Dying Lightcame out more than 7 years ago on PS4, Xbox One, and PC to a mixed-to-positive reception. Developer Techland released a full sequel namedDying Light 2 Stay Humanlast month, which also received similar reviews from most critics. However,Dying Light 2was a much bigger hit than the original, and it passed 3 million players in its opening weekend.
Techland had previously confirmed that the originalDying Lightwill get a next-gen upgradeon PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Techland has now released a patch for the game on PlayStation consoles and shared details on the graphics modes that come with this update. It should be noted that this update is simply a patch for the PS4 version of the game that will utilize more of the PS5’s power, instead of a native PS5 app.

The official Twitter account forDying Lightstates that a next-gen patch is available on PlayStation devices, with improvements to both the visual quality and the gameplay experience. The update adds 3 different graphics options when playing on a PS5. Quality mode runs at 30 FPS in full 4K, while Performance mode seemingly offers a locked 60 FPS experience at full HD. Techland has also added a Balance mode that targets 60 FPS at QHD, but it looks like the frame rate will not be as stable as the other two modes.
The update improves the 30 FPS cap on the PS4 Pro and also adds networking capabilities that utilize Epic Online Services. Techland then confirms that Xbox users will also get this update relatively soon. In a follow-up Tweet, the developer states that this update is solely forDying Light, and a newpatch forDying Light 2 Stay Humanis coming soon. Since Techland is not releasing a full PS5 version ofDying Light, it probably means that the game will not make full use of the power inside the PS5.
Many fans are asking about the new patch forDying Light 2in the replies to this tweet. It looks likeDying Light 2is filled with significant bugs, and some users are still waiting for Techland to add an FOV slider to the game. Many users reported feeling motion sick while playingDying Light 2, and some also had problems with the co-op implementation. Hopeflly, Techland can solve these issues as soon as possible.
Dying Lightis now available on PC, PS4, Switch, and, Xbox One.
