With the introduction of todays powerful new gaming consoles developers are lining up to take advantage of the wares of the robust new hardware, and next up developer Firesprite, who made a name for themselves with the impressive VR survival horror, The Persistence, is now bringing an enhanced version to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC this June.

The Persistence offers a brutal take on survival-horror that integrates an innovative rogue-lite design into the genre, as players are tasked with surviving aboard a doomed deep space colony starship in the year 2521, repeatedly heading deeper and deeper in the decks of The Persistence on each run, to repair the systems and prevent the ship from being torn apart.

The Persistence Enhanced dials up the atmosphere and tension further with improved lighting and particle effects and the addition of a Raytracing ‘Quality’ mode for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, which also includes immersive haptic feedback via the DualSense controller. DXR implementation has also been enabled for PCs with a supported graphics card.

The Persistence Enhanced will be available as a standalone paid digital download and also as a free upgrade for existing owners of The Persistence on PlayStation 4, Xbox and Steam platforms.
