PlayStation gamers were thrilled when the Days Gone remaster was announced a few weeks ago, with many eyeing a replay of the game.
Days Gone has held steady with its fans, and is slowly becoming a cult classic, so it wasn’t a surprise to see a remaster announced for the PlayStation 5.
Days Gone Remastered is coming to PlayStation 5 this year
For fans who already own the game, there’s an option to pay a one-off fee of $10/£10 to upgrade their copy of the game to the new version.
However, as reported on Reddit, one fan has noticed that they will have to buy the game again before they can apply the upgrade fee.

User BlitzGreig93 explained, “I owned the game originally on disc on PS4, just sold it after getting the PS5 and the free digital collections that came with the console. Now, unfortunately this makes me ineligible to upgrade.”
They continued, “Can’t even buy it on sale to upgrade later either. I understand why they’ve done it but annoying for the people who bought in day one but have to buy in again.”
This surely means that some users will need to buy a new copy of the game, whether digital or physical, in order to play.
Or, they’ll have to stump up the cash for the full price on the remaster.

Another Redditor comments, “people are going to be so confused when they try to buy this game.”
One PlayStation Plus subscriber seems frustrated, saying, “Been paying for Plus for a couple of years now, you'd think they'd throw a bone to get more players on it. Guess not.”
GreywolfinCZ notes, “Greedy move. I would buy an upgrade as a PS Collection owner. But I won't invest more than the cost of the upgrade - I already finished the game ages ago. So I will pay them nothing.”
It could end up that many skip this remaster, not wanting to pay an increased price.
