PS5 “bullet ballet” game Saros gets a big update to make it both easier and harder

Saros has received a major Zenith update that adds ways to adjust the game’s difficulty and pace, alongside new challenges for experienced players. The changes aim to make the bullet-heavy PlayStation 5 shooter more approachable without reducing its combat, while giving players who have finished it reasons to return.

Players can slow the game manually or automatically, and choose from 10 Protection modifiers for help or Trial modifiers for extra difficulty. After completing the game, they can unlock Eclipse Layers, a New Game Plus mode with altered rules and 12 story visions to discover. Overlord Rush offers short boss battles, including a final challenge against all eight Overlords; Saros launched in April and had a slower sales start than Returnal.
