Returnal was released in 2021. No published benchmark of Returnal is in our dataset yet, so every FPS figure on this page is an estimate. Steam lists NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) AMD Radeon RX 580 (8 GB) as the minimum graphics card, a mid-range card by today's standards.
Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Returnal, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
