While Sony has kept most of its exclusives on PS4 and PS5, the company has experimented with bringing its games to PC as well. Things started off with the Horizon Zero Dawn PC port, which will be followed up by the PC port for Days Gone, expected to hit the platform within the next few months. While fans wait to hear the official Days Gone PC release date, Bend Studio has released some more information on what to expect from the game's PC-exclusive features.
As long as players have a PC powerful enough to meet Days Gone's requirements, they will be able to take advantage of some PC-exclusive features. This includes ultra-wide monitor support, an unlocked frame rate, and improved graphics when compared to the PS4 version of the game. And while there are no PlayStation trophies available on PC, the PC version of Days Gone will still have full achievement support. Other PC-exclusive features were teased by Bend Studio, but haven't been elaborated on at the time of this writing.
Days Gone earned somewhat mixed reviews when it first released due to a variety of reasons, but it has since been looked back in a brighter light. Updates since launch vastly improved its technical issues, and despite its initial lukewarm reception, Days Gone sales were still quite strong.
Many more players will get to experience Days Gone for themselves soon enough. The Days Gone PC port should make the game accessible to a much wider audience, plus the game will soon be added to the PS Plus lineup. Days Gone is one of the free PS Plus games for April 2021, joining the service on April 6 alongside Oddworld: Soulstorm on PS5 and fellow PS4 game Zombie Army 4: Dead War.
PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS5 can try Days Gone without waiting for April 6. As it so happens, Days Gone PS Plus Collection on PS5, which gives owners of Sony's next-generation console instant access to some of the PS4's highest-rated games and its various exclusives.
It will be interesting to see if public opinion of Days Gone continues to improve as more people play the game. And if so, it will be interesting to see if that potential success sees Sony and Bend Studio move forward on a Days Gone sequel. Bend Studio's next game hasn't been confirmed at the time of this writing, but Days Gone fans should keep an eye out for more information.
Days Gone is out now for PS4 with a PC version coming later this year.
