Unless you want to lose your returnal progress…

PSA: #Returnal patch and patch notes will go live tomorrow (May 5) at noon PST, 7pm GMT.

As you know, Returnal is a rogue-like game that gives players a gameplay that requires them to progress from a new round every time they die. Tours can take several hours, so if you download the new update, you will lose your progress on the current tour. To do this, you will need to disable the automatic update installation feature of your PlayStation 5 device. Since the game needs to close for the update to be installed and there is no registration system, you will lose your progress in the current round when your game closes. Players have previously made a number of recommendations to the developer.
Of course, developer Housemarque had heard these complaints and suggestions but had not taken any action. Since the game is a rogue-like production, we can say that it is normal that it does not have any recording system in it. In a Twitter post, they said:
“We hear about the community and love you all. There’s nothing to announce yet, but keep playing and enjoying the challenge as much as you can!”
Returnal was released exclusively to the PlayStation 5 platform last week. In our review, we stated that “An action game that combines metroidvania and rogue-like genres and uses elements of fear as spices in it”. If you haven’t read it yet and are curious about the details of the game, you can also find our review from the link below.
Let’s repeat the warning about the update for the game, which will be released tonight. If your PS5 device’s automatic update download feature is enabled, you can temporarily disable it so as not to lose your progress on the current tour, downloading and installing it after death without starting a new round.
