PSA: 'Days Gone' Remastered PS5 Upgrade Now Available for $10

Days Gone Remastered, a highlight of Sony's recent State of Play event, has sparked controversy among PlayStation Plus subscribers due to its $10 upgrade policy.

Sony's $10 upgrade path to the PlayStation 5 remastered version is exclusively available to owners of the PlayStation 4 disc or digital copy of Days Gone. This excludes those who acquired the game through PlayStation Plus, either via the now-defunct PS Plus Collection or the April 2021 Essential monthly offering.

Consequently, PS Plus subscribers must pay the full $49.99 price for the PS5 remaster. This has prompted widespread online complaints from subscribers who expressed willingness to pay the $10 upgrade but will now forgo the game entirely.

A PlayStation Plus subreddit post reflects this sentiment. Users like squarejellyfish_ highlight the potential lost revenue, suggesting many would have paid $10 to try the remaster, even briefly. teckn9ne79 and others echo this, stating they would upgrade for $10 but not at full price. dredizzle99 points out the missed opportunity, believing Sony is losing potential sales from this user base. jackanyon95 criticizes the decision, arguing that the game, even with a remaster, doesn't justify the full price.

Days Gone Remastered wasn't the only PlayStation game unveiled at State of Play. For a complete overview of the February 2025 announcements, consult IGN's State of Play roundup.
