help Returnal FAQ
What is the basic loop in Returnal?
Returnal follows Selene Vassos, an astronaut trapped on the alien planet Atropos, where death restarts the cycle. Each run reshuffles rooms, weapons, parasites, and upgrades while some story and traversal progress remains permanent.
Can you save during a Returnal run?
Returnal added a Suspend Cycle feature after launch, letting players pause a run and resume later. It is not a traditional manual save system because loading the suspend point consumes it.
What platforms is Returnal on?
Returnal launched for PlayStation 5 in 2021 from Housemarque and Sony. A PC version followed in 2023, bringing the game to Windows with features such as ultrawide support and PC graphics options.
What did the Ascension update add to Returnal?
The Ascension update added campaign co-op and the Tower of Sisyphus challenge mode. That 2022 update gave experienced players a score-attack structure beyond the main Atropos campaign.
