Saros is a GOTY Contender
Published Mar 31, 2026 • Duration: 06:02
The Saros previews are in, and the word "glowing" might be an understatement. From being a legitimate Game of the Year contender to running at a locked 4K/60fps on the base PS5, Housemarque seems to have another masterpiece on their hands. But is it just "Returnal 2.0," or something much more approachable?
In today’s video, I’m breaking down everything we just learned from the latest Saros previews. We’re talking:
The Hades Influence: How the new central hub and NPC story progression fixes the "isolation" and "progression" issues some had with Returnal.
Weapon Archetypes: Why the new Tactical vs. Smart rifle system is a gamechanger for build variety.
Tech Specs: How Housemarque is coding to the metal to achieve 4K/60 on base hardware (and why this proves the value of exclusives).
The PC Port Drama: Addressing the Jason Schreier Bloomberg report and why the "PS5 Launch" wording has everyone on "copium."
As many of you know, Returnal is my only Platinum trophy and I've put 200+ hours into mastering every perk. I’m diving deep into how Saros iterates on that formula while making the "meta-progression" more visible and impactful.
I’m pushing to get on Housemarque’s radar for early review access to give you guys the most expert breakdown possible at launch. You can help me out! Head over to Twitter/X and let @Housemarque know about our Returnal community here and our 100% weapon perk guides
