In a recent revelation, the Singaporean game rating board unveiled the launch of Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition for the PlayStation 5. However, this news didn’t exactly come as a shock, as Sony bundled the previous year’s Horizon Forbidden West with the recent Burning Shores DLC. This strategy mirrors their earlier success with Horizon Zero Dawn and its acclaimed The Frozen Wilds expansion. And now, there have been recent developments in the gaming community regarding Horizon Forbidden West.

As we approach February 2024, the game is set to celebrate its second anniversary. Considering Sony’s well-established pattern of releasing PlayStation exclusives on PC approximately two years after their console debut, rumors have started to surface.
