Roguelike third-person shooter Returnal will be the next big Sony exclusive to make the jump to PC, based on back-end Steam data surfaced on SteamDB. Found buried in a mystery Steam listing is various tags that reference the game and one specifically about the “Tower of Sisyphus” – Returnal’s major DLC.
You can see all the data yourself on SteamDB, in an entry for a program titled Oregon. In-development games, particularly unannounced ones, will often use codenames like this for their listings so that everyone who has access knows what it is, but data-mining such as this can’t pull anything of note. That is, of course, until you update the listing with any identifiable elements – pictures, tags, access tokens, etc.
This comes after the news this morning that Sony is expecting heavy investment and returns on PC games after the big successes of previous releases, especially Horizon: Zero Dawn. There’s no reason to believe Returnal won’t do incredibly well on PC given its high-intensity gameplay, roguelike structure, and shooter elements.
