The price of Horizon Zero Dawn on the PlayStation Store has been quietly doubled following Sony’s announcement of its PS5 remaster earlier this week.
Spotted by MP1st, the digital version of Horizon Zero Dawn went from being $20 to now $40, regardless of region. At the moment, this price change affects both the PlayStation and PC versions. The game used to be part of the PS Plus PlayStation Hits lineup, but was removed earlier this year amid rumors of the PS5 remaster during that time.
The remaster costs $50, and those who already own the game on PS4 and PC can upgrade to the PS5 version for $10. It seems like Sony wanted to avoid a situation where players would have gotten the remaster for cheaper. If players bought the digital version at the original $20 price point, then they would only have to pay a total of $30 to play the remaster instead of $50.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered launches on October 31, shortly before the kid-friendly Lego Horizon Adventures. It features re-recorded conversations and graphical improvements, along with accessibility options that were introduced in its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. In GameSpot’s Horizon Zero Dawn review, we said, “Guerrilla Games has delivered one of the best open-world games of this generation, and redefined its team’s reputation in the process.”
