Techland can’t share specific details at this time but the Twitter account teases that the development team is listening closely to the PS5 player base ofDying Light 2. Although not directly confirmed by Techland, it appears PS5 players can expect majorupgrades forDying Light 2soon.
Currently, the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions ofDying Light 2include multiple performance settings: Performance, Balanced, and Quality. The Performance mode prioritizes 60fps with minimal input lag at a display resolution of 1080p. Balanced mode aims for a higher resolution at 1440p while targeting 60fps. The third mode, Quality, lowers the frame rate down to 30fps for a true 4K experience.
A 4K 60fps update forDying Light 2could provide the benefits of quality and performance modes in one major upgrade. If the update could be applied to the PS5 version, Techland would likely release similar upgrades for the Xbox Series X/S versions ofDying Light 2to maintain parity on the latest hardware. The upgrade would boost excitement forDying Light 2as players awaitthe release of story DLCas well.
Techland’s five-year plan is only in its first year, and the developers already released manynew updates forDying Light 2. The development team should continue to build a strong relationship with its player base to encourage steady growth and sales ofDying Light 2for the years to come.
Dying Light 2: Stay Humanis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A Nintendo Switch version releases later this year.
