Days Gone Remastered received criticism from PS5 Pro users after its release last month, citing performance inconsistencies and overly aggressive haptic feedback during gameplay. Responding quickly, Sony Bend's development team released Patch 1.025.809, which aims to address those concerns while also fine-tuning several core aspects of the game.

Key Improvements

Graphic enhancements

The patch improves the Balanced graphics setting for the PS5 and PS5 Pro, bringing it closer to the developers' desired visual experience. In addition, PlayStation Super Resolution (PSSR) has been enhanced specifically for the PS5 Pro, promising clearer images and smoother performance.

Controller Feedback Adjustments

One of the most apparent enhancements is the haptic feedback on the DualSense controller. Many gamers felt the rumble and adaptive triggers overly powerful while riding Deacon's bike. Sony Bend has responded by reducing resistance strength by half, resulting in a more comfortable and immersive experience.

Developer note:

“We cut the intensity in half for a more comfortable ride across the Broken Road.”

Audio and Accessibility Fixes

Freakers' audio cues have been rebalanced to make opponent proximity clearer, and various accessibility issues, such as repeating UI narration faults, have been fixed.

Additional fixes.

• Crash fixes and overall performance improvements

• UI upgrades, especially in Horde Assault mode.

• Improved enemy range in the open world.

• Fixed a rare bug in which Deacon was thrown into the air owing to animation conflicts.

• Localization changes for worldwide players.
