Look that one is a fishbowl, but there are times when one wants to wrap the blanket around his head and stop complicating life. Why am I going to update my computer to try to enjoy a title like returnable in 4K and 60 frames per second if I have a PlayStation 5 on the market that already does it for an extraordinarily lower price? Given the requirements that Sony’s game asks for on PC, do you think you’ll have to do something like that?
Requirements and release date
We knew for a few weeks now that returnable It was going to be the last Sony exclusive in walking the path between the PlayStation ecosystem and computers. Now, unlike almost all we’ve had so far (god of war, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4etc.) is next to Spider-Man Miles Morales the only one that did it from the shore of PS5 and the new generation, so we wanted to check what hardware we were going to need to enjoy a 4K/60fps show similar to that of the consoles.
And the answer has not been long in coming because Sony has made public two important data around the launch of returnable on PC: on the one hand, the release date, which has been set for February 15, and on the other, the technical requirements to enjoy it at different resolutions. From the most basic 720p (Steam Deck, for example), to the highest 4K through 1080p in different medium and high quality alternatives. Also, you can buy a return invoice to get more fun out of this game.
Be that as it may, here are the things in terms of technical requirements for PC:

Things haven’t gotten too out of hand and with very little that you invest in the PC, you can still consider playing it in 4K. Not?
