PlayStation has doubled the price of Horizon Zero Dawn following the remaster announcement

Following
the
announcement
that

Horizon
Zero
Dawn
is
getting
remastered
this
October,
PlayStation
has
raised
the
price
of
the
PS4
edition
of
the
game.

Price
tracker
PSPrices.com
keeps
tabs
on
the
cost
of
thousands
of
games,

and
according
to
its
data
Horizon
Zero
Dawn
Complete
Edition
has
cost
a
stable
£15.99$19.99
on
PSN
since
mid-way
through
2019.
The
only
time
that
price
has
changed
was
whenever
the
game
would
go
on
sale
which
would
typically
drop
the
price
to
£7.99/$9.99.

That
is,
until
now.
Following
the
reveal
of
Horizon
Zero
Dawn
Remastered
and
the
announcement
that
existing
owners
of
the
PS4
game
will
be
able
to
upgrade
for
$10
(UK
pricing
has
not
been
confirmed),
the
price
of
Horizon
Zero
Dawn
Complete
Edition
has
leapt
up
to
£34.99/$39.99
on
PSN.
That’s
just
over
double
what
it
cost
previously.

The
good
news
is
that
you
can
still
pick
up
the
physical
version
of
the
game
for

£15.99
on
Amazon.
Sadly
the
price
on

Amazon
US
reflects
the
PSN
price
at
$39.99,
but
there’s
always
Ebay.

The
reasoning
is
pretty
simple:
Sony
didn’t
want
a
massive
influx
of
people
rushing
to
buy
the
game
for
£15.99/$19.99
so
they
could
then
get
the
Remastered
version
for
a
total
of
$29.99.
Now,
you’ll
need
to
pay
$39.99
to
buy
then
game,
then
pay
$10
for
the
upgrade
which
will
bring
the
total
price
to
$49.99,
which
just
so
happens
to
be
RRP
of
Horizon
Zero
Dawn
Remastered.
