Days Gone was originally scheduled for a 2018 release but was pushed back until 26th April 2019 before it was released on PS4. A PC version of the game was released on 18th May 2021, and below you can find both the minimum and recommended system requirements for the game, as provided by the publisher. As ever, we would recommend assuming slightly more power is needed, just to be on the safe side.

Days Gone is a third person open-world survival game in which the player takes control of a drifter named Deacon in post-apocalyptic Oregan on a quest to find his wife. The player can craft weapons to fight off the infected ‘freakers’ (zombie type creatures) as well as more conventional human enemies, and can use stealth as well as more direct methods to complete objectives.
Getting Days Gone running on the lower settings at 1080p will require one of our $600 self-builds or something of a similar power. If you fancy turning things up to the max though then a $1,500 build or higher is what you should aim to get.
If you really aren’t interested in building your own computer and you’d rather go with a pre-built option, one of our under $800 PCs should be able to run the game on low settings at 1080p resolution for decent FPS. For the higher resolutions and graphical presets however, you will have to buy a PC like one of our $1,500 pre-builds or higher in order to get respectable FPS performance.
