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, Epic ray traced shadows and reflections, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Returnal performs significantly better and is a genuinely good experience with maxed out ray tracing at 1080p. It only utilises two RT effects – shadows and reflections – but hitting nearly 60fps on average is a very solid result for the B570 given it's about level with the RTX 4060.
