Returnal’s PS5 Pro Upgrade: A Resolution Boost That’s More Than Welcome
Housemarque marks its anniversary with a free PS5 Pro upgrade for Returnal, delivering a much-needed 2.5x resolution boost and improved performance. While the base game had its quirks, this update feels like a wonderful surprise. The dynamic scaling ensures Pro users get a sharper experience without leaving others in the dark. Kudos to Housemarque for addressing the traversal stutter issues, though some core mechanics still feel clunky. All in all, it’s a solid quality-of-life update that keeps the game’s charismatic DNA intact. If you’re into pixel-art metroidvanias, this might just be the push you needed to revisit or pick up for the first time.
