Sony has doubled the price of PlayStation 4 game Horizon: Zero Dawn following the reveal of its PS5 remaster.

Eurogamer spotted the price rise in the UK (from £15.99 to £34.99) but the price also rose in the U.S., jumping from $19.99 to $39.99 on the PlayStation Store.

Horizon: Zero Dawn has been at the previous price point for years as part of the PlayStation Hits collection, and other entries such as God of War and The Last of Us Remastered have remained at the typical $19.99 price.

Out of all the boardroom discussions, raising the price was actually the most consumer-friendly suggestion from Sony. Others included:

  • Deleting the original version from users' libraries.
  • Re-printing the original on disc, but including a rootkit.
  • Compiling a list of original version owners and leaving their personal details in plaintext on the web until they upgrade.
  • Downgrading the original to 480p, telling users the original graphics were just a bug, and selling the higher-res upgrade.

Are you joking or are there really psychopaths on this board?
