Freelance games writer Joseph Yaden shared on Twitter the way you can use this on Twitter. You start by suspending your run in-game, then upload your Returnal save file to the cloud. Then when you die, just download the save before a new one overwriting your suspended save state gets uploaded.
— Joseph Yaden (@JosephYaden) October 31, 2021 Obviously, this is a workaround that involves the abuse of a feature that keeps you from burning away progress when you have to step away from your PS5. It’s not a feature that many roguelikes or roguelites have, so props to Returnal for including it. But as with all things, people find a way to make use of things that’s outside of their intended use. On that note, it’s unlikely that the developers at Housemarque will patch this out. After all, why should they? If someone has already paid for Returnal, then they should have the choice of either experiencing the game as the devs intended or ruining it for themselves. Just like people should be allowed to surrender their gamer card and slow down a boss in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. (Source: @JosephYaden / Twitter via VGC, PlayStation, PC Gamer)
