Horizon: Forbidden West is second-biggest PS5 physical game launch so far

Horizon: Forbidden West is also the second-largest boxed game launch of the year so far in the UK, with roughly half the physical sales of Nintendo Switch exclusive Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Horizon: Forbidden West has notched up the second-biggest launch for a boxed PlayStation 5 game in the UK, behind console launch title Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

In Eurogamer’s Horizon Forbidden West review, Malindy wrote that the game was “a gorgeous sequel that continued to borrow more than it adds”.
