Returnal is a 2021 roguelike video game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 5 on April 30, 2021 and Windows on February 15, 2023. The game follows Selene Vassos, an astronaut who lands on the planet Atropos in search of the mysterious “White Shadow” signal and finds herself trapped in a time loop. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 4. We test using the Epic preset with ray tracing disabled, DX12 API.

Returnal is an interesting one as it's the first game so far where the 7600 XT is actually slower than the RTX 4060 at 1080p. Not by much, but it is 5% behind, and still barely ahead of the 7600.

It's a very similar situation at 1440p too, with the 7600 XT just a touch ahead of the 7600, but still behind the RX 4060 by a 5% margin, while it's also 16% slower than the 6700 XT.
