PlayStation Studios and developer Housemarque have announced that Returnal has scored an update today that adds in one highly requested feature and one that will make many players happy, depending on your point of view; a Photo Mode and the ability to exit a run, mid-cycle.

Harry Krueger, the Game Director from Housemarque took to the PlayStation Blog to talk about the two new additions, starting with the ability to save your progress at any point.

One of the main features of this update is the Suspend Cycle functionality, which will allow you to pause your cycle to be continued later, letting you exit the game and turn off your console without losing your progress in that session. The structure of the game remains unchanged, so 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.

The other addition is a photo mode, which as the name suggests, lets you take photos, something the trailer makes very clear.

At any point during the game (except 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.

You can read the full update for the game here, but it will download to all users of the game, if you have it installed of course, during the day.
