Sony has doubled the price of PlayStation 4 game Horizon: Zero Dawn following the reveal of its PS5 remaster.
Eurogamer spotted the price rise in the UK (from £15.99 to £34.99) but the price also rose in the U.S., jumping from $19.99 to $39.99 on the PlayStation Store.
Horizon: Zero Dawn has been at the previous price point for years as part of the PlayStation Hits collection, and other entries such as God of War and The Last of Us Remastered have remained at the typical $19.99 price.
I honestly don’t understand why they didn’t go the other direction and make this game free with a PS5 Pro purchase. It’s super old and the remaster could be a great tech demo.
I guess people will buy it anyways, so there we go.
I already have it free from a psplus monthly, same with the sequel. They’ve given these games away to subscribers before so I don’t s how raising the price will bring in new players
