There is more evidence that the third-person shooter roguelike, Returnal, from publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Housemarque is getting a PC release. 

A SteamDB page for a game with the codename of Oregon in its Changelist mentions Returnal twice in changes made earlier today and yesterday, which were spotted by VideoGamesChronicle. Mentions of Returnal were added to the save games directory.

This same SteamDB page previously featured tags that describe the game with a text string that mentions the "Tower Of Sisyphus," which is a free expansion for Returnal that includes an Endless Mode. The tags and strings were later removed.

Returnal released for the PlayStation 5 in April 2021 and sold 560,000 units worldwide as of Jul 18, 2021.

All but confirmed at this point. I imagine this release will be like Sackboy: A Big Adventure where it was found in SteamDB for months then one day Sony tweets about it and the game drops just a couple weeks later

hopefully they market it well, it is the kind of game that can sell 1 million+ on steam and outsell the PS5 sales 2 to 1

For sure! Rogulike's have great longevity on PC whether it's Hades or Dead Cells still drawing in thousands of players just on Steam alone. At the moment of typing this, both games have 4,000 concurrent players each on Steam on top of however many players there are on EGS. And they're years old at this point. Having a AAA quality roguelike on PC would definitely be huge if Sony markets it correctly.
