Days Gone
About Days Gone
Days Gone is Bend Studio's open-world action-adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon overrun by zombie-like creatures called Freakers. Players control Deacon St. John, a motorcycle-riding survivor mercenary, searching for his missing wife and forming relationships with various survivor groups while encountering the game's most notable feature: massive 'Horde' swarms — scenes where hundreds of Freakers attack at once, forming the game's most tense and strategic moments. The motorcycle serves as the player's primary transportation, requiring fuel, repairs, and upgrades as its own distinct management mechanic. Though it received mixed reviews at launch, the game has gained a cult following among players over time.

How can I get more FPS in Days Gone?
In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. Days Gone recommends 12 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
