Days Gone Remastered is set to launch with a $10 upgrade option for PlayStation 5 users. However, this offer is not available for those who redeemed the game through PlayStation Plus. To qualify for the upgrade, players must own a physical disc or a digital copy of the game from the PlayStation 4.
As a result, individuals who accessed Days Gone via the PS Plus subscription will need to pay the full price of $49.99 to upgrade to the remastered version. This decision has sparked frustration among subscribers, many of whom had anticipated a more affordable path to the PS5 upgrade.
The remastered edition was prominently featured during Sony’s recent State of Play showcase, generating significant interest. However, the exclusion of PS Plus users from the $10 upgrade option has led to numerous complaints on social media platforms, including the PlayStation Plus subreddit.
Some users expressed disappointment over the missed opportunity, suggesting that allowing PS Plus players to upgrade could have generated additional revenue for Sony. The sentiment among many is that a lower entry price would encourage more players to try the remastered version.
Despite the backlash, some subscribers noted that they expected this outcome, pointing out that Sony likely calculated the financial implications of this decision. The company faces criticism from fans who were hoping for a more lenient upgrade policy.
