Horizon: Forbidden West Doesn’t Offer a PS4 to PS5 Upgrade

At this time, it seems that Horizon: Forbidden West won’t offer a free upgrade from the Playstation 4 version to the Playstation 5 version on its standard or special editions, and you can’t pay to upgrade a standard edition to one that does include the Playstation 5 version.

You see Horizon: Forbidden West will be receiving both a PS4 version and a PS5 version. You will of course be able to play the PS4 version on PS5, but it won’t receive the same visual and performance upgrades. At this time, on the game’s FAQ page under the headline “Can I upgrade my PS4 version to the PS5 version?”, it’s revealed that Standard and Special editions of the game will come with no dual entitlement (i.e. it will not come with both a PS4 version and a PS5 version).

Dual Entitlement is included in the (more expensive) Digital Deluxe, Collector’s, or Regalla Editions, but they are entirely separate full-game purchases. Unlike other PS5 games like Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, there won’t be a less expensive paid upgrade either, or as the FAQ reads “There are no plans for an update offer from standard to digital deluxe edition at this time.”

Here is the pre-order announcement trailer for Horizon: Forbidden West:
