sony Return may be coming to PC, if a recent SteamDB entry is any indication. The entry, first noticed by Video Game Chronicle, is for a game named Oregon, but there are plenty of indications that it could be the PlayStation 5-exclusive roguelike.
The simplest clues come from the game beacons that SteamDB lists for Oregon. There are things like “roguelike”, “bullet hell”, “third person shooter” and “sci-fi”. But many games could fit that bill. However, the game’s update history on SteamDB paints a slightly more compelling picture. On this page are mentions of the Tower of Sisyphus, Returnendless mode and Atropos, the name of the game’s main planet.
While Return Currently remaining a PlayStation exclusive, Sony has spent the past few years moving its early games to PC. The move started with Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam in August 2020, and continued with games like God of the war, Days goneetc Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
With all of these games already on Steam, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Return join their ranks. For now, however, this remains unconfirmed until Sony releases official word of a PC version. Polygon contacted Sony about the listing and did not hear back before publication.
