Days Gone Remastered – Announce Trailer
Days Gone Remastered brings back the classic zombie-slaying action of the original in this State of Play trailer from February 2025.
Days Gone has never been a monthly free PS Plus game, but it was featured as part of the PS Plus Collection. For the uninitiated, the PS Plus Collection was a line-up of PS4 games that users could claim for their digital libraries. As long as one claimed the freebies while they were available and has an active PS Plus subscription, they have access to them. Despite this, anyone that has access to Days Gone through PS Plus can’t upgrade their version of the game for $9.99. If they want to play the remaster, they will have to fork over $49.99, which is certainly not ideal.
Days Gone Remastered Upgrade Path
- $9.99 if you own the game
- $49.99 if you have the game through PS Plus or do not own the game
This is undoubtedly disappointing news for anyone hoping to check out Days Gone Remastered‘s new game modes without breaking the bank. It’s likely that there will be some people that already played Days Gone on PS4 through their PS Plus subscription and would be interested in spending $9.99 for the new modes, but may not be willing to pay $49.99. Those that don’t want to spend $50 should note that it’s highly likely that Days Gone Remastered will one day make its way to the PS Plus Extra catalog, though plans to that effect have not been announced at the time of this writing.
With Days Gone 2 rejected by Sony, Days Gone Remastered may be the last new release that the franchise ever sees. Then again, it’s possible Days Gone Remastered will fuel increased interest in the game, and with Bend Studio’s live-service IP canceled, perhaps it may very well be given the green light to move forward with a follow-up. That’s just speculation at this time, though. It’s entirely possible Bend Studio’s next game will be something completely unexpected, so fans should keep that in mind.
