Days Gone Remastered will be an affordable $10 upgrade to anyone who owns the 2019 survival-action game, but there is a catch here. Like several other PlayStation games that have gotten the PS5 remaster treatment, the upgrade doesn't apply to the PS Plus version currently available in the Game Catalog, or the one that was given away back in April 2021 as a PS Plus freebie.Naturally, this hasn't gone over well with fans who have taken to online forums like Reddit (via Eurogamer) to voice their complaints. As several people have noted, PS Plus is a paid-for subscription service, and in comparison, Microsoft allows Game Pass subscribers to upgrade to premium editions of new releases, allowing them to access the benefits of their upgraded games--like early access--at an attractive price.
