Summary

PlayStation has quietly doubled the price of Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4 from $20 to $40.
The price increase coincides with the announcement that Zero Dawn is getting a PS5 remaster.
It prevents anyone from buying the PS4 version for $20 and upgrading it for $10 rather than paying $50 for the remaster.

This week's State Of Play was a mixed bag for most. Many were excited by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the prospect of Ghost Of Yotei and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Astro Bot's DLC, but maybe not quite as enamored to learn th🍨e rumors Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a PS5 remaster are true. If you're already mildly annoyed that a still-relatively new game is being remastered, that annoyance will likely be dialed up when you learn the price of the original 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Zero Dawn has qꦦuietly been doubled following ജthe remaster announcement.

, the price of Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4 was $19.99 on the PlayStation Store as recently as Tuesday, the day that the remaster was officially announced. However, if you go to the PlayStation Store to buy it now, you will find that the price has been increased to $39.99. There's a very good, albeit what feels like an underhanded reason for that, and it's not because 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation think👍s people will be flooding to its store to buy the original game a little more than a month a🦋fter the remaster is released.

The most likely reason PlayStation has doubled the price of Zero Dawn is to stop people getting the remaster for $10 less than it will retail for. While the PS5 version of Zero Dawn will cost $49.99, if you already own the game on PS4, you will be able to take advantage of its upgrade path. Upgrading the base version to the remaster will cost $9.99. If PlayStation had left Zero Dawn at $19.99, many would have twigged that they c🃏ould buy that version and get the upgrade, effectively bagging the remaster for $29.98.

No Sneakily Buying It For $20 And Getting That $10 Upgrade Next Month

PlayStation has clearly learned from what it likely deems as a mistake it made when it released 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered, another PS5 upgrade for a PS4 game that owners of the original can get for $10. The origin🐽al version of The Last Of Us Part 2 was🃏 available for $20 which meant people bought it and its upgrade for a combined $30 rather than the $50 you had to pay for the PS5 version. That loophole has been q🍃uickly pulled shut when it comes ♏to Zero Dawn.

While there's no silver lining for those who don't already own Zero Dawn, there is good news for those of you who claimed the game through PlayStation's Play At Home initiative. Even though the game was given away for free, the Play At Home vers♛ion of the game will st🐓ill be eligible for the $9.99 PS5 upgrade.
