GameStop Forbidden West Pre-Order Options Explained

With the pre-orders now live for Horizon Forbidden West on both PS5 and PS4, fans of the open-world adventure series have a plethora of options to choose from. In this article, we'll break down each edition, their prices, and what you can expect when playing as Aloy in her new quest.

Initially, Sony announced that only specific editions - Digital Deluxe, Collector's, and Regalla - would come with both PS4 and PS5 copies of the game, with no free PS5 upgrade available with the PS4 Launch or Special editions. However, thanks to backward compatibility, physical PS4 copies will be playable on PS5 (provided you have the disc drive model), giving you peace of mind if you haven't yet upgraded to the newer console.

The sequel to 2017's acclaimed PlayStation exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West is set to release on February for both PS5 and PS4. The Collector's Edition has sold out at most stores, but we may see restocking closer to launch. A separate Collector's Edition is also available for $200.

Preorders start at $60 for the PS4 Launch Edition and go up to $260 for the Regalla Edition. You can pre-order digitally on the PlayStation Store or pick up a physical edition from major retailers like GameStop or PlayStation Direct.

Horizon Forbidden West follows Aloy as she explores the vast forests, deserts, and jungles that now cover the Earth in her quest to learn more about the mysterious origins of herself and her people. Players take the role of Aloy, a young huntress living in a far future long after a civilization-ending apocalypse wiped out most humans, and giant dinosaur-like robots roam the planet.

Considering the Complete Edition retails for $60, it's likely that the standard edition will receive a permanent price cut. As of now, you can buy the standard edition for $50 on Amazon, making it a great gift idea if you're starting your holiday shopping early and need something for the PS5 player in your life.

The Complete Edition includes the base game, the Burning Shore DLC expansion, and various digital goodies and in-game unlockables, such as a special pose and face paint for photo mode. With so many options to choose from, pre-ordering Horizon Forbidden West is an exciting step forward in the open-world adventure series.
