Housemarque explained: “The structure of the game remains unchanged, so this functionality is not a traditional mid-game “Save Game” option: by suspending the cycle, Returnal will simply create a single use suspend point, and once you resume playing the suspend point is deleted and cannot be used again. Simply put, the new addition suspends your current run and allows you to turn the game off without losing progress. You can’t save the game in the traditional sense.

Housemarque confirmed it via a PlayStation Blog post.
