Zombie enthusiasts, brace yourselvesâthe apocalypse just levelled up! 7 Days to Die has finally received a PS5 upgrade, and itâs bringing enough thrills to raise the dead… well, again.
Whether youâre a seasoned survivor or just now dusting off your crafting skills, this update is the perfect excuse to jump back into the zombie-infested world. So, whatâs new? Letâs dig in (just not too deepâyou never know whatâs buried beneath).

Crisper Graphics: A Feast for Your Eyes (and Not Just for Zombies)
Letâs start with the visuals. The PS5âs shiny new hardware has breathed new lifeâor should I say, deathâinto the 7 Days to Die landscape. Now, every crumbling building, rotting corpse, and ominous sunset is rendered in glorious detail. If youâve ever wanted to admire the grotesque beauty of a post-apocalyptic world, nowâs your chance!

Plus, with enhanced lighting effects, youâll get that extra heart-pounding feeling when the sun goes down and the zombie horde starts crawling out of the woodwork. Itâs almost like theyâre saying, âWelcome to the neighborhood! Can we borrow some… brains?â
Performance: The Only Thing Faster Than the Zombies
Remember when hordes of zombies would come at you like a shambling mess of pixels? Not anymore! The PS5 upgrade has those undead speed demons rushing toward you smoother than ever. With improved frame rates and load times, youâll have no excuse for getting caughtâunless youâre too busy marvelling at the improved graphics. And who could blame you? Check out this 7 Days to Die strategy guide on how to survive the night for newcomers.
But donât worry, itâs not all about running for your life. The game’s improved performance means base-building has never been more satisfying. Whether you’re crafting the ultimate fortress or just a basic shack, you can expect smoother transitions and fewer glitchesâbecause the only thing breaking down should be the zombies, not your game.
Multiplayer Madness: Double the Trouble, Double the Fun
Why face the zombie apocalypse alone when you can drag your friends into the chaos? Multiplayer has gotten a slick upgrade on PS5, making co-op survival smoother and more scream-inducing than ever before. Whether youâre squabbling over supplies, accidentally triggering a horde, or “accidentally” hitting your friend with a club (weâve all been there), itâs all in good fun.

Now, with the PS5âs boosted servers, your multiplayer experience will have fewer lagsâunless you count the time it takes for your friends to respawn. Pro tip: Always carry extra bandages, because friendship is just another resource to exploit in the world of 7 Days to Die.
DualSense Thrills: Feel the Apocalypse
Ever wondered what it feels like to pull back a crossbow while zombies close in from all sides? Well, thanks to the PS5âs DualSense controller, now you donât have to imagine! The adaptive triggers and haptic feedback give you a truly hands-on experienceâwhether reloading your pistol with shaky fingers or building a last-minute barricade while shrieks echo in the distance.
And letâs not forget the little vibrations that give you a very unsettling heads-up when something gnarly is lurking nearby. Consider it your personal, handheld apocalypse radar!
New Features: Zombies Have Evolved (Sort of)

While weâve covered the graphical and technical updates, thereâs also some exciting gameplay news. This update introduces new tweaks to zombie behaviourâyes, theyâve gotten a little smarter (or at least a little sneakier). So donât be surprised if you are outwitted by a brain-dead corpse once or twice. Thatâs just the price of survival!
Plus, new building and crafting options allow you to get even more creative when fortifying your base. After all, if youâre going to spend your post-apocalypse days bashing zombie skulls, you might as well do it from the comfort of a stylish and impenetrable fortress.
Why You Should Play: Zombie Slaying Has Never Been This Fun
Whether youâre returning to 7 Days to Die or experiencing the apocalypse for the first time, the PS5 update makes it all feel fresh again. With smoother gameplay, a gorgeous (if grim) world, and the same old terrifying zombies, itâs a thrilling time to test your survival skills.
So grab your controller, stock up on canned goods (in the game and in real lifeâyou never know), and get ready for seven days of panic, building, and probably more panic. Happy surviving!
