The full patch notes of 1.6 have also confirmed the same while hinting on additional Death Stranding themed cosmetics and more. One of the most important changes in Days Gone 1.6 is that will also allow players to reset Hordes, Ambush Camps and Infestation Zones.
On the opposite side of the story, Death Stranding is set to launch in a couple of hours, on November 8, and engulf the world with its storyline. Players will have a task to connect a torn-up world together.

Accessibility Features
UI HIGH CONTRAST COLOR MODE
In our push for accessibility, we’ve added UI COLOR MODE to help visibility and contrast in certain HUD elements in Days Gone. When enabling HIGH CONTRAST, certain key HUD elements on the screen will swap color palettes to become easier to see and more visible during the game.
New Linear Option for Aiming
Some of you have requested a linear input curve for Aiming, and we heard you. This will make camera movement more one-to-one with the Right Stick input, instead of using more of the input range for smaller aiming adjustments. You will find this setting in Options->Gameplay->Dead Zone Sensitivity->Linear.
