New PlayStation 5 Exclusive - Returnal is able to give you a huge range of emotions from rage to tears of happiness. This is the first major release on a new console since the remake.Demon's Souls , when the game was originally planned for a new generation of devices. However, in recent years, Sony's policy regarding its own exclusives has been mixed. In this post, we'll take a look at whether Returnal will be released on other platforms.

Many PlayStation 4 exclusives have recently been released on PC, so the question of continuing this trend seems quite logical. However, it is worth noting that in all cases it took a long time before Sony games were ported. Is the sameDays Gone was released in April 2019, and only appeared on PC in 2021.

So Returnal won't be coming to PC anytime soon. It is important to understand that Sony is now interested in promoting a new console that has very few games so far. Returnal makes the most of the graphics capabilities of the PlayStation 5 and especially DualSense.

As for the Microsoft console, the answer is more straightforward. Returnal was developed by studio Housemarque. None of her games such asResogun andNex Machina never came to Xbox.

Sony does not own Housemarque, but the companies have a long-standing working relationship. Usually Housemarque games remain exclusive to PlayStation consoles and there have been no exceptions yet.

Much to the regret of many, the version of the release of the game on the console of the previous generation is even less likely than on the PC. As already mentioned, Returnal takes full advantage of all the main features of the PlayStation 5, such as fast downloads, or specific vibration and trigger action. Given the humble start of the new generation, it is unlikely that Sony would want to strip its triple-hey project of its distinctive features in favor of the old console.

Despite the fact that a lot of projects have been ported to the Switch lately, the console's performance is rather weak by modern standards. According to rumors, Nintendo is actively working on a new version of the device, but there is still no release date. In addition, Switch has always been positioned as a portable console on the road, and with the new PlayStation or Xbox, it certainly does not compete. Even if the possibility of a port appeared in theory, it is unlikely that the developers would agree to simplify the technical component of Returnal so much.

Returnal is not for everyone. A game for true connoisseurs of hardcore, who love to achieve their goal through pain, sweat and tears, can scare away those who like to play another evening after work. But this is still a PlayStation 5 exclusive. If you want to showcase all the features of the console - this is the first project that gives a complete understanding of the gamepad and performance. Neither Demon's Souls norMarvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales didn't do that. Even if in a couple of years the game will still be released on other platforms, you will get the greatest impression on the console from Sony.
