5 best games like Days Gone you should play on Xbox

If you’re obsessed with Days Gone—the open-world chaos, intense zombie hordes, and emotional storyline—you’re probably craving more games that hit the same way. Sadly, Days Gone never made it to Xbox, but don’t stress. Here are 5 epic Xbox alternatives like Days Gone that will fill the Days Gone void in your heart.

1. State of Decay 2

State of Decay is just like Days Gone but with base-building, resource management, and a whole lot more stress. State of Decay 2 throws you into an open world crawling with the undead, where every choice matters—build a stronghold, scavenge wisely, and try (keyword: TRY) to keep your squad alive. Oh, and permadeath? Yeah, if your favorite survivor bites the dust, they’re gone for good. No pressure.

2. Dying Light 2

If you love the fluid movement of Days Gone but want more verticality, Dying Light 2 is a must-play. It’s got everything—parkour, brutal melee combat, and an open world that actually changes based on your choices. Plus, when the sun sets, the infected go full psycho mode, making every night a heart-pounding sprint for survival.

3. World War Z: Aftermath

Missing Days Gone’s massive hordes? World War Z: Aftermath cranks that up to 100. Inspired by the Brad Pitt movie (yeah, that one), this co-op shooter throws wave after wave of fast, aggressive zombies at you. It’s less about survival horror and more about sheer, adrenaline-pumping action. Bonus: It’s even better with friends.

4. The Evil Within 2

Alright, so this one leans more into psychological horror than all-out zombie warfare, but trust us—it SLAPS. The Evil Within 2 is Days Gone meets Silent Hill, with a nightmarish open world, grotesque creatures, and a wild, twisty story that keeps you on edge the whole time. If you love Days Gone’s darker, emotional beats, this one's for you.

5. Resident Evil 2 (Remake)

Zombies? Check. Limited ammo? Check. Intense, nail-biting horror? CHECK. If you love Days Gone but want a tighter, more cinematic experience, Resident Evil 2 (Remake) is an absolute masterpiece. The atmosphere, the puzzles, and the terrifying encounters with Mr. X will have you sweating bullets. It's survival horror at its peak.

Even though Days Gone is not on Xbox, these five games bring the same post-apocalyptic survival, gripping storytelling, and intense combat as Days Gone. Grab your controller and start slaying. Have you played any of these games before? Let us know in the comments below!
