Release Date: When Does Horizon Forbidden West Come Out?
We're currently expecting that the file size of Horizon Forbidden West will be bigger than the Horizon Zero Dawn.
The base game of Horizon Zero Dawn is around 45 GB, and we initially expected that Horizon Forbidden West in PS4 will be at 65 GB, as they have included new machines, new weapons, and underwater explorations.
Upon preloading Horizon Forbidden West, the application size is listed at 75.274 GB.
The file size might go around 85 GB or higher for the PS5, as it has better graphics than the PS4, and there are features exclusive to PS5 only. Also, games available on the PS5 are around that size, and it may be the same for this game.
| PS4 | 75.274 GB |
|---|---|
| PS5 | ??? (Around 85 GB*) |
File size marked with "*" is only our prediction. We will add in a more accurate file size once the official announcement is up!
