You can preorder Forbidden Horizon West now for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. There is no reason not to.īut at least I should be happy that the collector’s edition comes with a copy of the game at all that I don’t have to buy separately.Īre you preordering Horizon Forbidden West? What do you think of the Collector’s Edition and Regalla Edition only coming with a digital code? There is a simple fix for this, however: Sony needs to just admit that they are wrong in doing this, and include a physical copy of the disc with these two collector’s editions. Especially for something like Horizon Forbidden West which will sell incredibly well no matter what PlayStation platform it is on. It is not an outrageous idea to offer the bare minimum that is included in the bottom-tier standard edition in the two most expensive editions of the game, and I shouldn’t have to ever worry about losing access to a game that I spent serious money on years later if Sony decides to ax that console’s online platform and not back down again like they did for the PlayStation 3 and Vita. This again makes sense from a business perspective for Sony…if they weren’t already selling a physical version of the game at the lowest price tier possible.įrankly, this just eats into the goodwill among the buying gaming public. Once you’ve finished a digital game after all, you can’t resell or trade it in. This move by Sony also effectively does away with the re-sale market for the game itself. People should be able to have a physical copy, and not just a digital copy with an accompanying empty steelbook, to keep instead of trying to juggle which game they want to delete off of their hard drive for Horizon Forbidden West to be installed in. These are all sound money-based rationales to make, and Sony naturally wants to sell as many copies as they possibly can.īut, again, at these price points for the Collector’s Edition and Regalla Edition? I really don’t think a physical copy of the game is too much to ask for, and I do not want this to become a gaming industry norm if people snap up these collector’s editions without a physical copy of the game included. What this means is that both top-tiered versions of the game (price-wise) are therefore flagged for both consoles of the game, and Sony doesn’t have to 1) produce two versions of the collector editions for each console, 2) limit the collector editions to only PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 gamers, or 3) develop a key system to upgrade a base PlayStation 4 to a PlayStation 5 copy exclusively for these games. Instead, the only way that you can have both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 access is to purchase the Digital Deluxe, Collector’s, and Regalla Editions.
