The latest Returnal update 2.0 is now available for all PlayStation 5 players. According to the official details, the latest Returnal Update 2.0 adds Photo Mode and Suspend Cycle option to allow you to Suspend Your Cycle.
Suspend Cycle
Suspending your cycle in Returnal means that you can exit the game and/or turn off your console without losing any progress in that session.
However, Sony says that this functionality is not a traditional mid-game “Save Game” option. By suspending the cycle, Returnal will simply create a single-use suspend point, and once you resume playing the suspend point is deleted and cannot be used again.
There are some limitations in place as well – for example, players won’t be able to create a suspend point during Boss battles, cinematics, first-person sequences or during intense combat scenarios – as we felt there are certain moments in Returnal that are best experienced unfragmented to preserve the intended challenge and flow.
Photo Mode
The second feature the latest Returnal update 2.0 adds is the Photo mode. The photo mode has been one of the most requested features for players.
At any point during the game (except for some limited circumstances like our first-person sequences), you can simply pause the game and enter Photo Mode, which will put you in control of the camera. You can then use the analog sticks and the adaptive triggers to move the camera around and pick the perfect angle for your photo.

Once you’ve perfected your composition, you can then explore some optional settings like focal distance, aperture, saturation or contrast. You can also set different sources of light to highlight the scene, and choose from a variety of many different filters, effects, frames, coloring options, and much more to help bring that unique flair to your captures.
When you’re happy with the result, just hit the Create button on your DualSense wireless controller to take the photo. Using the social features built directly into the PS5 console, you can also share and celebrate your most cherished Returnal moments with social media as well.
