To make matters worse, with the upcoming arrival of this remaster, PlayStation has decided to removeHorizon Zero DawnComplete Editionfrom sale.

Just visit its Steam page and you’ll see a pre-order option for the “remastered bundle”.

On thePCgaming subreddit, pizza_sushi85 also noted that the title isn’t available via the Epic Games Store either.

This is because the remastered version will require its players to sign in using their PSN; it’s a decision that’s faced backlash before and will likely continue to do so.

The biggest issue for many gamers is the fact that the PlayStation Network isn’t readily available in some countries.

Consequently, many will be unable to playHorizon Zero Dawn.

In thewordsof Nazenn, “Bullshit sales tactics puts me off buying it entirely.”

They’re not alone in feeling this way.

Fortunately, not all is lost, for GOG still has the game on sale thanks to its “no activation or online connection required to play” stance.

This “scummy” behaviour from PlayStation has left fans feeling disenchanted, and could end up impacting the sales of the remaster when it releases.
