While the pandemic’s profound impact pushed Forbidden West out of the launch window we initially envisioned, we will stand by our offer: Players who purchase Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free.
Earlier this week, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that users who purchase the standard or Special editions of Horizon Forbidden West for PlayStation 4 will not receive a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version, and that there were no plans to offer an upgrade path.
Users who purchase any edition of Horizon Forbidden West for PlayStation 4 will receive a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version, Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan said in an update to this week’s pre-order launch.
Back when Sony Interactive Entertainment first confirmed Horizon Forbidden West is coming to PlayStation 4 alongside PlayStation 5, it implied that it would be a launch window title with a free upgrade from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5.
