Days Gone PS5 Remaster Spells Trouble for PS4 Plus Owners

Feb 17, 2025 5:03 PM

Excitement surrounds the upcoming PS5 remaster of Days Gone, set to launch on April 25, 2025. However, this remaster comes with a catch for players who claimed the game through PS Plus. Those who redeemed Days Gone via PlayStation Plus are ineligible for the $10 upgrade offer to the remastered version. This decision has caused frustration among players who would have considered purchasing the upgrade. The remaster introduces new content and features, but it seems that Sony aims to encourage outright purchases rather than offering discounts to PS Plus users. Days Gone initially released in 2019 and, despite mixed reviews, performed reasonably well in sales. The game does not have a sequel in development, but a movie adaptation was announced in 2022.

Can I upgrade Days Gone from PS Plus to PS5 Remastered for $10?

No, players who redeemed Days Gone through PS Plus are not eligible for the $10 upgrade offer to the PS5 remaster. This upgrade path is only available for those who purchased the game physically or digitally.

Days Gone is an action-adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic world, where players control a biker named Deacon St. John who must survive against zombie-like creatures while uncovering the mystery of his wife's disappearance. The game combines open-world exploration with survival elements and has received attention for its engaging storytelling and character development. Despite its initial launch challenges, it has built a dedicated fanbase eager for further content or adaptations.

It’s great to see Days Gone getting some love with a remaster, but excluding PS Plus users from the $10 upgrade feels like a bit of a slap to the community that kept the game alive. Still, the new content might just be enough to lure me back into Deacon’s world—zombie hordes and all.

It’s cool to see Days Gone getting a second shot with a remaster, but locking PS Plus players out of the $10 upgrade feels like a missed opportunity to reward loyal fans. Hopefully, the new content and features make it worth the full price for those diving back into the post-apocalyptic chaos.
