- Balanced Mode targeting 60 FPS in QHD
- Quality Mode with 30 FPS with 4K Resolution
PlayStation 4 Pro
- Improved the 30 FPS Cap on PS4 Pro

These next-gen upgrades will also be coming to the Xbox versions of Dying Light, but no release date for the Xbox Series X|S upgrade patch has been given at this time. It is nice to see that despite Techland being busy making DLC for Dying Light 2, it took the time to update the original title so that modern fans can enjoy it alongside the sequel.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is the long-awaited sequel to 2015's Dying Light, and expands the open-world, free-running, zombie-slaying action-adventure game to all-new heights and ambitions. Dying Light 2 is massive, with a huge world filled with hundreds of hours of content.
