《死亡迴歸（Returnal）》似乎是索尼迄今為止PC版成績最差的遊戲之一。根據SteamDB的數據，這款roguelike射擊遊戲在發售的首個週末Steam上的同時在線玩家人數不足7000人。相比之下，索尼最近的PC遊戲中唯一表現較差的遊戲是《麻布仔大冒險》，它的峰值在線玩家數僅為610。
《死亡迴歸》PC版於本週早些時候發售。值得注意的是，雖然《死亡迴歸》首次亮相就受到了強烈好評，並在發佈後的一年內獲得了多個行業獎項，但它的IP規模遠小於《戰神》或《蜘蛛俠》，這或許是其PC版本表現不佳的原因之一。
到目前為止，即使是PlayStation旗下一些較大的IP似乎也未能在PC上引起轟動，例如《神秘海域：盜賊遺產》在首發週末的在線玩家峰值同樣低至10851，儘管這也是索尼旗下的一個大IP。
Returnal is the latest PlayStation title to launch on PC, and so far Housemarque's game has been off to a pretty slow start on the platform. According to stats, Returnal is now one of the worst performing PC ports from PlayStation in terms of player numbers on Steam. Returnal launched on February 15, and so far has failed to attract as many players as you'd expect from a Sony's former exclusive. According to SteamDB, Returnal's concurrent player numbers peaked at only slightly above 6,600 simultaneous players on Saturday, and it is unlikely the title will surpass that number anytime soon. This puts the recent roguelike-shooter in the second-to-last position among all PC ports from PlayStation, surpassing only Sackboy: A Big Adventure.

However, that's not unusual for the publisher to release titles with notably smaller figures, like Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection back in October. The bundle amassed 10,851 simultaneous players at launch. The reason behind such an unimpressive performance for Returnal might as well be quite the busy gaming slate that is not uncommon during this season of the year. That same week, for example, Wild Hearts released across the console and PC, with a peak of 28,511 players. And that's despite all the technical issues Koei Tecmo's title has been facing ever since. On the other hand, Returnal's is getting much higher scores from players, as this port isn't suffering from performance issues like Wild Hearts. Another possible reason is that Returnal belongs to a rather niche genre, and is not your typical third-person cinematic action game Sony is known for. Housemarque's project is an unforgiving roguelike experience, that demands high skill from its players - even if it's easier to control with a mouse and keyboard. In addition, Returnal is a new IP that hit the market only a couple of years ago, so it is simply unfair to compare it with God of War or even Uncharted. Sony's next PC port is The Last of Us Part 1 launching on March 28. Considering the huge success of the recent adaptation, will it dethrone God of War or Spider-Man? Time will tell.
