Get ready, fans of the post-apocalyptic thrill ride, because Days Gone Remastered is rolling out to PlayStation 5 this April 25, 2025. Sony unveiled this enhanced version of Bend Studio's gripping adventure during the February 2025 State of Play, and it's packed with new features that promise to reinvigorate your experience with Deacon St. John's journey through a Freaker-infested Oregon.
This remastered edition isn't just a simple polish job. It's a comprehensive upgrade with new modes like permadeath and speedrun, designed to challenge even the most seasoned players. If you're into testing your skills, the permadeath mode will push you to your limits, while speedrun mode will have you racing against the clock. But that's not all; the game also introduces an enhanced photo mode, giving you even more tools to capture the haunting beauty of the game's world. Plus, additional accessibility features ensure that more players can join in on the action.
For those who crave intense action, the new Horde Assault arcade mode lets you face off against larger hordes of Freakers than ever before. It's an adrenaline-pumping addition that truly tests your survival skills. And don't worry about hardware; Days Gone Remastered supports VRR and PS5 Pro, making the game look and run smoother than ever.
If you already own the PS4 version of Days Gone, you can upgrade to the remastered PS5 version for just $10, ensuring you don't miss out on these exciting new features. And for those of you on PC, Sony has you covered with the $10 Broken Roads DLC, which brings the new modes, accessibility features, DualSense support, and enhanced photo mode to your platform.
Bend Studio has taken full advantage of the PS5's capabilities, promising improved visuals that can be enjoyed in either Performance or Quality mode. For those lucky enough to own a PS5 Pro, the game's sights and sounds are even more immersive, with the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers bringing you closer to the action.
New players can jump into the adventure for $49.99. Pre-orders kick off tomorrow, and those who pre-purchase will receive eight PSN avatars and five early in-game unlocks. To dive deeper into all the announcements from today’s State of Play, check out our comprehensive roundup here.
