Cross-platform and cross-gen console co-op won’t be up at launch, though
Dying Light 2 Stay Humanis right around the corner, and those picking it up on older consoles won’t need to worry about buying it again when they upgrade. Techland confirmed today that both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will have free upgrades available to their next-gen console counterparts.
So if you buyDying Light 2on PlayStation 4 and manage to get a PS5 down the line, there will be a free upgrade. Same goes for Xbox, whereDying Light 2will have Smart Delivery for Xbox Series X|S. Though thishas come up once in the past, Techland confirming it just ahead of launch is good news for those who still haven’t nabbed a next-gen console.
Techland confirmed a few other tidbits about the new game, too.Dying Light 2will be fully playable in co-op, aside from the prologue. All session guests, a.k.a. players, keep their acquired items and progression, and choices can be voted on by the players in the session, though the host has final say.
Cross-platform and cross-gen console co-op will not be available at launch, however. Hopefully with that wording, it means that those features are part of Techland’splanned long-term supportforDying Light 2. There will be cross-play between the Steam and Epic Games Store versions at launch, though.
Dying Light 2is set to launch soon, aftergoing through several delays. And though the Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as PC, are set to arrive in February, the Switch cloud version won’t launchuntil later on this year. Once it does arrive however, it sounds like there will beplenty of content to sift through.
Well, gear up folks. It’s about time for the big February games rush, and Techland’s leading the charge.Dying Light 2Stay Humanlaunches on PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic on Jun 02, 2025.
