The original Dying Light has been updated on PS5 with what developer Techland is calling the “next-gen upgrade”, bringing it right up to date with modern enhancements.
This upgrade adds multiple new options for both PS5 and PS4 Pro, while the Xbox upgrade is apparently due in “just a few days” according to a press release. On PS5, there are three new video modes for Dying Light, with performance mode offering a full 60FPS refresh rate in “Full HD”. There’s also a balanced mode which targets 60FPS in “QHD”, which stands for “quad high-definition”, which is essentially a standard between 1080p and 4K. It’s basically 2K or 1440p.
The final PS5 mode is high-resolution, which makes the game run at 30FPS but with a 4K resolution. All of these modes will be the same on Xbox Series X when the upgrade hits there in a few days.
The PS4 Pro mode is fairly simple, as it just adds an improved 30FPS cap, while the Xbox Series S and Xbox One consoles will be getting a performance mode offering 30FPS in full HD, and a high-resolution mode that targets 30FPS in that “QHD” resolution, again.
