Days Gone Remastered: A $10 Upgrade Controversy for PS Plus Subscribers

Sony's recent State of Play showcase highlighted Days Gone Remastered, but its $10 upgrade policy has sparked outrage among PlayStation Plus subscribers. The $10 upgrade to the PlayStation 5 remaster is exclusively available to those who purchased the PlayStation 4 version, either digitally or on disc. This excludes players who acquired Days Gone through PlayStation Plus, whether via the now-defunct PS Plus Collection or the April 2021 Essential monthly games offering.

This means PS Plus users must pay the full $49.99 price for the PS5 remaster. This decision has fueled a wave of online complaints, with many PS Plus subscribers expressing their willingness to pay the $10 upgrade but now opting to skip the game altogether.

Reddit discussions on the PlayStation Plus subreddit reveal widespread frustration. Users highlight the potential lost revenue from PS Plus subscribers who would have considered the $10 upgrade, even for a short playtime. Several comments echo the sentiment that while they wouldn't purchase the game at full price, the $10 upgrade was a tempting option. Some argue that Sony's decision is short-sighted, considering the game's previous free availability through PS Plus, implying a missed opportunity for additional revenue. One user pointed out that each free PS Plus copy represents a potential $10 loss, accusing Sony of being unnecessarily restrictive.

However, some subscribers suggest Sony likely performed financial analysis justifying this restrictive approach. Despite this, Sony is facing criticism for its perceived stinginess, particularly from dedicated fans who anticipated a more generous offer.

Days Gone Remastered was just one of several PlayStation game announcements during the State of Play. For a comprehensive overview of all announcements, refer to IGN's State of Play February 2025 roundup.
