Days Gone Remastered $10 PS5 Upgrade Unavailable for PS Plus Redemptions

During Sony's recent State of Play showcase, the announcement of *Days Gone Remastered* captured significant attention, but it has also sparked frustration among some PlayStation Plus subscribers due to its $10 upgrade policy. Sony has clarified that the $10 upgrade offer for the PlayStation 5 remastered version is exclusively available to those who own the PlayStation 4 disc or a digital copy of *Days Gone*. Unfortunately, this means that players who redeemed the game through the PS Plus service—whether it was through the now-defunct PS Plus Collection or as an Essential monthly game in April 2021—are not eligible for this discounted upgrade. Instead, they would need to pay the full $49.99 to access the PS5 remastered version.

This decision has led to a wave of discontent among PS Plus subscribers, many of whom have taken to online platforms like the PlayStation Plus subreddit to voice their grievances. A notable thread on the subreddit is filled with comments from users who expressed their willingness to pay the $10 upgrade fee but are now opting out of purchasing the remastered version at full price. Comments from users such as squarejellyfish_, teckn9ne79, dredizzle99, and jackanyon95 highlight a common sentiment that Sony is missing out on potential revenue by not extending the upgrade offer to PS Plus members.

Some subscribers, while disappointed, are not entirely surprised by Sony's decision, suggesting that the company likely made this choice after a financial analysis. However, this has not stopped some fans from labeling Sony as "stingy," hoping for more generosity from the gaming giant. Despite the controversy surrounding the upgrade policy, *Days Gone Remastered* was just one of several announcements made during the State of Play event.
