What you need to know
- Days Gone is coming to PC, leading a new wave of PlayStation titles being ported.
- The PC requirements for Days Gone have been revealed.

We recently learned that Sony is continuing its efforts of bringing PlayStation titles over to PC. This new slate begins with Days Gone, a third-person survival game developed by Bend Studio, a team that's part of Sony Worldwide Studios. Days Gone tasks players with navigating an open world filled with massive hordes of infected called Freakers, so it's not surprising that if you want it to run as well as possible, you'll need some decent equipment.
Fortunately, the PC requirements for Days Gone are already available, so you can check and make sure you've got everything needed. Days Gone on PC supports ultrawide monitors, unlocked framerates and increased graphical fidelity over the PS4 version. Depending on the quality of the port, this could be one of the best PC games available in a year of delayed releases all around.
