Climax Studios and Housemarque have released the first PC update for Returnal since it was launched on 15 February 2023. The patch is 1.3GB and fixes a number of issues that plagued the game.

The developers have also confirmed that they are working on a performance patch that will be released sometime in the future. That one will probably include a fix for displaying the game at 3840×1600 resolution correctly.

Check out the patch notes (via Steam) below:

• Fix for rare issue with music stopping during Biome entry
• Fix for certain Ultrawide monitor setups not being detected in Full Screen
• Fix for incorrectly detecting the Windows resolution on first boot
• Fix for grass draw distance on Epic Particle settings
• Fix for PSN Sign in time outs
• Fix for Benchmark results rounding error
