Okay, so Saros is getting a big update in May 2026! It sounds like Housemarque is really listening to players, fixing bugs and just making the game better overall. If you liked Returnal, you’ll probably love this – it’s got that same fast-paced, third-person bullet hell action and roguelite gameplay. But they’ve also expanded on everything, adding more to the story and how you actually play the game. From what I’ve seen, it’s another huge win for the team at Housemarque!
Although official sales figures aren’t available yet, Housemarque is fully utilizing new technology with their game, Saros, even though it’s a very large download. They also seem to have improved on what they learned from Returnal, offering players more options to adjust the difficulty to suit their preferences. It looks like Saros will continue to improve with future updates, like the one released on May 5, 2026.
A new update for Saros is now available, and it builds on the game’s already extensive customization options. This patch adds even more ways to personalize your experience, including new color settings, options for the HUD power indicator, and matching settings for armor integrity. You can now preview these changes before applying them. We’ve also refined the appearance of several indicators, such as ammo, weapon charge, and boss invulnerability. Finally, a visual issue with Second Chance when using Carcosan Modifiers has been resolved.
Beyond that, Housemarque has enhanced the graphics in Saros by refining reflections and optimizing the depth of field. To improve game balance, the Power Generator weapon trait now provides less power. The Powered Dash artifact has been updated with damage scaling and visual improvements, and bullet bounce accuracy has also been tweaked.

Players flooded the comments section with reports of new problems, hoping Housemarque would take notice. It’s obvious this update didn’t fix everything, as some are still encountering frustrating bugs – like one that traps players in the Cathedral with no way to proceed. Many are also asking for additional downloadable content and a photo mode, hoping to capture the distinctive and unsettling atmosphere of Saros, a feature that was later added to Returnal.
Along with this update, Saros is giving players a free gift! Hidden codes have been found on the game’s official website that unlock 6 PlayStation Network (PSN) avatars. You can redeem these avatars through the PlayStation website or app. The avatars feature characters from the game, including the main character, Arjun Devraj, and the five bosses.
