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 shows more competitive performance from the 7900 GRE, as at 1440p it is a hair faster than the RTX 4070 Super and not too far behind the 4070 Ti.
Stepping up to 4K also remains viable with an average of 54FPS, and this makes it 13% faster than the 7800 XT, which is the biggest different we saw across our rasterised benchmarks.
