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.

A rather obtuse reference to removing the OtherOS feature well after purchase. I tried to adapt it to game terms, but admit it’s a stretch.

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

“Okay, but I don’t see why we can’t revisit my suggestion to send the Pinkertons to all owners of the original version and have them break their kneecaps if they don’t give us all the money they have.”

“With all due respect sir, that is… Have you read the brief that Legal sent you on that matter?”

“I skimmed it… but I’m not convinced.”

I don’t like how I didn’t catch this was satire until the third bullet point

I’m still on the fence if they’re doing satire or were in a boardroom meeting.
