Horizon Zero Dawn’s Remaster Means OG Version Is More Expensive

The recently announced PS5 remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn arrives subsequent month. And if you happen to already personal the OG model on PS4, you possibly can improve for simply $10. Nevertheless, if you happen to have been fascinated with shopping for the previous PS4 model now so you possibly can pay the small improve charge and avoid wasting cash on that remaster, nicely, you waited too lengthy, as a result of Sony has doubled the value on the unique sport to cease anybody from doing that.

On September 24 throughout the newest State of Play, Sony formally introduced Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered, confirming rumors and an earlier ESRB leak. This new remastered model of the 2017 post-apocalyptic open-world sport options newly recorded dialogue and a ton of visible enhancements. It arrives October 31 for PS5 and PC and can value $50. In the meantime, the unique sport beforehand solely value $20 on the PSN retailer. However that worth has doubled now as Sony makes positive you possibly can’t save any cash by buying the previous model and utilizing the cheaper improve path.

As spotted by Eurogamer, Sony has quietly doubled the value for the digital model of Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4. The 2017 sport beforehand solely value $20, however now prices $40. It seems the price was increased on September 25.

Performing some math, which means if you happen to purchase the PS4 model immediately, after which spend the $10 to improve, you’ll have spent $5o. So that you received’t save any cash doing this. Now, Sony hasn’t formally come out and mentioned, “Oh yeah, we doubled the value on the PS4 model of Horizon so you possibly can’t save $10.” However it’s fairly apparent what’s taking place right here and it’s actually a bit foolish.

If folks need to leap by the hoops of shopping for it on PS4 first after which upgrading to the PS5 model to save lots of $10, who cares? You’re nonetheless earning profits. Or decrease the value of the remaster to $30, so folks don’t get monetary savings however you don’t screw people who need to purchase and play a seven-year-old sport on their PS4.

Fortunately, you possibly can nonetheless discover low cost used bodily copies of Horizon Zero Dawn, and Sony has confirmed that if you happen to personal it on disc you possibly can nonetheless improve for simply $10. You’ll must preserve the disc within the PS5 (and, clearly, have a disc drive) however that’s nonetheless an possibility. And I don’t suppose Sony goes to go round with a sledgehammer smashing up each copy of Horizon Zero Daybreak hanging out in GameStops across the nation. At the least, I’m fairly positive they received’t do this…
