To recap the recent gamer drama, it was recently announced that Horizon Forbidden West would not be getting an upgrade path from PS4 to PS5, free or paid. There was some social media uproar, and Sony has responded by providing a free PS5 upgrade for those who buy the game on PS4.

Outstanding news, if I might say so myself, and it gets even better. If you preorder Horizon Forbidden West for PS4, that's $60, and $10 saving compared to PS5 preorders, and you still get both copies of the game (see it at Amazon).

Save $10 on Horizon Forbidden West Preorders with This Trick

The only difference you'll find if you preorder the game physically is the blue PS4 cover sleeve, instead of the clean white PS5 cover. Before you preorder, better also check out what comes in each Horizon Forbidden West Edition.

It's not all good news, however, as this trick will only be available for Horizon Forbidden West. Sony has confirmed that all future PS4-PS5 game launches will include a $10 upgrade path for those looking to move between generations of console. So, better take advantage of the discount offer this time around.

With the Forbidden West now delayed to February 2022, it seems likely we'll be seeing more of Aloy's next adventure during the PlayStation Showcase 2021, which will arrive on September 9.

Sony originally announced that the PS4 version of Horizon Forbidden West would not include an upgrade path to PS5, free or paid. Thankfully, this had now been changed, and those who buy on PS4 will be able to upgrade for free on PS5.

Not only that but PS4 preorders for the game are currently listed at £10 cheaper (£59.99) than the PS5 version (£69.99), even though the PS4 version actually includes access to play the game on both consoles. So, if you want to save £10 on your Horizon Forbidden West preorder, get it on PS4, and upgrade for free to PS5 (preorder at Amazon).

Amazon has some top deals for tantalizing games that are on the near horizon (one of which actually is a Horizon). Basically, there's never been a better time to stake your claim for Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Far Cry 6, and Call of Duty Vanguard. Not into the latest and greatest? Well, a five buck Fallout is always worth a shot. I've also sniffed out some great deals on Rockstar's greatest offerings, and you can't go wrong with a few half-priced Call of Duty titles.
