Death Stranding Meets Days Gone In Amazing Crossover We Never Knew We Needed

Video game crossovers can be some of the coolest moments for fans when two of their favorite IP’s come together in a magical way. Then sometimes two games come together and you wonder, “how the hell did this happen but this is pretty cool”. This is certainly the best way to describe the Death Stranding crossover that will be coming to Days Gone with patch 1.60 that is now live. In a short video released on Sony Bends Twitter they revealed that you will be able to get a Death Stranding themed gas tank in the games latest patch. But it doesn’t stop there, you will also be able to get a BB pod themed gas tank, so now even Deacon can have his own little BB. While this crossover is a little odd, it is a great way to promote both the release of Death Stranding tomorrow, as well as a big final patch for Days Gone.

Accessibility Features

UI HIGH CONTRAST COLOR MODE (CONFIRM)

In our push for accessibility, we’ve added UI COLOR MODE to help visibility and contrast in certain HUD elements in Days Gone. When enabling HIGH CONTRAST, certain key HUD elements on the screen will swap color palettes to become easier to see and more visible during the game.

New Linear Option for Aiming

Some of you have requested a linear input curve for Aiming, and we heard you. This will make camera movement more one-to-one with the Right Stick input, instead of using more of the input range for smaller aiming adjustments. You will find this setting in Options->Gameplay->Dead Zone Sensitivity->Linear.

Our team will continue to identify and resolve major bugs if needed in future patches.
