It will be the definitive way to play the game.

Excited? Read on to find out when the Days Gone Remastered release date is, how much it costs and what to expect from it.

Days Gone Remastered release date

The Days Gone Remastered release date is 25th April 2025, Sony has confirmed.

This was revealed during the February 2025 PlayStation State of Play broadcast, which gave us a good look at what to expect from the PS5 remaster of Bend Studio’s PS4 classic.

All of the Days Gone Remastered extras will be added to the PC version of the game via the Broken Road DLC, which costs a tenner, also on 25th April 2025.

Days Gone Remastered price and pre-order details

Days Gone Remastered costs £44.99 if you don’t already own a copy of the PS4 game. Anyone who already owns Days Gone on PS4 can upgrade to the PS5 Remastered version for $10 (UK price TBC).

It is a digital-only game and you can pre-order it from the PlayStation Store. Pre-orders come with various Avatars and early unlocks of in-game items.

You’ll need to head to the PlayStation Store to purchase the Days Gone Remastered upgrade when it launches on 25th April 2025.

If you own the game via PS Plus, meanwhile, you cannot upgrade for a tenner, sadly.

PC players can upgrade their existing copy of the game with the Broken Road DLC, which brings all the Remastered content to the game for a tenner.

What to expect from the Days Gone Remastered

Days Gone Remastered features upgraded graphics and audio, DualSense Controller support, new accessibility features and new modes. It’s also getting a PS5 Pro version to make the most of its extra power.
