Returnal update 1.3.4 has just been rolled out by developer Housemarque after yesterday’s 1.3.3 patch has been pulled.

　　Yesterday, the developer deployed a new update for Returnal, but shortly after its release, the patch was pulled and the game version was reverted to 1.3.1. Apparently, various users were presented with a CE-100028-1 error after applying the 1.3.3 patch.

　　On Twitter, Housemarque advised owners of the game to don’t start the game until a new update has been made available. In addition, all users affected by the CE-100028-1 are required to re-download Returnal on PlayStation 5. On the official PlayStation support site, Sony writes that the CE-100028-1 error is caused by the internal SSD not having enough free space, although this clearly isn't the case here. Unfortunately, the error has resulted in save data getting corrupted for Returnal players.

　　"Patch 1.3.3 has been pulled and we are reverting back to 1.3.1 until it's fixed", the developer wrote on Twitter. "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."

　　So to be safe, don't start the game before the upcoming patch is available and downloaded.

　　Luckily, the studio has now rolled out a new update that should fix the previous error. Release notes for this patch haven’t been shared just yet, but they are most likely identical to yesterday’s 1.3.3 update. We've included the official release notes for yesterday's patch down below:

Returnal Patch 1.3.3 Release Notes PlayStation 5

　　Save for an ending that crashes nearly as hard as Helios' entry onto Atropos, Returnal checks all of the marks for what a best-in-class roguelike should aim for: a gameplay loop that rewards the player for innovation and mastery, loot that can synergize to create some unstoppable character builds, and most importantly, weapons that simply feel right in the player's hands. Without a doubt, Returnal is one of the finest PlayStation 5 exclusives available in 2021 and those that are eager for the next great challenge can find plenty to look forward to with Selene's first steps onto the alien planet again and again.
