Great news for Days Gone fans: if you poured hours into the original PS4 version, you won’t need to start over when the PS5 remaster launches on April 25. Developer Bend Studio has officially confirmed that save files from the PS4 version will be compatible with Days Gone Remastered, allowing players to carry over all progress, upgrades, and unlocks seamlessly into the enhanced edition.
Your PS4 Progress Is Safe in the Remaster
This long-requested feature ensures that returning players can pick up exactly where they left off, whether they were midway through the story or cleaning up trophies. The save transfer capability offers much-needed peace of mind, especially for those who’ve already braved Days Gone’s treacherous open world and aren’t eager to restart from scratch.
A Fully Enhanced Experience on PS5
Days Gone Remastered is being developed in collaboration between Bend Studio and Climax Studios, bringing a suite of enhancements tailored to the PlayStation 5 experience, including:
-
Improved graphics and performance
-
Support for DualSense features, such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback
-
New accessibility options
-
Additional game modes, offering fresh ways to experience the post-apocalyptic journey
Originally released on PS4 in 2019, Days Gone quickly earned a dedicated fan base with its gripping story, intense horde battles, and rugged open-world survival gameplay. It later arrived on PC in 2021, expanding its reach to a broader audience.
Continuing a Welcome Trend
Save compatibility has become an increasingly common and appreciated feature in PS5 upgrades, as seen with titles like The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, and Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut. Days Gone Remastered now joins that list, reaffirming Bend Studio’s commitment to its community.
With its PS5 launch just around the corner, Days Gone Remastered is shaping up to be the definitive version of the game—and now, it’s even easier to return to Deacon St. John’s world without leaving your past progress behind.
