News Sony has doubled the price of the digital version of Horizon Zero Dawn for PS4 to $40

• Users have noticed that the price of Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition for PS4 in the PS Store has increased from $20 to $40.
• According to the PSprices portal, the previous price had remained unchanged since summer 2018 and was often discounted further during sales.
• This price hike comes in the wake of the announcement of a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster, which will be priced at $50. However, owners of the PS4 version will be able to upgrade to the remaster for $10.
• As a result, new buyers will end up paying the same $50, even if they purchase the PS4 version with the intention of upgrading. Many have pointed out that it’s still possible to buy the game for less on physical discs.
• In May, Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition was also removed from the expanded PS Plus catalog.
• Sony previously clarified that the discounted upgrade option will also be available to those who received the game for free in 2021.

Makes sense: the old version for $40 with a $10 update, or just buy the new one for $50. It would be crazy if you could get the old version cheaper with the update. However, the old version won't be removed entirely, likely for those who still want to play on PS4.
