Overview

  • The Retouched update boosts texture sharpness and increases the maximum level of detail range from 260% to 340%, while adding physics-based lighting and new 8K Ultra shadow quality for deeper environmental visuals.
  • Composer Paweł Blaszczak remastered the entire soundtrack, recorded on tape for an authentic retro feel, and wove in new tracks, ambient sounds and juiced-up combat audio effects.
  • Players can download the free update on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S without needing new hardware, though the extent of improvements may vary by platform.
  • Development involved years of manual asset work, with lead 3D artist Krzysztof Knefel’s team hand-retexturing every map element to optimize quality and performance.
  • The patch kicks off Techland’s Summer Of Dying Light support ahead of the August launch of Dying Light: The Beast, reinforcing the studio’s ongoing commitment to the series.
