The highly anticipated Days Gone Remastered is just around the corner, and Sony's Bend Studio has shared exciting details about the new accessibility features that will enhance the gaming experience for all players. One standout feature is the ability to adjust the Game Speed, allowing players to slow down the action when things get intense. This option lets you reduce the gameplay speed from 100% to as low as 75%, 50%, or 25%, making it easier for those who find high-pressure situations challenging.

In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Kevin McAllister, Bend Studio's Creative & Product Lead, delved into these accessibility enhancements. He highlighted that the Game Speed feature is particularly beneficial for players who might feel overwhelmed, especially when battling hordes of Freakers. "Game Speed is ideal for players who might feel overwhelmed in certain situations or have difficulty with various inputs in high pressure moments, specifically fighting off hordes of Freakers," McAllister explained. With the introduction of the new Horde Assault mode in the remaster, this feature aims to make this unique combat experience more accessible to everyone.

Beyond Game Speed, Days Gone Remastered will offer a variety of other accessibility options, such as customizable subtitle colors, a High Contrast Mode, UI Narration, and Collectible Audio Cues. Additionally, the auto-complete QTE option, which was previously limited to Easy difficulty, will now be available across all difficulty levels, from Easy to Survival II.

While these accessibility enhancements will primarily be available in Days Gone Remastered, Bend Studio has also confirmed that most of these features will be rolled out to the PC version of Days Gone. However, some options, like feedback and control customization, will require a compatible controller.

Days Gone Remastered was officially announced in February, bringing not only these accessibility improvements but also an enhanced photo mode, permadeath and speedrun options, and more. This remaster of the 2019 biker-themed, post-apocalyptic zombie action-adventure game is set to launch on April 25, 2025. Players who already own the PS4 version of Days Gone can upgrade to the PS5 remastered version for just $10.
