Techland offering refunds to Dying Light 2 PS4 owners after The Beast last-gen port cancelled

Techland is issuing refunds to PS4 owners of Dying Light 2 after cancelling the last-gen version of Dying Light: The Beast. The Beast was originally promised as part of the Dying Light 2 season pass, so players who bought in on PS4 are now left short.

When Dying Light 2 launched, its season pass covered two DLC drops. The first arrived on both PS4 and PS5 as planned. The second evolved into The Beast — eventually released as a standalone game rather than a traditional DLC. PS5 Ultimate Edition owners got access to The Beast as part of that deal, but Techland had previously said it was still working on a PS4 port. That port is now cancelled, triggering the refund offer for affected PS4 players.

Dying Light: The Beast stars Kyle Crane, the protagonist from the original Dying Light, and launched as a standalone title rather than a direct continuation of Dying Light 2's story. Techland has been gradually shifting focus toward current-gen hardware, and the cancellation of the PS4 port fits that pattern — though it stings for players who bought the season pass in good faith on older hardware.

Techland hasn't detailed exactly how the refund process works or what compensation PS4 season pass holders will receive, so affected players should watch for official communication from the studio on that front.
