PS Plus Copies of Days Gone Won't Offer Cheap $10 Upgrade to New PS5 Version | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

If you’re one of the millions who redeemed Days Gone as part of your PS Plus subscription all the way back in April 2021, you won’t be eligible for a cheap $10 upgrade to the new PS5 version of the game.

While everyone who purchased Days Gone on the PS4 will be able to upgrade to Days Gone Remastered for the aforementioned price, small print on the PS Blog notes that anyone who claimed the game through Sony’s subscription will be excluded.

PS4 owners can upgrade to PS5 version for $10

As such, you’ll need to pay $49.99 to play this new version of the game, which is its full MSRP on the PS Store.

Personally, we think this is a bit stingy. We can’t imagine many who claimed the game through PS Plus will be willing to stump up $49.99 to play it again, but we bet some of those subscribers would have upgraded for just $10. We’re sure the platform holder’s crunched the numbers, but it feels like there’s more money to be made through the upgrade path.

Either way, it’s not an option, and we can’t see the company changing its stance. Did you claim Days Gone through PS Plus? Will you be getting the remastered version if so? Let us know in the comments section below.

What an absolute rip off....

Not surprising though.

Ehh, I probably would’ve done the $10 upgrade if they allowed the PS+ copies. But I’m not buying a secondhand copy (despite preferring physical) just to upgrade it to play a second time. It would’ve been cool but I’ll wait until it eventually hits PS+ Extra

@CWill97 Like I said in the article, I'm sure they crunched the numbers, but I feel like there must be more people who'd upgrade their PS Plus copy for $10 than would buy it again
