Returnal Patch 1.3.4 Available Now on PS5, Fixes Nasty Save Errors
Update: Overnight, patch 1.3.4 for Returnal went live, which promises to fix the save-related issues the previous update introduced. So, just update your game to the latest version (the patch is roughly 1GB in size), and your progress will be a-okay — plus, you can enjoy the various bug fixes that 1.3.3 was intended to remedy. All good!
Original Story: Returnal patch 1.3.3 launched earlier today on PlayStation 5, promising a number of bug fixes and improvements. However, following the update's release, some players have been hit with game-breaking save data issues.
Our good friend Ben Potter posted on Twitter when a save-related problem made his game unplayable:
No Returnal for me tonight. Latest patch is reportedly corrupting saves and I’m getting this pop-up roughly every 10 seconds. Oops pic.twitter.com/KK2hkYftXO— Ben Potter (@Confused_Dude) May 5, 2021
Thankfully, developer Housemarque is already on the case. Patch 1.3.3 has since been pulled from PSN, meaning that if you don't already have it installed, you won't be able to download it.
Housemarque says that it's in the process of fixing the update, and that another patch will arrive "in a few hours". We'll update this article when that happens.
Patch 1.3.3 has been pulled and we are reverting back to 1.3.1 until it's fixed.

We are fixing the issue now and a new patch will be published in a few hours
All users affected by the 1.3.3 need to re-download the game.
Our sincerest apologies.
In the meantime, if you have downloaded patch 1.3.3 — again, released earlier today — then the developer recommends deleting Returnal and re-downloading it. That way, the game will only install previous updates, since 1.3.3 has been removed for the time being.
