Dying Light PC Performance Review

Company: Techland

Date: March 5th, 2015

Introduction, test setup, requirements

Dying Light released back in January and while a great PC port by most accounts (see our tech review), some players complained of poor performance and other issues. Developer Techland has since released numerous patches addressing all this, and so with that in mind, we take a hard look at the game's performance today.

Test Setup

Unless stated otherwise, all performance measurements were recorded while using maximum in-game settings (On/High in all cases, except where Very High was possible). View Distance was maxed out, and V-Sync was turned off.
