Days Gone

Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Bend Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Released in April 2019 for PlayStation 4 and later for PC in May 2021, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where players control Deacon St. John, a drifter and bounty hunter navigating a landscape overrun by "Freakers," zombie-like creatures created by a global pandemic. The gameplay focuses on exploration, combat, and survival elements, with players able to use various weapons, craft supplies, and upgrade Deacon’s motorcycle, essential for travelling across the vast and hostile environment. Days Gone combines narrative-driven missions with an open world filled with dynamic events, enemy camps, and environmental challenges.

FAQ

Quick answers

Does this page include PC performance data?

Yes. SpecBeacon can estimate FPS for this game with the current seeded benchmark coverage.

Is the score an official review score?

No. The SpecBeacon Score is an internal reaction signal. It is not copied from Metacritic, OpenCritic, Steam, or the publisher.

What matters most for getting more FPS?

In most cases, GPU choice and resolution move the estimate the most. CPU and RAM usually refine the result rather than replace the GPU signal.
