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.
The price rise comes just days after Sony announced a remaster of the seven-year-old game at its 2024 State of Play broadcast alongside a friendly $9.99 upgrade price for those who own it already. The game otherwise costs $49.99, so the price rise is essentially to stop players buying it for $19.99 on PS4 and paying another $9.99 to upgrade.
This comes after Sony pulled Horizon: Zero Dawn from the PlayStation Plus Extra Games Catalog in May. The 2017 game has therefore gone from free for subscribers to $19.99 and now $39.99 in the last four months, or $49.99 for those wanting the best version.
The PS5 version of Horizon: Zero Dawn arrives October 31 with 10 hours of re-recorded dialogue and visual enhancements.
