PlayStation Doubles Price Of Horizon Zero Dawn After Remaster Announcement

If you plan on picking up a copy of Horizon Zero Dawn in preparation for the launch of the remaster, get ready to pay a higher price.

Earlier this week, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was announced during PlayStation State of Play. The game, set to release for PlayStation 5 (PS5) and PC, brings updates to visuals and performance.

For those that currently own the original Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4, the upgrade will cost you just $9.99/£9.99. But if you expected to get a copy of the game from the PlayStation Store now before upgrading, you will to be paying more than you would have just days ago.

First spotted by GamePittReviews and verified by Insider Gaming, Sony has quietly raised the price of Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition on the PlayStation Store. For the better part of the last six years, the game had been $19.99/£15.99 on the PlayStation Store. However, as of September 25, the price has jumped up to $39.99/£34.99 on the store, doubling its cost.

With the price increase, that would put the cost of getting Remaster version of the game at $49.99/£45.99 instead of $29.99/£25.99 if you were to buy new from the PlayStation Store. The price increase seems to just be at the PlayStation Store as you can still get the physical version of the game from stores like GameStop for $19.99 as of writing. You can also find it on the second-hand market even cheaper if it’s something you want to look for.

Insider Gaming has reached out to PlayStation for comment on the price increase.

After announcing Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered at State of Play, PlayStation has doubled the price of the original game on the PS Store.

I don't care about this game or the others getting the treatment, I'm not getting a pro but my point is Sony used to be a good company or maybe I just didn't know they were bad, times are different. They've been disappointing me lately with just about everything and it seems like whatever they do at whatever the price, everyone has their wallet ready, feeding into their bullshit which makes Sony probably think they can do a lot of shit no matter what. Just my thoughts, I'm tired of their shit.

10 dollars/euro's for the upgrade, I thought that was great. Think this is a bit of a d move. Not doing themselves favors with this and the mess about the Pro without disc drive and stand 😑

To be fair they did gift this game for FREE during COVID.

There's probably not a lot of players that doesn't own the game at this point but still this is just another smh moment for Sony.

In the first place $10 upgrades for crossgen upgrades are already IMO 👎

I mean look at Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, etc. so many other great games that does not ask for additional pay for the dual entitlement.

It's good that whoever wanted to play Horizon played without waiting for this remastered... which doesn't make a big difference.

I'm fine with it. It's the "slackers" tax for those who didn't play the game already after it was free/very cheap for so long.
