Sony confirms free Horizon Forbidden West PS5 upgrade after community backlash Guerrilla GamesSony has confirmed that Horizon Forbidden West will indeed be getting a free upgrade to PS5 after backlash from the community over lack of the bonus. When Horizon Forbidden West\u2019s special editions were revealed on September 3, there was no mention of the free PS5 upgrade that everyone thought would be included, and fans weren\u2019t happy. But, just a day later Sony came out and said they would \u201cstand by\u201d their offer, and include a free PS5 upgrade for players who buy Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4. An update regarding Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 and PS5: https:\/\/t.co\/1R8ikEpmNb \u2014 PlayStation (@PlayStation) September 4, 2021 \u201cIt\u2019s abundantly clear that the offerings we confirmed in our pre-order kickoff missed the mark,\u201d Jim Ryan, Sony president & CEO said in the update. \u201cLast year we made a commitment to deliver free upgrades for our cross-gen launch titles, which included Horizon Forbidden West.\u201d While Forbidden West might be coming out later than initially thought, PS4 players will still be able to move the game over when they get a PS5. \u201cWhile the pandemic\u2019s profound impact pushed Forbidden West out of the launch window we initially envisioned, we will stand by our offer,\u201d Ryan continued. \u201cPlayers who purchase Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free.\u201d The Sony CEO also wrote that \u201cfirst-party exclusive cross-gen titles\u201d that release on both PS4 and PS5 would get a $10 upgrade option from the old to new system, much cheaper than buying the game a second time. This would include titles like God of War and Gran Turismo 7, which make up some of the most anticipated titles on the way for PS5. Not only is this good news for Horizon fans, it\u2019s a welcomed update for anyone who still hasn\u2019t upgraded to the latest generation of console just yet, but are still stockpiling games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
