Sony Announces Disappointing News Regarding Horizon Forbidden West for PS4 and PS5

Guerilla Games’ Horizon Forbidden West comes in five different editions. Unfortunately for PlayStation owners, only three of the five will be compatible with both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

The developers announced the title’s launch date during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live last week. The game comes out on February 18, 2022, and pre-orders are now available for different versions of the game across all regions.

Horizon Forbidden West: All you need to know about the pre-orders

Sony dropped a video of the pre-order announcement earlier today giving fans a look at Aloy’s progression in the game.

First and foremost, if you wish to play both PS4 and PS5 versions of the game, it is suggested that you go for high-end versions. Only three of the editions: Digital Deluxe, Collector’s, or Regalla offer support across both consoles. Whereas, Dual Entitlement will not apply to the Standard and Special versions.

On a side note, it looks like the developers were feeling generous. Players can redeem the Nora Legacy Outfit and Spear to use in the game if they choose to pre-order any of the five.

Each of the five editions is accompanied by exclusive prizes for the specific version. Choosing a version might be a tedious task, but the rewards and prices certainly help a lot. Here is a look at the price list for the five choices that Guerilla offers:

• Standard: $59.99 on PS4, $69.99 on PS5
• Special: $69.99 on PS4, $79.99 on PS5
• Digital Deluxe: $79.99
• Collector’s: $199.99
• Regalla: $259.99

Although the Collector’s and Regalla editions come with SteelBook Display cases, there is no physical disc. The voucher that will come along will include the download codes for the game. The Digital Deluxe version will not include the disc as well.

If you are a collectibles geek, the Regalla and the Collector’s are the perfect choices for you. The latter comes with a custom sculpted Tremortusk & Aloy statue and a mini art book. While Regalla, a “more menacing take on the Collector’s Edition” according to the blog post will come with the collector’s rewards and much more.
