Days Gone Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 Games

Days Gone, Bend Studio’s post-apocalyptic exploration of a ruined world, is getting a remaster for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. Revisit the classic fight for survival in a world overrun by Freakers, using every tool at your disposal. It’s the game you know and love, with a lot of new additions revealed by PlayStation’s State of Play.

Not only does the game come with new content, but it also adds in a Permadeath Mode for when you want that added bit of challenge. It will force you to play more carefully, as even a single mistake can mean the end of your game. There’s also an Enhanced Photomode that lets you capture those moments of beauty in a ruined world.

More importantly, Days Gone now has improved accessibility features. A few of these features include High COntrast mode, UI Narration, Collectible Audio Cues, and several other features that will make it easier for players with physical impairments to play the game the way it was meant to be experienced.

And for those players that already conquered Days Gone, there’s a new Speedrun Mode. Put your skills to the test and see how quickly you can clear the game.

The final addition is the Horde Assault mode, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. Wave after wave of enemies descend on you, forcing you to fight them back to earn points. As you fight through the levels, you’ll earn in-game points that let you unlock rewards like new characters, cosmetics, and unique Injectors.

Days Gone Remastered comes to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro on April 25, and the content comes to PC as the Broken Road DLC on the same day. Newcomers to the game can buy it for just $50, but players who own the existing Days Gone can upgrade to the Remastered version for just $10. And if you preorder the game (starting February 13), you’ll receive eight new PSN avatars and five early unlocks that will give you an advantage in the story.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.

Microsoft may already be putting pieces of its rumored Game Pass overhaul into place. A recent report claimed that Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is planning a major rethink of the subscription service that could let players pay separately for features such as cloud gaming, multiplayer, and console-only games. Xbox has now started testing a pay-as-you-go version of Cloud Gaming that does not require a Game Pass subscription.
