Leak reveals next PlayStation 5 exclusive coming to PC…

After much speculation and leaks, it appears that the next exclusive PlayStation 5 gaming title coming to the PC platform has been identified.

When updating the Steam platform data earlier this year, the term Oregon appeared, which was supposed to refer to the game Returnal for PlayStation 5. But today, the previous data has been replaced and updated so that the name of the game appears directly, as you can see in the image below.

With this clear evidence, other clues have continued to emerge over the past period, including the appearance of a video showing the game's settings and customization menu on the PC platform. The clip was leaked on the IconEra forums and posted to YouTube, which in turn deleted the video for copyright reasons, but we managed to get a screenshot of the game's deleted settings video, as you can see below.

We also recall that during the GDC Games Developer Show a few weeks ago, Finnish developer Housemarque showed an introductory video showing what the studio learned about particle effects during the development of Returnal.

Meanwhile, Digital Foundry's Alex Battaglia noted that the version shown at the event was the PC version of Returnal, though there has been no official confirmation or comment from Sony or Housemarque on this.

Perhaps the Steam platform update is the biggest indicator yet of the upcoming official announcement of the next Returnal game on PC, which we expect to happen in the coming days.

The payback game may seem to some like a normal arcade game, but once you experience it, you will know the meaning of shooting hell and shock when you know that the game does not support save points and the death of your character means returning to the starting point even if you have been playing for long hours.

This may be a fun challenge for some players, but many of them see it as a nightmare that stands between them and the enjoyment of the game, and since its release a few days ago, many have started asking the developers at Housemarque Studio to release an update that adds the ability to save your progress in the game.

The payback game is characterized by a roguelike style without support for any save point even after eliminating enemy leaders and the only solution if you want to rest or sleep while you are ahead for long hours in the game is to put the device in sleep mode or rest mode, which irritated a lot, especially since the game puts you in a difficult test to survive and maintain your progress for long hours, since it can be a wrong move that makes you go back to zero point.

Will you try Returnal again if it's already out on PC?
