Horizon Forbidden West PS5 pricing confusion.
Horizon: Forbidden West for PS5 currently costs $ 10 less when purchased through a web browser.
A little over a week after its February 18th release, many PlayStation 5 users have pre-ordered the game via the PS Store. However, it appears that it is not the cheapest place to buy the game.
Players who purchase Forbidden West on PS4 will have access to the PS5 version for free. However, when viewed on a PlayStation 5 console, users only have the option to purchase the PS5 version of the game for $ 69.99 or the Digital Deluxe Edition for $ 79.99.
But those who they access the game via a browser have the option to purchase the PS4 version for $ 59.99, which includes the upgrade to PS5 for free.
Last year, Sony decided not to provide a free upgrade to the PS5 version of Horizon: Forbidden West. A few days after announcing that the game would initially come with a $ 10 upgrade cost, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s CEO Jim Ryan issued a statement backing off on the change.
“Last year, we committed to providing free upgrades for our cross-gen launch titles, which included Horizon Forbidden West. Even though the profound impact of the pandemic has pushed Forbidden West out of the launch window we originally anticipated, we will remain true to our offer: players who purchase Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free.“.
He added: “I also want to confirm that going forward, PlayStation-exclusive cross-gen first party titles (recently released on PS4 and PS5), both digital and physical, will offer a $ 10 digital upgrade option from PS4 to PS5. This will apply to the upcoming God of War and Gran Turismo 7 and to any other cross-gen exclusive PS4 and PS5 titles released by Sony Interactive Entertainment.“.
It is currently unclear whether the PS5 version will change its price ahead of launch, but considering the game’s release next week, it is highly likely that customers have purchased the $ 69.99 version without realizing they could have saved. $ 10.
