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

Days Gone Remastered, a highlight of Sony's recent State of Play event, has sparked controversy among PlayStation Plus subscribers due to its $10 upgrade policy. Sony's confirmation that the upgrade is exclusive to owners of the PlayStation 4 disc or digital version excludes those who acquired the game through PS Plus.

This means PS Plus users, including those who accessed Days Gone via the now-defunct PS Plus Collection or its April 2021 Essential offering, must pay the full $49.99 for the PS5 remaster. This pricing detail has ignited a wave of online complaints from disgruntled subscribers.

The PlayStation Plus subreddit, for instance, is flooded with comments from users expressing their willingness to pay the $10 upgrade but now opting to skip the game altogether. Many argue that Sony missed out on significant revenue by excluding PS Plus users. One user, squarejellyfish_, noted the potential for substantial additional income, even if only a fraction of PS Plus owners chose to upgrade. Other comments echo this sentiment, highlighting the missed opportunity and expressing disappointment with Sony's perceived stinginess.

While some PS Plus subscribers understand Sony's likely cost-benefit analysis behind this decision, the company is facing criticism for a perceived lack of generosity. The situation underscores the ongoing debate surrounding the value proposition of game subscriptions and upgrade policies for digitally-acquired titles.

Beyond Days Gone Remastered, State of Play showcased other new PlayStation games. For a complete overview of the February 2025 announcements, consult IGN's State of Play roundup.
