Returnal receives patch, developer warns of automatic updates
Returnal receives patch
An average run in Returnal can take some time. Without the right memory option, players either have to play for a few hours at a time or put their PlayStation 5 into sleep mode. This turns off the console, but the current game remains open, allowing players to pick up exactly where they left off.Recommended Editorial Content This is where you will find external content from [PLATFORM].
