Sony more than doubles price of Horizon Zero Dawn following remaster announcement

Interested in the remaster? It'll come at a larger cost if you don't already own it.

Sony has more than doubled the price of Horizon Zero Dawn in Australia following the announcement of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.

The remastered title will carry an approximate $15 AUD upgrade for those that already own the original. If you don’t already have it in your collection, you might have been tempted to correct that today — you could start playing today, or simply be ready for the new snazzy visuals come 31 October.

The trouble is, Sony’s aware of that too, bumping the PlayStation Store digital price of Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition from $24.95 AUD to a whopping $59.95 AUD within the last two days.

The title has held the base price of $24.95 AUD since 2019, according to PSPrices.com, occasionally dipping lower with sales, or in the case of the PlayStation Play At Home initiative, going totally free.

On Reddit, the move seems mixed — some are criticising the company for trying to cash in, while others say Zero Dawn is good value even at a doubled price. While that latter group is absolutely insane, there’s one thing everyone seemingly agrees on: second-hand physical discs are the way to go in this instance, with copies likely far below the $59.95 AUD mark. Just remember that you’ll need a PS5 with a disc drive to be able to take advantage.

Horizon Zero Dawn is currently available on Windows PC, PS4, and PS5. Remastered heads to PC and PS5 on 31 October.
