PlayStation 5's Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster Price Hike Sparks Debate

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Price Increase Explained

In breaking games news, it was confirmed that Sony has significantly increased the price of Horizon Zero Dawn shortly after unveiling its remaster for PlayStation 5. This remaster, praised for its enhanced graphics and 10 hours of newly recorded motion capture, is available to players who own the original game for a mere $9.99. However, within minutes of the remaster's announcement, the complete edition's digital price ballooned to $34.99, shocking many fans who anticipated a smoother upgrade path.

How to Secure Horizon Zero Dawn at a Discount

For those hoping to purchase Horizon Zero Dawn at an affordable price, the best option now appears to be locating a physical copy. Historically, the Complete Edition was offered at around $15.99, but that has changed dramatically. With digital prices soaring, owning a physical version for around $14.99 on platforms like Amazon could be a wise choice. The price manipulation in the digital landscape is reminiscent of past practices by game companies, notably Microsoft with Game Pass pricing.

• Price Increase: Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition price jumped to $34.99.
• Remaster Offers: Upgrade for original owners at only $9.99.
• Physical Copies: Available at competitive prices compared to digital.

The excitement around Horizon Zero Dawn's franchise is palpable, especially with Lego Horizon Adventures launching this autumn. However, Sony's strategy of increasing prices amidst remaster announcements could backfire as gamers feel the pinch.
