An enhanced version of Sayonara Wild Hearts for PS5 is out now

My dream of a Sayonara Wild Hearts sequel might never be fulfilled, but the sudden arrival of an enhanced version for PS5 just filled my heart on a dreary Monday. Publisher Annapurna Interactive announced the upgrade for the 2019 rhythm action game during its latest showcase.

The PS5 edition includes support for 4K visuals, 120 fps gameplay and haptic feedback via the DualSense controller. There’s also a new unlockable mode called Remix Arcade that’s only available on this PS5 version. Here, you’ll try to nail high scores across random chunks of levels with no loading time between each. Developer Simogo notes that the mode will get progressively faster to add to the challenge.

Simogo had some downtime while figuring out its next big project after Lorelai and the Laser Eyes and the opportunity came up to bring Sayonara Wild Hearts to PS5. The PS4 version already works on the console and the team wasn’t really interested in only upgrading the fidelity.

However, the studio “thought about the hardware and what type of experience that would only be possible on it and remembered that PlayStation 5 has a very fast SSD, which would allow for the type of quick loading we needed for our long lost Infinite Shuffle mode.” Along with adding some new art and sound assets, the renamed Remix Arcade has “a random element that [will] sometimes mirror the level visually to keep players on their toes,”

.

Best of all, the enhanced edition for PS5 is a free upgrade from the PS4 version. Sayonara Wild Hearts is also available in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Otherwise, it costs $13.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is one of my of all time, so I’m more than happy to have an excuse to play through its riotously fun, heart-mending story yet again. I’m tempted to plug my back in to let the stylized art and signature neon purple wash over my eyes as the dreamy pop soundtrack fills my ears.

Here’s hoping Annapurna brings the game back to iOS as well — it left Apple Arcade a few months ago. I need to have Sayonara Wild Hearts available at all times. It’s not enough to have it on PS5, Steam Deck, Switch and PC (can you tell I like this game a whole lot?).
