Sony has confirmed its $10 upgrade offer for Days Gone Remastered won’t apply to anyone who previously had the game’s PS4 version via PlayStation Plus, disappointing some fans.
Days Gone on PS4 was previously part of the PS Plus Collection, during which time countless subscribers were able to access the game.
But, as has been the case with most previous PlayStation upgrades, anyone who simply played Days Gone via PS Plus will need to pay the full $50 price tag, rather than $10.
“I would’ve payed $10 for the upgrade just to try it out despite the fact that a remaster for this game is not necessary,” wrote AdSevere4623 on reddit, in a lengthy thread full of complaints about the issue.
“CD Projekt Red gives us free Witcher 3 PS5 upgrade so many years after release and Sony charges $50 if you have PS Plus version,” added Mo-Skito.
Of course, this isn’t the first time this situation has occured.
Another game to offer an enhanced PS5 version with a paid-for upgrade is Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Intergrade. And again, you needed to actually own the PS4 version to be eligible. If you simply had access to Rebirth on PS4 via PlayStation Plus, you couldn’t upgrade for less.
