The game’s recently announced remaster for PS5 will arrive next month. And should you already own the OG version on PS4, you possibly can upgrade for just $10. However, should you were considering buying the old version on PS4 now in order that you might pay the small upgrade fee and avoid wasting money on the remaster, well, you’ve got waited too long because Sony has doubled the price of the original game in order that nobody can do it.

On September 24, during the latest State of Play, Sony officially announced confirming the rumors and the earlier leak from the ESRB. This recent, remastered version of the 2017 post-apocalyptic open world game features newly recorded dialogue and a number of visual improvements. The premiere will happen on October 31 on PS5 and PC and can cost $50. Meanwhile, the original game previously cost only $20 on the PSN store. However, that price has now doubled as Sony makes sure you possibly can’t lower your expenses by buying the old version and taking the cheaper upgrade route.

As he noticed Sony has quietly doubled the price of the digital version on PS4. The 2017 game previously only cost $20, but now it’s $40. It looks like the price was raised on September twenty fifth.

Doing the math, that means should you buy the PS4 version today after which spend $10 to upgrade, you may spend $50. So you will not save any money on this. Now Sony hasn’t officially come out and said, “Oh yeah, we’ve doubled the price of the PS4 version, so you can’t save $10.” But what’s happening here is pretty obvious, and truthfully, it’s type of silly.

If people need to buy the game on PS4 first after which upgrade to the PS5 version and save $10, who cares? You’re still being profitable. Or lower the price of the remaster to $30 so that individuals don’t lower your expenses, but don’t screw over individuals who need to buy and play a game from seven years ago on their PS4.

Fortunately, you possibly can still find low-cost used physical copies and Sony has confirmed that if you have got this version on disc, you possibly can still upgrade for just $10. You’ll need to keep the disc in your PS5 (and in the drive, after all), but that is still an option. And I do not think Sony is going to go around with a sledgehammer and smash every copy of hanging out at GameStops across the country. At least I’m sure they will not…
