India pricing more than the norm
Looking at the Days Gone pre-order listing on Steam and Epic Games Store, Sony has priced the game at Rs 2,999. This is significantly higher than past Sony titles like Horizon Zero Dawn. For some context, Horizon Zero Dawn is available for Rs. 1,099 on Steam with the help of regional pricing. The Rs 2,999 price for Days Gone is not different from other AAA titles that directly convert the US pricing to INR for conversion. But this will likely make it difficult for interested gamers to get the game on lean budgets.
