Sony Hikes "Horizon Zero Dawn" Price as Remastered Version Looms
Sony Adjusts Pricing for Horizon Zero Dawn Ahead of Remaster Release
In a surprising move, Sony has increased the price of “Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition” following the announcement of its remastered version. The price adjustment, which took effect on September 25th, saw the game’s cost double from $20 to $40.
The change was first noticed by @GamePittReviews, who shared the discovery on social media. This price hike comes just one day after Sony revealed plans for “Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered,” initially suggesting a $20 purchase with a $10 upgrade fee for existing owners.
For those who already own a copy of the game, the upgrade to the remastered version will still be available for $10. This option applies to both disc and digital copies, extending to PlayStation and PC users alike. However, new players will now face a $50 price tag for the remastered edition, available on the PlayStation Store, Steam, and Epic Game Store.
Budget-conscious gamers still have alternatives to save money. Purchasing an old disc copy or finding a PC key before stocks deplete could provide a more economical route to experiencing the remastered version.
It’s worth noting that the original PS4 disc copy remains compatible with the new version, provided users have a PlayStation console with a disc drive. The remastered edition promises stunning new visuals and enhanced features, as showcased in the recently released announcement trailer.
As the gaming community reacts to this unexpected price adjustment, all eyes are on Sony for any further developments or explanations regarding the pricing strategy for “Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.”
