PSA: Days Gone Remastered $10 PS5 Upgrade Not Available for Game Redemptions via PS Plus

Author : Simon Mar 17,2025

Days Gone Remastered was a highlight of Sony's recent State of Play showcase, but its $10 upgrade price tag has sparked controversy among PlayStation Plus subscribers. Sony confirmed this upgrade, to the PlayStation 5 remastered version, is only available to those who originally purchased the PlayStation 4 version—either digitally or on disc. This excludes those who acquired Days Gone through PlayStation Plus, leaving them with a $49.99 price tag for the PS5 remaster.

Days Gone's availability on the now-defunct PS Plus Collection and as an Essential monthly game in April 2021 is the source of the frustration. Many PS Plus subscribers have taken to online forums, like the PlayStation Plus subreddit, to express their disappointment. They readily admit they would have paid the $10 upgrade fee, but now plan to skip the remastered version entirely.

"They would have made a decent chunk of change if PS Plus players were eligible," commented squarejellyfish\_, highlighting the potential lost revenue. teckn9ne79 echoed this sentiment, stating they'd pay $10 but not the full price. Similar sentiments of frustration and lost potential sales were shared by dredizzle99 and jackanyon95, the latter pointing out that Sony essentially gave away the game for free previously, only to create this restrictive upgrade path. Many feel the game didn't even require a remaster.

While some PS Plus subscribers understand Sony's likely financial calculations behind this decision, the company is still facing criticism for its perceived stinginess. This has led to some hardcore fans expressing disappointment over the lack of generosity from PlayStation.

Days Gone Remastered wasn't the only PlayStation game revealed at State of Play. For a complete rundown of the February 2025 announcements, check out IGN's State of Play February 2025 roundup.
