Days Gone Remastered: Release Date, Upgrades, and Controversies

Days Gone Remastered launches on April 25, 2025, bringing visual upgrades, new gameplay modes, and PS5 optimizations—but not all players are happy about Sony's upgrade policy.

After years of speculation, Days Gone Remastered is finally official. Sony confirmed the remaster at the latest State of Play, announcing its release for PS5 and PC on April 25, 2025.

The remastered edition promises improved graphics, new gameplay modes, and DualSense controller support, making it the definitive version of Bend Studio's post-apocalyptic survival game.

However, the announcement has been met with mixed reactions, as Sony's upgrade policy excludes some PlayStation Plus users from accessing the discounted price.

This remaster isn't just a simple resolution bump—it includes multiple improvements that enhance both the visuals and gameplay.

For PC players, these upgrades will be included as part of the "Broken Road" DLC expansion, offering the same next-gen experience.

Despite the excitement surrounding the remaster, PlayStation's upgrade pricing structure has caused backlash.

✔️ Players who purchased Days Gone (physical or digital) on PS4 can upgrade to the remaster for $10.

? PS Plus users who claimed Days Gone for free (April 2021 or via the PS Plus Collection) must pay the full $49.99 price.

This decision has sparked frustration among fans, as many argue that Sony is missing out on easy revenue—players might have been willing to pay $10 for an upgrade rather than skipping the remaster altogether.

Discussions on Reddit and gaming forums highlight how players feel excluded by this policy:

This upgrade restriction has reignited debates about Sony's handling of remasters compared to Xbox's free Smart Delivery system.

Players interested in pre-ordering should check availability on PlayStation Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

While Days Gone Remastered breathes new life into the franchise, there's no official confirmation of a sequel.

For now, Days Gone fans will have to wait and see if this remaster helps revive interest in the franchise.
