You can enable cheating in Returnal, but it may not last long.
it seems Return The developer Housemarque accidentally included many active cheating methods in the game. Cheating commands and debugging codes have been used in game development for quick testing and fine-tuning.
Watch on youtube
However, usually they are only known to the developer. There is no way for the player to enter and complete the game, they are still a secret. Obviously, as YouTube user TheRandomizer discovered this week, Returnal is not the case.
Players have unearthed many useful cheating techniques that allow you to generate any weapon in the game, return to the crash site (while keeping all the gains from running), etc. You need to connect the keyboard to the PS5 to activate any of them.
The bad news is that Housemarque realizes that cheating is ubiquitous and the developers are working on this issue-probably in today’s update, so you’d better try it if possible. We’ve added all the discovered codes below, and you can also watch the video at the top to see how they work.
None of these cheats provide invincibility or maximum damage, but it means that even if cheats are activated, you still need to play the game in the correct way. This is why Reddit users have come up with a great strategy to incorporate cheating techniques into your operations to achieve maximum efficiency.
This is the code so far (just make sure you are offline):
- Hold Shift, Control, Alt and select from 1 to 0 to put the weapon to the current proficiency level.
- Hold down Shift, Ctrl, 8 to return to the latest point in the first loop.
- Hold Shift, Control 4 and return to the crash site at the beginning of the game (with your current statistics and pickup data).
There are other considerations to keep in mind. If you are in the fourth biome (or after defeating the boss of the third biome), Don’t Please use the command that returns you to the crash site, because you will not be able to return to the fourth biome and complete the run afterwards.
Use the numbers 3 and 7 (hold Shift and Control at the same time) to freeze the game. The numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 and 0 have no effect.
