Update: Yet further happenings on what is almost certainly a Returnal Steam listing. The listing is now showing additional information, pertaining to Steam Deck controller support.
ResetEra user Mocha Joe (via VGC) spotted the recent changes to the listing. These are the following:
- 8 depot/app changes on 7/11 UTC time
- 10 depot/app changes in the past 24 hours
- 6 depot/app changes on 7/9 UTC time
- External_ship got an update, the first time in 20 days (doesn’t happen often, but it’s an interesting coincidence)
- Steam deck controller profile
So, it really seems like it’s only a matter of time before Sony announces this. In other recent PlayStation-to-PC news, the company announced the features of the upcoming PC port of Spider-Man Remastered.
Original Story:
The Steam listing for something called “Oregon,” but what is obviously Returnal, keeps getting updates. Back in May, some traces of the game appeared on SteamDB.
Though Sony has yet to confirm that a PC port of the game is incoming, it seems pretty obvious. The listings back in May made mention of the Helios (heroine Selene’s ship) and of Atropos, the planet on which she is marooned.
Now, there have been a number of updates on the listing, and there has been mention of “Tower of Sisyphus.” That is a reference to the game’s recent D.L.C. It was called Returnal: Ascension, and it featured a new mode.
According to VGC, an anonymous source shared footage of the game running on PC. And it makes sense when you consider that Sony has talked about getting more games onto PC. And that the company acquired Nixxes Software expressly for that purpose.
Returnal was one of 2021’s best games. In a year that didn’t want for very good video games, it stood out for its atmosphere and its play.
