Days Gone Remastered was one of the biggest surprises at Wednesday’s State of Play, but Sony’s decision to deny certain players a discount for the upcoming game looks set to cause frustration.
But there’s a catch: PS Plus users who redeemed the game through the monthly catalogue or the now-discontinued PS Plus Collection are excluded from the deal and will have to pay full price (£50).
The majority of comments suggest Sony is squandering an opportunity to win over PS Plus members, potentially turning them off from a deal that could have boosted goodwill and sales for a surprise release that probably wasn’t at the top of wishlists.
Despite garnering praise for its gripping story and vast open world, Days Gone struggled to stand out in a market flooded with zombie games, from The Last of Us and Dying Light to State of Decay.
Meanwhile, new content like Horde Assault Mode, Speedrun Mode, and Permadeath Mode should offer fresh challenges for returning players.
