Sony Bend Studio seems to be hard at work at Days Gone and have pushed out another update for the game. This will patch the game to version 1.05 although the lack of patch notes or changelog makes it hard to determine what is fixed with this update.
Days Gone has received a total of three updates within the span of a week since launching on April 26. This is a lot for a game in such a short amount of time, but it feels necessary since some of the biggest criticism that surrounded the launch of the game had to do with its bugs and glitches. It is the first open world game by Sony Bend Studio, so it was also a learning experience for them.

Days Gone is one of the rare first-party exclusives that uses Unreal Engine 4 instead of the studio’s own game engine. Guerrilla Games had their Decima engine which was used for Killzone Shadowfall and Horizon Zero Dawn, Naughty Dog has their own engine and the same applies for most of the big name Sony first-party studios. Sony Bend Studio opted to go for a more mature and robust engine instead of creating their own for Days Gone.
Days Gone update 1.05 is rather small if we compare it to the previous patches. It is under 500 MB and by some reports, it is even less than 200 MB. This is normal for a hotfix type of update, while the last Days Gone update 1.04 was massive and had a download size of more than 13 GB. As a result of this small patch, we can assume this mostly relates to some last minute quick hotfix.

Days Gone subreddit has a thread open for reporting bugs and some of the issues led to people getting stuck in missions, or audio glitches. This hotfix could resolve this issue perhaps, but we aren’t really sure of it due to the lack of Days Gone update 1.05 patch notes. Regardless, it is nice to see that Sony Bend Studio is working on fixing the issues that are currently happening with the game.
