- The footage shows off the PS5’s exclusive features
- They include immersive 3D audio, DualSense haptic feedback and fast loading times
PlayStation has released a new trailer highlighting the PS5 exclusive features of Housemarque’s upcoming action game, Saros.
The one-minute trailer, which arrives ahead of the game’s launch next month, is an extended gameplay reel that shows playable character Arjun Devraj blasting alien enemies across the mysterious world of Carcosa.
“Immersive” 3D audio is the first feature to be spotlighted, which PlayStation says will help players “track alien threats” in-game via TV speakers or their USB stereo headphones.

Like most PS5 games, Saros will also take full advantage of the DualSense Wireless Controller by offering haptic feedback that allows players to “feel eclipse-powered weaponry through adaptive triggers,” as well as powers, environmental effects, and more.
Housemarque has previously confirmed that unlike its previous games, Return, Saros offers permanent resources and progression.
“After each death you will face a changed world, but in Saros you’ll be able to choose and permanently upgrade your loadout from an evolving set of weapons and suit upgrades to ‘come back stronger’ to overcome the challenges you face on Carcosa,” the studio explained.

While Saros will stand out Return‘s rogue-like mechanics, Housemarque appears to have made use of the PS5’s ultra-fast hardware to speed up the death/revival process by offering faster load times.
“Come back stronger with near-instant loading speeds,” the trailer reads. The lyrics are then accompanied by a cinematic clip showing Arjun dying in battle and then reviving seconds later.
It looks impressive, but these are actually features we now expect from PS5 exclusives. The trailer also doesn’t mention whether the footage is running on a PS5 or PS5 Pro, and it’s not a clear cut showing how many seconds have passed in the real world.
We won’t have to wait much longer to play Saros because the game is scheduled to launch on April 30th, which is a month delay from its original release date of March 20th.
