What’s New in Days Gone Remastered?

Unlike a full remake, Days Gone Remastered focuses on refining the original experience with improved graphics, additional gameplay modes, and expanded accessibility features.

Visual and Performance Enhancements

The remaster brings:

  • Improved foliage draw distance

  • Enhanced shadow and lighting quality

  • Support for Tempest 3D Audio and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate)

New Game Modes in Days Gone Remastered

Horde Assault – Survival Arcade Mode

A new Horde Assault mode increases the intensity of the game’s horde battles, pitting players against larger zombie waves mixed with different enemy types. Players earn points based on survival time, unlocking new in-game cosmetics and unique injectors that alter gameplay.

Permadeath Mode

For those seeking the ultimate challenge, Permadeath Mode lets players attempt a full playthrough without dying once. If the player dies, their entire run is lost.

Speedrun Mode & Enhanced Photo Mode

  • Speedrun Mode is designed for players aiming to complete the game’s campaign as fast as possible.

  • Enhanced Photo Mode introduces a time-of-day setting, a three-point lighting system, and new logo options for capturing stunning in-game moments.

Expanded Accessibility Options

The remaster also includes new accessibility features, making the game more approachable for a wider audience. These include:

  • Contrast Mode

  • Game Speed Adjustments

  • UI Narration

  • Collectible Audio Cues

  • Controller Remapping

  • Field of View (FoV) Slider
