Days Gone PS4 Patch 1.21

Patch 1.21 for Days Gone is available to download now on PlayStation 4, and it weighs in at a rather large 18.5GB. This one's actually a pretty big deal, too, as it adds weekly DLC challenges to the open world title. The first is named 'Surrounded', and it tasks you with surviving for as long as you can against an endless horde of freakers. Do well enough, and you can earn rewards like new characters, accents, and rings. Sounds pretty interesting. The challenges will also come with their own Trophies.

On top of that, the update fixes a few annoying little issues that players have been keen to point out. For starters, picking up weapons off the ground is now mapped to the triangle button, which is a more than welcome tweak. You can find the full patch notes below.
