Sony has officially announced Days Gone Remastered, bringing the fan-favorite open-world survival game to the PlayStation 5 with enhanced visuals, gameplay refinements, and additional content. Scheduled for release on April 25, 2025, this remastered edition aims to deliver the definitive experience for both newcomers and returning players.
Enhanced Visuals and Performance on PS5
One of the standout features of Days Gone Remastered is its visual and performance enhancements tailored for the PS5. The game will now run at dynamic 4K resolution with 60 FPS, ensuring smoother gameplay and a more immersive experience. Improved lighting effects, high-resolution textures, and enhanced character models bring Deacon St. John’s world to life in greater detail. Additionally, the PS5’s SSD drastically reduces loading times, allowing for seamless open-world traversal.
Gameplay Improvements & New Features
While Days Gone on PS4 was praised for its gripping story and vast world, the remastered version introduces several quality-of-life improvements.
- Haptic Feedback & Adaptive Triggers: The DualSense controller enhances the game’s gunplay and motorbike handling, making every weapon feel distinct and giving the bike’s throttle a more realistic feel.
- New Survival Mode: A fresh challenge for veteran players, Survival Mode+ limits HUD elements, increases enemy aggression, and introduces new rewards.
- Photo Mode Upgrades: The remastered version features expanded photo mode tools, allowing players to capture breathtaking moments in greater detail.
- Enhanced AI Mechanics: Enemies now behave more dynamically, making Freaker hordes even more unpredictable and human enemies more tactical.
- Refined Bike Handling: Riding Deacon’s Drifter bike feels smoother with improved physics and tighter controls.
