In the US, the game now costs exactly twice as much as it did yesterday.

Right now, the PS4 version of Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is priced at £34.99 / $39.99.

Price history data on the game, gathered by websites such as PSPrices.com, shows that the title was selling at £15.99 / $19.99 before today’s increase.

Physical copies of Horizon Zero Dawn can still be found at a recommended retail price of £15.99 / $19.99 or lower via online retailers like Amazon.

Welcome to the world of digital downloads.

 

[LordCBH]

Used stores have had the physical game for under $10 for a while now.

 

[Radical_3d]

I think that Hulst is at this point acting on a make believe demand that only exists in his dreams.

 

[Bond007]

Enjoy your digital bullshit

 

[Killer8]

I only care about whether the free PS+ version is eligible for the upgrade. Everyone who cared got that free with their PS5 anyway.

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I'm really getting tired of their in-your-face greedy bullshit.

 

[Shtef]

I also noticed it today.

 

[adamsapple]

Expected.. but still..

 

[FeralEcho]

Pure greed

And there will still be people defending Sony when some of us say they've changed for the worst.

[skyfinch]

Amazing. I fucking love it!

 

[Bombolone]

A company needs to recoup costs somewhere (Concord)
A little bit here, a little bit there.

Same. Companies are raking in more profit than they ever have and it's never enough. Feels like everything from necessitates to fun have found ways to fuck us

My energy bills averaged 120-150 and are now 225 minimum and even though I didn't even run the AC more than a few hours each week just to rid my place of humidity in July my bill was nearly 500 fucking dollars!

I'm tired

Just so so tired

And it's not like I don't make decent money either, but it's crazy how I didn't change how much I live in the past year, even spending less, but my checks sure do feel borderline paycheck to paycheck

If anyone ever told me 110K would feel like this I'd say you're crazy

[ChorizoPicozo]

the concord tax is real boys

 

[DenchDeckard]

Wow. Nice moves. They don't give a fuck at this point. Gangsta shiz

 

[Judge Magister]

Absolutely normal due inflation. Just like the Pro. Who disagrees is a peasant.

 

[dragonyeuw]

LMAO

 

[Quantum253]

I also noticed it today.

That Concord tax coming in all ways. Unless they think Horizon will be sold with each PS5 Pro

 

[squidilix]

The remaster is likely 60$

I mean, if you pick the original for 20$, then the remaster cost 30$ (if you add the 10$ extra upgrade)

The true question is who never pick Horizon 1 when the game was litteraly free on PSStore ?

 

[dragonyeuw]

Wow. Nice moves. They don't give a fuck at this point. Gangsta shiz

One single, solitary fuck at that.

 

[GHound]

Imagine increasing the price of a game you gave away to literally anyone with a pulse in 2021.

 

[Hookshot]

LOL, you should have eaten the Concord slop you silly consumers, now you'll have to pay more for things that aren't utter tripe.

 

[IDKFA]

I might actually give up gaming.

This issue seems minor, but it could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I like how physical dinosaurs are spinning this on it being digital but not looking at the real problem which is sony and their greed.

 

[ReBurn]

I got it for ten bucks in the holiday sale. It will go on sale again.

[Skifi28]

Didn't Witcher 3 do the same? seems like a common tactic after a "next-gen" version is released.

They'll grab you for the $40 purchase and then the $10 upgrade so you'll still be paying full price

At this point,slowly but surely a new industry wide crash seems to descend upon us. I give this industry 5 more years before it implodes on itself.

 

[DryvBy]

Don't be tied down to the "digital future" where this will happen more often.

Go physical. Its $20 with the DLC at almost every store.

Nah, worshipping corpos is for foot sloggers

$10 on CdKeys, then another $10 for the upgrade

 

[FrankWza]

I miss arrogant Sony

 

[Bojji]

Looks like arrogant Sony wants everyone know they are back, you can't make this shit up.

 

[Bitstream]

Hah, I just went down this rabbit hole earlier today. Saw the $10 upgrade and figured I'd pick up the original now and then upgrade when it was available, how much could it cost at this point, $10? Its ancient... right?
WRONG.
Bitchass Sony only had it for $40 on the Playstation store.
It was immediately clear why they didn't include a disk drive on the Pro.

 

[sainraja]

I hope this means the upgrade is free for those who already have the game. Stupid move either way.

EDIT
It's $9.99 to upgrade but still stupid... they want people to pay the $50 for the PS5 version instead of finding the old game for cheap and upgrading. It's one thing if people were screaming for an upgraded version to make sure you get back what you invested but no one was asking for this upgrade lol... so you'd think they would be okay with people even paying $9.99. This seems like a silly way to try to get your money back.

It would be lovely if it lasted but those motherfuckers will kill disc drives in consoles in the next few years.

 

[mitch1971]

And there will still be people defending Sony when some of us say they've changed for the worst.

And people will still defend digital.

 

[Punished Miku]

Little Concord tax here, little over there. Sony will be fine.

 

[Z O N E]

That's the Concord tax.

Which begs the question.

Do people who own the 'regular' non complete version and don't own the DLC, do they get the DLC and upgrade in the $10 'upgrade' patch too?
