Sony poodles and takes on the criticism of Horizon Forbidden West.
—
We reported earlier on the different ones the editions which will sell off the upcoming adventure Horizon Forbidden West. What stood out then was that it was far from all editions that included free upgrades between PS4 and PS5. Anyone who wanted to be able to upgrade “for free” would have to buy one of the more expensive editions. This has of course made the fans angry and now Sony is going out with one press release and says they made a mistake. All versions of Horizon Forbidden West will be upgraded for free:
Thursday was to be a celebration of Horizon Forbidden West and the amazing team at Guerrilla working to deliver it on February 18, 2022. However, it’s abundantly clear that the offerings we confirmed in our pre-order kickoff missed the mark.
Last year we made a commitment to deliver free upgrades for our cross-gen launch titles, which included Horizon Forbidden West. While the pandemic’s profound impact pushed Forbidden West out of the launch window we initially envisioned, we will stand by our offer: Players who purchase Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free.
I also want to confirm today that moving forward, PlayStation first-party exclusive cross-gen titles (newly releasing on PS4 & PS5)–both digital and physical*–will offer a $10 USD digital upgrade option from PS4 to PS5. This will apply to the next God of War and Gran Turismo 7, and any other exclusive cross-gen PS4 & PS5 title published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

They also mention that from now on, all of their first-party titles will have an upgrade cost of $ 10 for those who want to upgrade between PS4 and PS5.
