Returnal Update 2.0 is being rolled out today for Sony’s next-gen console, adding a highly demanded new feature to the game alongside a photo mode.
Housemarque’s PlayStation 5 title is by no means an easy game, and ever since its release back in April of this year, players have been asking for a save option. While not directly a save option, today’s update does introduce a feature that allows players to pause their current cycle in order to continue a run later on.
As said, the new 2.0 update also adds a new photo mode to the game, and includes various quality-of-life improvements alongside bug fixes. You’ll find the official release notes, as supplied by Housemarque, down below.
