Sony to Allow Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrades for Horizon Forbidden West Following Controversy

Sony has announced that Horizon Forbidden West, a game developed by Koei Tecmo, will be free for PlayStation Plus members to download. This comes following the controversy over the game’s microtransactions which were removed after an outcry from consumers.

Sony announced that it will allow free PS4 to PS5 upgrades for Horizon Forbidden West following the controversy. Read more in detail here: horizon ps5.

When Sony unveiled the different versions of Horizon Forbidden West for PS4 and PS5 systems on Thursday, PlayStation fans were not pleased. There was no free upgrade route from the PS4 to PS5 edition of the game, and there was no paid upgrade option either.

The decision sparked outrage since PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan promised The Washington Post in 2024 that anyone who purchased Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 will be able to upgrade to the PS5 version for free.

Ryan stated at the time, “The PS5 versions of [Horizon Forbidden West] are designed from the ground up to take use of the PS5 feature set, and we have an upgrade route for PS4 players to obtain the PS5 versions for free.” “I’m very happy with how things are going.”

Fortunately, Ryan has remembered what he told PlayStation players last year and is going back on his word.

Ryan revealed in an updated article about Horizon Forbidden West’s Collector’s and Digital Deluxe Editions that customers who buy the game on PS4 would get a free upgrade to the PS5 version. This is great news for fans of Horizon Forbidden West, especially those who have yet to locate a PS5 to buy.

Ryan acknowledged that it was “abundantly obvious” that he and Sony had “missed the target” when they first announced the game. On February 18, 2024, Horizon Forbidden West will be published.

 

We made a promise last year to provide free updates for all of our cross-gen launch games, including Horizon Forbidden West. While the pandemic’s devastating effects delayed Forbidden West’s release date, we will honor our offer: players who buy Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will get a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 edition.
