Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster Reveal Raises Game Prices

Horizon Zero Dawn Digital Price Surge

After the Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered announcement, many players noticed that the original game’s price on the digital storefront jumped significantly. Previously priced at $19.99/£15.99, it has now escalated to $39.99/£34.99. This price increase coincided with the PlayStation State of Play event on September 24, which featured various exciting reveals.

Upgrade Costs and Alternatives

The upgrade to the PS5 version of Horizon Zero Dawn will cost those who already own the original PS4 game just $9.99. However, for new players, the total cost to access this remastered version is $49.99/£45.99. Without the increased original price, it would have merely been $29.99/£25.99.

  • Used copies of Horizon Zero Dawn are still available at local game shops.
  • New physical copies remain at the original price of $19.99 at retailers like GameStop and Walmart.

While the upgrade promises enhanced graphics and performance, players are expressing concerns about Aloy's character model in the remaster compared to previous visuals. The community’s response is still developing as fans share their thoughts online, and a developer has already responded to the criticism.
