Aloy's next adventure is fast approaching and Horizon Forbidden West is now available to preorder on PS4 and PS5. In what will surely be one of the best PS5 games when it releases on February 18, 2022, Horizon Forbidden West follows the events of the first game and sees Aloy journeying to the titular Forbidden West where a mysterious plague has taken over the land. Guerilla Games has added underwater exploration along with a host of new machines this time around, and early gameplay footage looks gorgeous.
Because Horizon Zero Dawn was such a popular game and became a flagship exclusive for PlayStation, it's no surprise that multiple editions are up for preorder. We'll break down everything you can find in each of these, where to preorder Horizon Forbidden West, and how much they cost. For diehard fans out there with some extra cash to spare, the Collector's Edition and Regalla Edition look really appealing.
Horizon Forbidden West: Every edition available
PlayStation and Guerilla Games are releasing five separate editions of Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 and PS5. These include the Standard Edition — known as the launch edition — the Digital Deluxe Edition, the Special Edition, the Collector's Edition, and the Regalla Edition. As you can already guess, the Collector's and Regalla Editions are expensive but come with a ton of physical goodies, including an Aloy and Tremortusk statue.
A note on upgrades: Initially, Sony made it clear that there will not be a free upgrade for anyone who purchases the Standard or Special Editions on PS4. Only those who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition, Collector's Edition, and Regalla Edition are entitled to a free PS5 upgrade. There appeared to be no way to upgrade the Standard and Special Edition PS4 versions to PS5 at that time.
With that said, Sony has since reversed this decision, announcing that anyone who buys Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 can upgrade to the PS5 version for free. This will not apply to future titles from Sony Worldwide Studios, such as the next God of War.
Horizon Forbidden West: Standard Edition
The Standard Edition comes with exactly what you expect: just the game. Nothing more and nothing less. But that's okay because sometimes that's all you need. If you buy this one, or any other edition, you can upgrade from the PS4 version to the PS5 version for free.
Just the game and nothing more
Aloy's next adventure is almost here and you can preorder the Standard Edition of Horizon Forbidden West today on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Horizon Forbidden West: Digital Deluxe Edition
For anyone who wants a little more than the Standard Edition offer, there's the Digital Deluxe Edition, only available through the PlayStation Store. You can buy it on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. It contains the following:

Horizon Forbidden West: Special Edition
The Special Edition is for those who prefer physical copies. It comes with a limited edition steelbook for the game along with a voucher for the digital soundtrack. PlayStation notes that dual entitlement will now apply to this edition of the game, so you will be able to purchase it on PS4 and get a free upgrade to PS5.
