Days Gone was always a bit of a misunderstood gem—rough at launch, but full of heart. Now, with the remastered version, this post-apocalyptic biker story gets a second chance to roar down the highway, and honestly? It earns it.
Released for PlayStation 5 and PC, Days Gone Remastered brings updated visuals, improved performance, and a few quality-of-life tweaks that make the world feel more alive—and more dangerous—than ever.
Story
You play as Deacon St. John, a former outlaw biker trying to survive in a world overrun by zombie-like creatures called Freakers. But the real strength of the story isn’t the apocalypse—it’s Deacon himself.
-
A gritty, emotional journey centered on loss, loyalty, and survival.
-
Strong voice acting and character writing help sell the emotional weight.
-
Oregon’s wild, forest-heavy backdrop feels like a character of its own.
If you missed it the first time, this is the version you want to play.
Gameplay & Exploration
At its core, Days Gone is a mix of third-person action, open-world exploration, and survival elements. The remaster doesn’t reinvent gameplay, but it smooths out the edges.
-
Combat feels more responsive thanks to increased frame rates.
-
Motorcycle mechanics are still central—and still awesome.
-
Stealth and crafting are essential to survival and feel more refined.
There’s something very satisfying about clearing out a Freaker nest or riding full throttle into a horde.
Visuals &Performance updates
The remaster looks sharp—really sharp.
-
Runs at 4K resolution with up to 60 FPS on PS5 and supported PCs.
-
Textures are noticeably cleaner, lighting has more depth, and draw distance is improved.
-
Load times are vastly reduced compared to the original.
This is how Days Gone was meant to look and feel.
Sound &Atmosphere
The world of Days Gone wouldn’t be the same without its haunting soundscape.
-
The ambient sounds—howls in the night, distant groans—still create real tension.
-
The remastered audio is clearer, and surround sound support adds immersion.
-
Soundtrack ranges from soft acoustic guitar to high-stakes combat tracks.
You’ll feel the danger, even when you can’t see it yet.
New features & Upgrades
While not a full remake, the remaster adds a few notable improvements:
-
DualSense features on PS5: Adaptive triggers and haptic feedback add immersion.
-
Improved AI and slight tuning to horde behavior.
-
All previously released DLC is included.
It’s not a total overhaul, but it’s a meaningful upgrade for both new and returning players.
Our opinion
Days Gone Remastered doesn’t change the core of what the game is—but it perfects it. What was once a flawed but lovable experience is now a polished and deeply engaging journey through a brutal, beautiful world.
Whether you're revisiting or riding with Deacon for the first time, this version is absolutely worth the ride.
