What is Infinity Mode and how to unlock it in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster?

The story of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is set in a fictional place called Willamette, Colorado, where you must rescue multiple survivors trapped inside a shopping complex. When you first start Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, you will be greeted with just one game mode: 72-Hour Mode. While it offers an authentic Dead Rising experience, two additional modes can be unlocked for extra replayability and challenge - Overtime Mode and Infinity Mode.

Note that unlocking both modes requires you to meet certain conditions in the 72-Hour Mode. That said, this article will walk you through on how to unlock Infinity Mode in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

After Overtime Mode, Infinity Mode is the second unlockable mode in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. It can be unlocked by finishing the game in 72-Hour Mode and Overtime Mode.

In this mode, you need to survive the Willamette Mall for a set amount of time by eating food and defeating multiple waves of Zombies, Survivors, and Psychopaths. Frank’s health will continue to decrease over time, so you need to find food around the mall to maintain it, all while avoiding Zombies and Psychopaths.

Moreover, shops don’t offer an infinite supply of food in this game mode, meaning there’s only a limited food supply for you to get by. That said, you can still obtain more food and healing supplies by killing various enemies that spawn throughout the map.

The remaster also brings some quality-of-life changes over the original. For example, you can now save your progress and quit the Infinity Mode run at any time. This is a major improvement over the original, as the latter must be completed in one sitting. Frank can now also access his watch and camera to keep up with how much time is left before the run is complete.
