Returnal Receives Surprise PS5 Pro Support in New Patch

PS5 Pro players get a “higher resolution experience” with “2.5 times” the number of pixels, according to developer Housemarque.

To celebrate the fourth anniversary of its rogue-like third-person shooter Returnal, Housemarque has released a new patch adding PS5 Pro support. While it didn’t offer many specifics, the update ensures “2.5 times” the pixels on Sony’s enhanced console for a “higher resolution experience.”

Launched in April 2021 for PS5 before coming to PC in February 2023, Returnal is the story of Selene, whose ship crashlands on a mysterious planet called Atropos. As she investigates a signal known only as the “White Shadow,” she experiences surreal flashbacks to her life. Death isn’t an escape, fitting the rogue-like structure while influencing the narrative.

Returnal received extensive critical acclaim at launch for its combat, visuals, and plot, to say nothing of the incredible boss fights.
