Horizon Forbidden West preorders for PS5 and PS4 have begun, and fans of the open-world adventure series have quite a few options to choose from. You can preorder Horizon Forbidden West digitally on the PlayStation Store or pick up a physical edition from major retailers or PlayStation Direct. Preorders start at $60 for the PS4 Launch Edition and go up to $260 for the Regalla Edition. A Collector’s Edition is also available for $200.
Sequel to 2017’s acclaimed PlayStation exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West will be released on PS5 and PS4 on Feb. 18, 2022. Thanks to backward compatibility, any physical PS4 copies will be playable on PS5 (provided you have the disc drive model), so if you’ve yet to buy a PS5, you can rest assured your copy will be compatible with that console down the road. However, note that only the Digital Deluxe, Collector’s and Regalla editions come with both PS4 and PS5 copies of the game. You won’t get the free PS5 performance upgrade with the PS4 Launch or Special editions.
