The Days Gone 1.07 update patch notes have been released by SIE Bend Studio. The new Days Gone update went live today and brings a wealth of fixes to various bugs and glitches. Find out more about the Days Gone 1.07 patch notes, including its file size, with our guide.
Days Gone 1.07 Update
File Size
The Days Gone 1.07 update’s file size is the same as it was for the 1.06 update. That is to say that it’ll take up 136MB of space on your HDD to download. This is nothing in comparison to the 500GB or 1TB HDDs that come with PS4 consoles these days.
Providing you have a decent enough internet connection too, you’ll be able to download this in no time. It shouldn’t take longer than five minutes to download, and only a couple more to be installed. You can wait a bit to play it, can’t you?
Days Gone 1.07 Update Patch Notes | PS4 Pro hard crash fix
The Days Gone 1.07 update is thought to bring a number of general fixes to the survival horror shooter. As we mentioned in our 1.06 update guide yesterday, these general fixes should help iron out a few kinks that players were finding problematic. They include auto-save issues, audio problems, and difficult settings carrying over to your save files.
The biggest fix accompanying the 1.07 update, though, is certainly going to be the PS4 Pro hard crash issue. Multiple players complained about the game’s Reddit page that their console kept crashing when playing Days Gone. Some had suspected it was a hardware problem but, after trying other PS4 games, the issue was reserved only for Days Gone.
Bend Studio’s support team took to Reddit to apologize for the inconvenience and pulled the 1.06 update just a few hours after it had gone live. The 1.07 update will look to address the PS4 Pro hard crash problem and, judging by the lack of complaints since it went live, it seems to have fixed it.

Days Gone's Zombie Waves and 10 other undead innovations
Upon the airing of its first E3 showcase, Days Gone picked up steam for one reason: zombie waves crashing against the ground, flowing as one solid mass of undead fury. While there have been lots of zombie games, the quality example atop the pile run with unique hooks that set them apart from the competition. Here are some examples. -
Dead Rising
A generation ago, just the sheer number of slow zombies in Dead Rising was enough to raise eyebrows. The fact that they existed as a barrier for Frank West rather than a real threat was also innovative. He couldn't stop the invasion, he could only hop on their heads and move around them. -
Left 4 Dead
The special zombies are what sets Left 4 Dead's horde apart from the others. From the explosive Boomer to the destructive Witch, these player-controllable mini-bosses created a new style of co-op fun that games like Vermintide 2 are still riffing on to this day. -
Plants vs. Zombies
Even though zombies are inherently representative of a lot of humanity's fears, that doesn't mean we can't laugh at them. Plants vs. Zombies cast the undead as a comedic obstacle to overcome, a kid-friendly strategy that has led to several successful spinoffs. -
Telltale's The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead is about using zombies as a metaphor in all its forms, and especially in Telltale's seasons-long story adaption. Acting as a looming threat throughout the saga, zombies here aren't the focus, they're just the cause for the chaos. -
Zombie Night Terror
Zombie games can be in any genre, even ones not typically prone to the type of violent gore that these characters generation. Zombie Night Terror is a puzzle game similar to Lemmings, only you're controlling undead walkers instead of cute green-haired creatures. -
Atom Zombie Smasher
Another strategic take on the undead is Atom Zombie Smasher, which is a top-down tactics game where you're trying to evacuate citizens from the map as the swarm closes in. With procedurally-generated cities and buildings that crumble, it's a realistic yet abstract take on surviving the apocalypse. -
Undead Horde
Sometimes, you just want to cause the apocalypse instead of surviving it. Undead Horde has you causing the end of the world by summoning zombies and overtaking villages in a medieval countryside. It's a zombie real-time strategy game if you will, although with fun material gathering. -
They Are Billions
Or, if you want to strategize on the other side of things, you get the ominously titled They Are Billions. It's another unstoppable horde, and you just have to hold them off with your building skills. It's like the circle in a battle royale, only with more teeth and claws. -
Stubbs The Zombie
Back to comedy, no game has successfully captured playing as the undead quite like Stubbs The Zombie. You rip your limbs off to perform moves, you feast on brains and you've got a retro vibe to revel in. Bowling for zombie heads anyone? -
Sunset Overdrive
Zombies don't even have to be the "undead." The zombie mutants from Sunset Overdrive turned due to a soda laced with unfortunate chemicals. It leads to some creative designs, showing that if zombies are here to stay, we can at least get some variety in.
