Developer Housemarque announced some time ago that Returnal was coming to PC but there was no release date for the roguelike first-person shooter. So far, the game has been only available on PlayStation consoles but all the fans will be able to take advantage of the superior capability of the PC in terms of graphics very soon. Sony has confirmed in a publication on the PlayStation blog that Returnal will release on PC next February 15th. The announcement has been accompanied by a new video focused on the enhanced graphics features that Returnal will have on the platform.
