Don't know how will this go, but i'm still waiting for a fix to allow me to buy 10$ upgrade Horizon Remaster with original 2017 disk lol

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Of course not, lol.

I think those did (example Resident Evil 7). The ones that usually do not are the PS+ ones.
I don't think Days Gone has even been a PS+ title, but it was part of the Instant Game Collections and those were different. I'm betting on it working, but we will see.

Yeah it wasn't ps+ technically. It was the instant game collection.

Hopefully it will follow and only be around £10.
The recent horizon remaster was the same, but Sony had given the original for free on so many different channels (I think I got my copy from their Covid free games promo)
I have it showing as premium for me just now, but i am sure i picked it up on the instant game collection (and more importantly the game licence from there)

Strange, for me the Remaster is "$10/€10", when logging in and checking on playstation.com, and I also only own the disc version of Horizon, however its the "Complete Edition" disc version.

Pretty sure I did a $10 claim on a free game before. I think it was that Horizon when I got a Pro to test it.
Also, don't waste your time. Horizon 1 Pro Edition didn't look impressive at all to me.

But that is the same as adding ps plus essential games, it still has the PS plus mark, which means You don't own the Game. Unlike Horizon Zero dawn which was given for free.

Yeah, anyone saying no is giving away they're not at all familiar with any of these remaster efforts.

I think the instant game collection ones you DO get to keep if you redeemed it. It was limited time anyway.

Why would it? You got Days Gone for ps4 as part of your ps+ sub…not Days Gone Remastered. In fact, why do you think you should get any upgrade for free on a subscription included game when it comes out later?

I'm not expecting it for free.
I just checked and it actually says 'purchased' on the game in the store.
But it's only showing the remaster as 44.99 - I think we had to wait until release date last time did we?

Why would any company give free upgrades for people who already got it on sub plan?
So if you sub to cable tv and the company launches new 4k channels, everyone who currently gets the normal HD channels gets the new 4k versions for free? Nope.
The company may give you some free 4k channels part of the existing package. But more likely the 4k channels will be part of a higher tier package you got to pay for.

PS Plus Copies of Days Gone Won't Offer Cheap $10 Upgrade to New PS5 Version

If it shows 45 GBP then it's no good.I'm not expecting it for free.

People actually purchased it should see 10 dollar/pound.
The PS app is a bit funky in regards to those PS plus titles, they all show "purchased" in the app. But if you go to web store, it actually shows "download" and has another tab allowing you to buy the games.

It worked for Horizon Zero Dawn, so should work here too.
Edit: Can confirm this works for the instant collection, only way I own it is through it and it's allowing me to pre order for €10

Yeah, you don't need PS+ to play the game, AFAIK. And there is no way to purchase this one like the PS+ monthly games still have after redemption.
Yes.
It wasn't a sub game like PS+
It was an actual free game you can play without subbing to PS+.
When you redeem a + game, you can still purchase it outside of the "free +" version. This one, you can't, because it was a limited time they were giving the actual games away for free.

I have the PS+ Collection and it doesn't work for me.
Looks like a change in policy, probably from revenues around Horizon. I'm guessing too many of the people who did upgrade were from the PS+ collection and PS+ monthly. I think they should be happy to get that 10 dollars from anyone who has it, but that's me.

I have the freebie PS4 version and the Remastered is showing as $10 for me. I'm in the US if that makes a difference....

I claimed the instant Game collection and those have the PS plus symbol, including days gone, I don't think I can upgrade that.

Yes they did, it was part of play at Home initiative, when COVID pandemic started

They had a Plus version (in April 2021) along with the Game Collection one. If you claimed the Plus version prior to the IGC one (like I did since I did not get my PS5 until Fall of that year), then you are shit out of luck. Since it would not let you claim the IGC (which could only be done if you owned a PS5), and showed you already had it.

If you claimed that one instead of the game collection one, then there is the issue.
Ah well, bummer.
‘Days Gone’ and ‘Oddworld: Soulstorm’ lead April’s PS Plus games
Sony has revealed April's free PlayStation Plus games: 'Days Gone' and 'Zombie Army 4: Dead War' for PS4 and 'Oddworld Soulstorm' for PS5.

I think you lose access to ps plus games without an active sub, instant game collection is yours forever.

Probably what I did. I haven't played it yet though. So in all honesty I just wanna pay a tenner to have it in my library lolThey had a Plus version (in April 2021) along with the Game Collection one.

Yeah, unfortunately it's what I did, because I didn't know when I was going to get a PS5 (and when the IGC would expire) and nabbed it on plus for the backlog. I would have paid $10 all day and dived in again, but will not $50.

This way there's no danger of subscription services or game devaluation taking hold too much in their ecosystem. Rude awakening only for the few freeloaders on Sony systems that don't buy their games. Most Sony gamers would rather avoid subs completely and buy their games at full price with physical copies and already got this at launch.

Nobody is saying the upgrade would be free.
