PC-Based Wide-Resolution Games

Housemarque and PlayStation Launch the Returnal Game

— January 18, 2023 — Tech
Sony is bringing the Returnal game to the PC, which was formerly only exclusive to PlayStation 5. It is made under Housemarque on the PC iteration and will be available on Steam and Epic Games Store beginning February 15th. The new PC iteration of the game has support for both AMD upscaling and for NVIDIA DLSS. It also incorporates NVIDIA's image-scaling technology as well.

The supported development of the game is done by Climax Studios with additional help that is added for ray-traced reflections that go hand in hand with the current RT shadows. The new Returnal game has two new wide-resolution formats on the PC platform -- the Ultrawide 21:9 and the Super Ultrawide 32:0. The audio is aided by Dolby Atmos with two three-dimensional audio options.
