Summary
PlayStationconfirmed the rumors thatHorizon Zero Dawn has been remasteredduring its most recent State Of Play even though the 2017 game still looks pretty great onPS4andPC. The remaster ofZero Dawnhas been priced at $49.99, or if you already own the game, you will be able to upgrade to the remaster for $9.99. If you don’t already own the game then the opportunity to buy it might soon be gone as with pre-orders forHorizon Zero Dawn Remasteredgoing live later today, at least one listing for the original game has been pulled.
First noticed byPCGamesN, Horizon Zero Dawn’s Complete Edition is no longer available at the Epic Games Store.Head to its pageand while it still exists, the button you’d press to add the game to your cart has been replaced with one that has been greyed out and had an unavailable label slapped on it. It’s unclear when exactly Zero Dawn was delisted on Epic, but it seems to have been unavailable for a few days.
Epic’s delisting follows on fromPlayStation quietly doubling the price of Zero Dawn’s Complete Edition. Prior to the remaster’s reveal, you could buy Zero Dawn on the PlayStation Store for $19.99. That posed a problem for PlayStation as if it left the price that way, it would have provided the opportunity to buy the game for $19.99 and upgrade it to thePS5version for $9.99. Since standalone copies of the remaster are $49.99, that would have meant a potential saving of $20.
Horizon Zero Dawn Is No Longer Available On The Epic Games Store
The Listing Will Likely Be Replaced By The Remaster, Possibly As Soon As Today
Even though Zero Dawn has been delisted on the Epic Games Store, it’s unlikely it will be removed from the PlayStation Store. The biggest reason for the remaster is to give the PS4 version of the game a PS5 makeover. That means the remaster cannot be played on PS4 and if the original game was removed, no one still using a PS4 would be able to buy it. On PC, the remaster can replace the original version of Zero Dawn as PlayStation doesn’t have last-gen players to cater to.

That said, if you do want to own a copy of the original Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, it is still available onSteam, for now. Pre-orders for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered have started to go live and will be available in the US from 10 am EST today. The original game may remain available beyond that time, but it’s also possible its Steam listing is replaced with the remaster’s store page once it goes live.
