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.

Everything announced at PlayStation State of Play February 2025

After a strange but ultimately successful 2024, Sony unveiled its plans for 2025 with a State of Play -- or at least, partially. Rather than focusing on big first-party games like Ghost of Yotei and Marvel's Wolverine, the 45 minute showcase almost exclusively focused on upcoming third-party games. We got release dates for Borderlands 4 and Metal Gear Solid Delta, filling us in on what's coming in the second half of 2025. We even got a surprise release in Warriors: Abyss, a new Musou roguelike from Koei Tecmo available today.

There was just a smidge of first-party news. Sony ended strong with a teaser for Saros, a new game from the studio behind Returnal. We also saw Days Gone Remastered, which will give Sony's zombie game a similar treatment to The Last of Us Part 2. Unfortunately, we didn't get any Bloodborne news at this as fans had hoped, but it was still an intriguing showcase. Here's everything that Sony announced at the February 2025 State of Play.

Freedom Wars Remastered is the perfect Monster Hunter Wilds warm-up
The cast of characters in Freedom Wars: Remastered

This January is the calm before the storm. There aren’t a ton of major new video game releases coming this month, save for Dynasty Warriors: Origins, but February is going to be a stacked month for games. It’ll give us Civilization VII, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Avowed, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Monster Hunter Wilds. January, on the other hand, is filled with remasters and PC ports. Some of those games feel like perfect primers for February’s games. Case in point: Freedom Wars Remastered.

The new port brings a PlayStation Vita classic to modern consoles, and that timing is ideal. Freedom Wars is an action RPG that shares some similarities with Monster Hunter, though it's much smaller in scope than something like Wilds. That makes this solid remaster the perfect warm-up game ahead of one of 2025’s biggest releases.
Fighting for freedom
Freedom Wars takes place in the year 102014 where humanity has almost been completely wiped out. In this postapocalyptic future, different cities called “Panopticons” fight over increasingly dwindling resources. Panopticons function as surveillance states, where every person is automatically branded a criminal because even existing is a crime in itself.
