Sony PlayStation 4 physical video game Horizon Forbidden West Launch Edition in a standard blue PS4 case with full-color cover art showing Aloy aiming her bow at a massive mechanical bird-like machine soaring above a lush tropical coastline beneath the bold Horizon Forbidden West logo and PS4 Launch Edition branding.
Horizon Forbidden West is an open-world action role-playing adventure where you guide hunter Aloy across a far-future, post-apocalyptic America to investigate a mysterious blight, battle towering machines, and uncover secrets of lost civilizations through a mix of ranged and melee combat, stealth, crafting, and exploration.
Back cover text under the Rise Above Our Ruin heading describes Aloy venturing into the Forbidden West's majestic yet dangerous frontier, discovering distant lands, new tribes, and awe-inspiring machines as she races to restore balance to the world and prevent Earth's final collapse.
A highlighted panel notes that this Launch Edition includes the full PS4 game plus digital Nora Legacy outfit and Nora Legacy Spear items, and the front packaging calls out that a PS5 upgrade is available for players who later move to PlayStation 5 hardware.
Rear packaging icons indicate single-player support, a large minimum hard drive installation, compatibility with the DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller, and enhancements on PlayStation 4 Pro systems, with this disc-based NTSC-U/C release designed for use on North American PS4 consoles and potentially requiring system software updates and an internet connection for patches or connected features.
