Returnals 2.0 Update added a feature to suspend their games. Players can create a suspend point, turn off their Playstation and go away, returning back to the exact point they left off when they return. The catch is that the suspend point is destroyed upon returning, so players will still be able to Absolutely Ruin their run if they aren’t careful in the next room. However, thanks to some Carful Exploiting of how the game works, players have discovered a way to save-scum through the game.
According to Joseph Yaden, Writer for Inverse, the System works by Suspending your save ingame, then uploading that save to the Playstation cloud. Then, when you die, you can Download the save and continue playing from where you left off.
Returnal is a Brutal roguelike, with Runs taking up to an hour to complete, so the Appeal of save scumming is clear… although Decidedly also not something to be encouraged in regards to the game.
It is also worth noting that Returnal won’t let you suspend during Boss fights, first person Sections or “intense Combat Scenarios, so this method won’t work for everything.
