Days Gone Remastered update brings 40fps balanced mode alongside VRR support

5 years on from the game’s initial 2019 release, Sony officially launched Days Gone Remastered for PS5 and PC last month. While a solid upgrade overall (especially with its $10 price tag for owners of the previous release) the PS5 version in particular was missing some expected features. As part of the game’s latest patch however, PS5 players can now benefit from a 40FPS balanced mode, VRR support and more.

Making the announcement on BlueSky, the team at Bend Studio wrote: “We have an update beginning to roll out globally addressing player feedback, along with a new Balanced graphics mode, and VRR support.”

The full patch notes can be found HERE, but some of the most notable additions/improvements include the following:

• Added a new ‘Balanced’ render mode to the Graphics menu
  • PS5 – 1800p at 40fps
  • PS5 Pro – 2160p (using PSSR) at 40fps
• VRR support now enabled
• Improved loading times and streaming optimizations
• Updated input lag to feel more consistent across all render options
• Unlocked map FPS
• Overall audio mix improved.
• Various audio adjustments
• Gyro Aiming fixes

Sony’s first-party PlayStation releases have been quite good at supporting 40fps modes as well as VRR and so Days Gone Remastered lacking both at launch was somewhat surprising.

That said, it is welcome at least to see these additions coming within a month of the remaster’s launch.
