Sony Bend’s open-world action-horror game Days Gone is getting the PS5 remaster treatment that the publisher has used with several of its first-party games this generation. Days Gone Remastered was previously rumored to exist in 2024, but now it’s official, and players who own the PS4 version can upgrade to the PS5 version for $10.
Days Gone’s PS5 features include several upgrades, such as improved draw distance, stronger graphical fidelity, better lighting and shadows, 3D audio (so you can hear those hordes of Freakers better, no doubt), and VRR support on compatible screens.
Naturally, it will also enjoy DualSense support, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers meant to provide a more immersive sense of the “Broken Road” on your bike, as well as capturing weather effects like rain and thunder. Another staple of PS5 remasters, Days Gone will also include new accessibility features, including “Contrast mode, Game Speed, UI Narration, Collectible Audio Cues, Controller Remapping, Field of View slider, and more.”
New modes are coming to the PS5 version, too. Horde Assault is billed as a “survival arcade mode” that sounds a bit like Call of Duty Zombies, with an emphasis on lasting as long as you can rather than reaching a definitive end point. A new permadeath mode will also give hardcore players a one-life-to-live stipulation for the most authentic apocalyptic experience. There will also be a new speedrun mode that pushes you to beat the story as quickly as you can.
Photo mode is also being overhauled to throw in more features such as time-of-day settings, new lighting rigs, and new logo options.
Days Gone Remastered arrives on April 25 for PS5, with the game’s new content mentioned above coming to the PC version as the Broken Road DLC bundle. This was one of many announcements during the February 2025 State of Play presentation.
