Now that Days Gone has been out for a little while, the patches that were released shortly after release have slowed down a bit. In fact, it has been over two weeks since the last notable update from Bend Studio arrived. That said, a new content has popped up, which is now available to players for free, and it includes a plethora of goodies for all to enjoy. Among the new and shiny things for players to enjoy is a harder difficulty mode, the beginning of a series of challenges, and even a few bug fixes to hopefully resolve some issues that players have been experiencing.

As can be seen in the video above, the new Days Gone patch adds the Survival Difficulty, which will make enemies deadlier, brings an immersive HUD with it, disables Fast Travel, and much more. In addition to the harder difficulty, some progression issues have been fixed as well as some bugs. You can check out the full patch notes from Bend Studio below.
