Days Gone Remastered announced for PS5, launches April 25

Days Gone Remastered rides onto PlayStation 5 April 25, 2025! A game nearest and dearest to our hearts, with our good partners at Climax Studios, we strived to make this the definitive way to play Days Gone for new and returning players. Step into the dirt flecked shoes of former outlaw biker Deacon St. John and feel his desperate struggle for survival in a brutal open world ravaged by feral creatures known as Freakers.

We at Bend Studio are very excited to share our first look at Days Gone Remastered with our announcement trailer, giving you a sneak peek of brand new content to play!

Built for the PS5

Days Gone Remastered is brought to new life by the PlayStation 5 console featuring improved graphical fidelity, increased foliage draw distance, improved shadow and lighting quality, Tempest 3D Audio*, VRR support** and more. Select your preferred playing experience between Quality mode for increased resolution or Performance mode for improved framerates. And with the added power of the PS5 Pro, Days Gone has truly never looked better on PlayStation!

DualSense controller support

Feel the intensity of Days Gone with its full use of the DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Ride across the Broken Road and feel the rumble of your bike’s engine or the wheels gripping the dirt roads in the palm of your hands. Lose yourself in the unique environment of the Pacific Northwest with weather haptics including rain and thunder. Get to grips with the distinct feel and resistance of various weapons from Deacon’s arsenal while fighting your way through hordes of Freakers.

New Accessibility features

Accessible play is important to us at Bend Studio. Days Gone Remastered gave us the opportunity to expand our suite of accessibility features, allowing even more players to enjoy our world. To highlight a few of these new settings, Days Gone Remastered includes High Contrast mode, Game Speed, UI Narration, Collectible Audio Cues, Controller Remapping, Field of View slider, and more.

Not only is Days Gone Remastered receiving PS5 enhancements, but we’re also throwing in new content to play!

Horde Assault – A survival arcade mode

Experience an all-new way to play Days Gone! Horde Assault offers fresh and unexpected gameplay designed to challenge your skills as you try to achieve a high score while surviving as long as possible against increased horde sizes and various other enemies, like vicious survivors and evolved Freakers. And yes, we said increased horde sizes. Good luck.

Travel across familiar regions found in the story including the Cascade, Belknap, Lost Lake, and Crater Lake. But be warned: This World Comes For You. Fight your way through a brutal, ever-changing landscape where enemies escalate in difficulty the longer you survive. Move up in level to earn in-mode rewards with never-before-playable characters, new patch cosmetics, and unique Injectors to greatly impact your gameplay experience. Stay tuned for more information on Horde Assault coming soon!

Permadeath mode

Do you have the skill – and nerve – to take on the ultimate challenge by attempting to finish the compelling story of Deacon St. John’s journey in one single playthrough without dying?

In a world where everything is out to kill you, your skills will be tested to the limit and mastery is required to conquer Permadeath mode. If you meet your unfortunate end, you must either return to the beginning of the game or the start of the second act and try your luck again – dependent on which setting you choose. Achieve this great feat and be rewarded with a special graphic recording your time it took to complete, unique stats like how many Freakers you killed during your playthrough, and more. Of course, you’ll receive a shiny new PlayStation Trophy as well.

Did we mention that yet? Days Gone Remastered will have a new Trophy pack for you to unlock, specifically for the new game modes! Go get ‘em trophy hunters.

Additional content

But wait, there’s more! We love our Days Gone community and wanted to provide a small gift that keeps on giving. At launch, Days Gone Remastered will get another game mode – Equip your nitrous and race against the clock in the all-new Speedrun mode; you’ll need to play through the story as quickly as possible. Be sure to share your best times with a special end game graphic to post on social media!

For all our virtual photographers out there, we are pleased to announce our Enhanced Photo Mode. That’s right, the Photo Mode you’ve come to love is getting an improvement. Take out your virtual camera once more with additions such as time-of-day setting, a three-point lighting system, and new logo options.We cannot wait to see what new shots you will come up with!
