Returnal Heading To PC On February 15th, PC Requirements Unveiled

Sony and House­mar­que have con­firmed that Retur­nal will be launch­ing on PC Feb­ru­ary 15th, giv­ing users on anoth­er plat­form a chance to explore the plan­et of Atro­pos. The devel­op­er also shared addi­tion­al details on what this ver­sion will contain.

Retur­nal on PC will sup­port Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, upscal­ing tech­nolo­gies that allow the user to increase the qual­i­ty of the game with­out com­pro­mis­ing on res­o­lu­tion. For those who don’t have an Nvidia card that sup­ports DLSS, Nvidia NIS has also been added.

The game will also sup­port two new wide-res­o­lu­tion for­mats, Ultra­w­ide at 21:9 and Super Ultra­w­ide 32:9. As far as audio goes, Dol­by Atmos, two 3D audio solu­tions, and sur­round sound for 5.1 and 7.1 can be tog­gled between.

In com­par­i­son to For­spo­ken’s crazy require­ments, Retur­nal’s are rather tame. You can check out all the require­ments below.
