Everything Included in Dying Light: Platinum Edition
Although Techland has been mostly preoccupied withDying Light 2, the studio was able to release several DLCs that expanded the story of the first game. Luckily for players interested in checking outDying Light: Platinum Edition,the bundle includes all previously released content, includingthe standalone expansion The Following.
For the uninitiated, The Following was released in February 2016, featuring a new story campaign, controllable vehicles, and a new map that equals the size of every map in the main campaign. The Platinum Edition includes smaller expansions and game modes such asBe the Zombie mode, Cuisine and Cargo, Hellraid game mode, and The Bozak Horde.
Apart from the DLCs and extra game modes,Dying Light: Platinum Editionincludes all previously released content such asweapon bundles, outfits, skins, and special items. Among the inclusions is Dying Light’s5th-anniversary bundle that includes a new character outfit, a new buggy paint job, and blueprints for three new weapons: a powerful shotgun, a gas pipe, and a sledgehammer. Below is a list of everything included in the Platinum Edition:
Is There a Free Upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S Players?
Unfortunately,Dying Light: Platinum Editiondoes not include any current-generation console versions of the game. Luckily for owners of new consoles, the PS4 version ofDying Lightis available via backward compatibility to the PS5, and the same is true for Xbox One to Xbox Series X/S.
At the moment, it doesn’t appear that Techland is planning to release current-gen versions ofDying Light. However, given that other games from the PS4 and Xbox One era, such asThe Last of Us 2andStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, have since received current-gen versions, it wouldn’t be impossible for Techland to do the same forDyingLight, though the chances are slimmer with the release of the sequel this year.
Of course, PC players won’t need any upgrade options, so the only thing players on that platform have to decide on is whether to buy the Platinum Edition on Steam or GOG. As far as upgrading to the Platinum Edition from the base version ofDying Light, it appears that players who own the base game must make a separate purchase to access all the content included inDying Light: Platinum Edition. This means that to access all the content released forDying Lightso far, players must shell out $100, or $25 if they can grab the game while it’s on sale for a limited time.
Dying Light: Platinum Editionis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
