‘Dying Light’ Receives Performance Update for PS5; Xbox Version Coming Soon
Even after releasing Dying Light on the Epic Games Store last week, Techland has decided to give their open-world zombie epic one more treat in the form of a new-gen update for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. The performance patch is available now for the PS5, with the Xbox Series version coming in a few days.
The update allows players on the PS5 and Xbox Series to select between different graphical modes for Dying Light. Performance mode allows the game to run at a locked 60fps at 1080p, Balanced mode targets 60fps at 1440p, and High-Resolution mode offers up 30fps at 4K resolution. The patch will also give a boost to the PlayStation 4 Pro with an improved 30fps cap.

The sequel to Dying Light, Dying Light 2 (read our take here), is available now on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series. Dying Light 2 will also be coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year.
After releasing its Chapter Two DLC late last year on Steam, Jasozz Games’ throwback FPS CULTIC is finally coming to consoles. Best of all, you won’t have to wait very long, as CULTIC will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23. Accompanying the announcement is a new trailer.
As part of the console release, the Steam version will see an update that will bring with it some of the improvements, optimizations, and bug fixes made during the console port’s development. Solo dev Jason Smith aims to have this update ready to go “around the same time as the console port.”
Released back in 2022 on Steam, CULTIC is inspired by 90s classic shooters, including Blood, Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2, and most notably, Resident Evil 4. The story sees you as a disgraced detective who dug too deeply into a string of grisly crimes. The result sees you dead. However, you’re down but certainly not out. Rising from your grave, you’re out for revenge against hatchet-wielding cultists, armed with an arsenal of mid-century firearms and explosives.
The console release includes the base game, along with the Chapter Two DLC together in a complete edition, featuring a combined 23 maps full of blood, grit, and, of course, cultists. After completing the story, you can also test your skills in the wave-based Survival Mode, which is inspired by Resident Evil 4‘s Mercenaries and Tripwire Interactive’s Killing Floor.
