Horizon Zero Dawn PSN Price Secretly Increased by Sony Following Remastered Announcement

In a surprising move, PlayStation has quietly increased the price of Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition on the PlayStation Store. This price hike follows the recent announcement of a remastered version of the game during the State of Play event.

The cost of Horizon Zero Dawn has doubled from $19.99 to $39.99 on the PlayStation Store, a significant jump from its previous price. This change affects only the PlayStation Store version (regardless of region, it seems), while the PC edition remains unchanged. For players who already own the game, there is an option to upgrade to the remastered version for $10 on both PS5 and PC, allowing them to enjoy the enhanced edition without paying the full price.

Originally part of Sony’s PlayStation Hits lineup—a collection of games usually priced at $20—the sudden increase has raised eyebrows, especially since all the other games in the PlayStation Hits series are still available at their normal prices.

Players looking to buy the game at its original price may still find physical copies available through online retailers. However, for those who prefer digital versions, the higher price may be their only option. We’ve reached out to Sony for a comment on this, and if we hear anything back, we’ll update the article with the info.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will be available for $49.99 when it launches on October 31, 2024.
