"Days Gone Remastered: New Feature Allows Game Speed Adjustment"

Days Gone Remastered is set to launch soon, and Sony's Bend Studio has shared exciting details about the upcoming accessibility features in the game. In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Kevin McAllister, the Creative & Product Lead at Bend Studio, outlined the various enhancements designed to make the game more accessible, including a unique Game Speed option.

The Game Speed feature allows players to adjust the speed of gameplay, ranging from 100% down to 75%, 50%, and 25%. This adjustment aims to help players who may feel overwhelmed during intense moments, such as fighting off hordes of Freakers. McAllister emphasized that this feature is particularly beneficial in the new Horde Assault mode, which is part of the remastered version, making the unique combat experience more accessible to all players.

In addition to Game Speed, Days Gone Remastered will include other accessibility options such as customizable subtitle colors, a High Contrast Mode, UI Narration, and Collectible Audio Cues. The auto-complete QTE feature, previously limited to Easy difficulty, will now be available across all difficulty levels, from Easy to Survival II.

Bend Studio also confirmed that most of these new accessibility features will be available for the PC version of Days Gone. However, some features like feedback and control customization will require a compatible controller.

Announced in February, Days Gone Remastered comes with additional enhancements, including an improved photo mode, permadeath and speedrun options, and the aforementioned accessibility features. This remastered version of the 2019 post-apocalyptic zombie action-adventure game is set to release on April 25, 2025. Players who own the PS4 version of Days Gone can upgrade to the PS5 remastered version for just $10.
