Days Gone reduces its size significantly after applying the new patch 1.61

The update does not implement important developments, but it does optimize the game and fix some specific errors.

Walking among hordes of infected does not predict a life expectancy that is too high, but Days Gone is still in top shape. The SIE Bend Studio title, which went on sale in the first half of 2019, continues to polish the gaming experience with new updates. The most recent, 1.61, considerably reduces the weight of the video game on the hard drive, as reflected in its official Reddit thread. However, beyond the optimization and correction of some specific errors, no significant developments are added.

Although the patch size is 30 GB, once installed on PlayStation 4, it is perceived that of the almost 60 GB that it used to occupy on the hard disk, it now only needs 38 GB to deploy its open world. Here are the full patch notes:

  • The reward of the Best Light with a Candle mission should be obtained correctly.
  • General optimization in some missions
  • The score will be applied well when oxygen tanks are used in Reloaded challenges.
  • In the mission The Anarchist Spy will correctly reset the traps if you fail in the mission.
  • Better optimization when playing before the entire game is downloaded.
  • General improvements in optimization and stability.

They want a sequel

Days Gone was updated at the end of the year to offer the New Game Plus mode, as well as extra difficulty modes. The developers, who were not working on a new IP from Syphon Filter (at the time of the original PlayStation), confirmed that they are open to developing a sequel to their most recent title. Even so, it has not yet been officially announced, although the pre-production of its next project is already underway.

The game, available exclusively for PlayStation 4, puts the player in the shoes of Deacon St John, a biker who lives his days with the memory of his murdered wife. The United States succumbed to the epidemic of the infected, a plague that ravages every square inch of American lands. Faced with this situation, the survivors struggle to live another day. In any case, not only the monsters attack, but also humans, who, driven by greed, take advantage of the situation for their own benefit.
