Returnal PS5 PlayStation

Rumours of a PC port of Housemarque's excellent Sisyphean opus, Returnal, are, fittingly enough, neverending. We've reported previously that the PlayStation console exclusive looked like it was headed for a PC release after SteamDB listings were uncovered. Still, the latest indication comes to us from GDC 2022, of all places.

Housemarque gave a presentation at GDC entitled "Can We Do It with Particles?: VFX Learnings from Returnal", which is worth a watch in its own right, if you are technically minded. Alexander Battaglia, of Digital Foundry, notes that the game is clearly running on PC, as evidenced by the debug readout information that briefly appears here.

A PC port of Returnal seems undeniable at this point. Remember, we first got wind of it with the infamous NVIDIA leak last year, and with so many of those titles having since been announced, and in some cases released, it makes us wonder why an official announcement hasn't been made already.

What do you think of a PC port of Returnal? Would you double dip, and experience the nightmare of Atropos all over again? Repeat your mistakes in the comments section below.
