forge a personal connection with the planet as you uncover the truth behind your endless cycle.
Returnal supports full co-op multiplayer, allowing you to share your journey with another PC player. Each player controls a different version of Selene from alternate cycles. Use the Chronosis device to summon a friend or match with a random player. The host's progress determines available items. Note that cross-play with PlayStation 5 is not supported, and co-op excludes Tower of Sisyphus and house sequences.
The Tower of Sisyphus offers an endless ascending gauntlet focused on pure combat. Climb as high as you can, building your score and unlocking exclusive items, Scout logs, and story fragments. This mode provides a new challenge for veterans seeking to test their skills. Combined with the base game's roguelike loop, Returnal delivers hundreds of hours of gripping gameplay.
