The act of preloading games is nothing new in the industry, but extremely useful. Basically, you’ll be able to download the game before release so that when it comes out, you can play directly without waiting.
As stated earlier, Sony changed its mind and decided to give the PlayStation 5 version a free upgrade to anyone who buys the last-gen version. However, if you buy the PlayStation 4 version with the intention of upgrading to PlayStation 5 for free, you will have to wait for the game to be released. Sony will not allow you to pre-load the next-gen version, only if you buy it in advance.
In recent news, it was confirmed that Horizon Forbidden West will include various difficulty levels, gameplay support, and audio, visual, and controller customization options. Guerrilla Games will monitor player feedback and bring more features in the future to make the game more accessible.
Recall that Horizon Forbidden West will be released on February 18th for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
