Besides the higher sales price of the remaster, it is sometimes confusing to search for a certain game in a digital store and then finding games with almost the same name, both playsble on my system. Heck, even these small \u201ePS4\u201c and \u201ePS5\u201c icons for different versions can easily be overlooked in the PS App.<\/p>\n<p>Just try \u201eHorizon Zero Dawn\u201c in the PS Store. If you select the PS4 version (\u201eComplete\u201c sounds right, right?), at least my PS App says \u201eOptimised for PS5 Pro\u201c. So, that must be big and complete PS5 version with all the bells and whistles, right? And we both know what these different versions mean and what we are looking for. Now imagine how this would be for somebody with less experience and market knowledge, who heard that Horizon is a must-play on PS5.<\/p>\n<p>Offering only one version eliminates the risks for buying the wrong version, refunds etc. when a new game arrives.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8984110\" data-author=\"users\/263663\" data-subject=\"comments\/8984110\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8984110\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"MeatyVeg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/01\/yakuzas-makers-have-made-another-unforced-error#comment8984110\">5<\/a><\/li>\n<li>MeatyVeg<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-01-17T08:05:01+00:00\">1 hour ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>&#8220;We don\u2019t see why the remake and remaster can\u2019t co-exist?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Money<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8984111\" data-author=\"users\/270853\" data-subject=\"comments\/8984111\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8984111\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/270853\/avatar.jpg?v=1599028485\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Gaia093\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/01\/yakuzas-makers-have-made-another-unforced-error#comment8984111\">6<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Gaia093<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-01-17T08:07:55+00:00\">1 hour ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>I agree with john that this is arguably worse than the Yakuza 0 case, since this time it&#8217;s an entirely different game being delisted, rather than the same game with a couple less cutscenes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a retail copy of Y3 so I&#8217;m not affected, but this kind of sucks for game preservation in general.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8984122\" data-author=\"users\/264532\" data-subject=\"comments\/8984122\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8984122\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/264532\/avatar.jpg?v=1592721497\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"AgentMantis\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/01\/yakuzas-makers-have-made-another-unforced-error#comment8984122\">7<\/a><\/li>\n<li>AgentMantis<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-01-17T08:24:27+00:00\">50 mins ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>&#8220;Hello my name is sega and I like money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>People who are surprised by this move haven&#8217;t been following Sega&#8217;s anti-consumer practices for a while.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8984130\" data-author=\"users\/323952\" data-subject=\"comments\/8984130\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8984130\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"PsBoxSwitchOwner\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/01\/yakuzas-makers-have-made-another-unforced-error#comment8984130\">8<\/a><\/li>\n<li>PsBoxSwitchOwner<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-01-17T08:56:14+00:00\">19 mins ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>Don\u2019t most companies remove the older versions once they release an updated one?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a new practice<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"empty\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ui-load-comments ui-cta-button\" onclick=\"this.innerHTML = 'Please Wait...';
