　　DAYS GONE ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS

　　We at Bend Studio have been working on implementing a variety of accessibility options to make the game more accessible for all players. With the release of Patch 1.3, we have officially started to rollout our new accessibility options.

　　In Patch 1.3, we have added the following options:

　　INVERTED HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL CAMERA CONTROLS

　　While Days Gone did have the option to invert the Vertical Camera, there was no option to invert the Horizontal Camera as well. Now the player can invert both the Vertical and Horizontal cameras.

　　CAMERA FOLLOW TRACKING

　　Camera Follow Tracking was an option in Days Gone, but it wasn’t fully working as intended. Non-aiming cameras didn’t always automatically follow the player, especially if an enemy was in close proximity. Now, this option should be fixed. Enabling Camera Follow Tracking will now allow the camera to slowly follow the player when turning.

　　DISABLE CONTROLLER SPEAKERS

　　Previously, the only way to turn off the DualShock™ 4 controller speakers was via the PlayStation® 4 system menu. We’ve added the option to disable the controller speakers from within the game. Doing so will reroute the audio through the player’s normal audio output device.

　　SUBTITLE SIZE

　　To make subtitles easier to read, we’ve added the ability to adjust the size of the subtitles. The options are small (default), medium, and large.

　　SUBTITLE BACKGROUND

　　On top of adjusting subtitle size, the player can now change the subtitle background by making it transparent or disabling the background entirely.

　　SUBTITLE SPEAKER NAMES

　　By default, we always display the speaker’s name in front of the subtitle. Now, we’ve added the ability to disable the speaker name from appearing in front of the subtitles.

　　REPEATED BUTTON PRESSES

　　We shipped our game with repeated button presses for our grapple events. We have now added the option to change the tap to a hold. Now, players can hold the required button for a certain amount of time to complete the same events.

　　REPEATED BUTTON SIZE

　　The size of our repeated button icons can also be small, especially for players further away from their screens. We added an option for the player to adjust the size of repeated button icons, from small (default), to medium, to large.

　　EASIER SPRINT ACTIVATION

　　We relaxed how far the left analog stick had to be pressed before activating sprint, making it feel much more responsive.

　　This is only the beginning of our push for more and better accessibility features in Days Gone. We’re still working on trying to implement more options, and will be rolling them out in the coming months. We’ll keep you updated as we work on and roll out additional features.
