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

The recent PlayStation State of Play showcase highlighted *Days Gone Remastered*, but its $10 upgrade price tag has sparked controversy among PlayStation Plus subscribers. Sony's confirmation that this discounted upgrade is only available to those who purchased the PlayStation 4 disc or digital version of *Days Gone* has left PS Plus users feeling frustrated.

Since *Days Gone* was previously offered through the now-defunct PS Plus Collection and as an Essential monthly game in April 2021, many subscribers already own the game. These players are now faced with paying the full $49.99 price for the PS5 remaster, a significant increase that's causing backlash online.

The PlayStation Plus subreddit is filled with comments from disgruntled subscribers. Many express their willingness to pay the $10 upgrade fee, but are unwilling to purchase the game at full price. Several users highlight the potential missed revenue for Sony, suggesting that many PS Plus owners would have been willing to pay the smaller amount, even for a brief playthrough.

“They would actually have made a decent chunk of change if PS Plus players were eligible, even if most didn’t want to play it they’d at least be interested in paying 10 bucks to try it out for an hour or two,” noted one user, squarejellyfish_. Others echoed this sentiment, emphasizing their willingness to pay the upgrade fee but not the full game price.

While some PS Plus subscribers understand Sony's likely financial motivations behind this decision, many are criticizing the company's perceived stinginess. The situation highlights a disconnect between Sony's business strategy and the expectations of some of its loyal fans.
