'Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores' teases DLC release

A few days before its release, Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores gets one more trailer. Sony and Guerrilla Games offer a fresh look at this new chapter of Aloy's story. Burning Shores is a volcanic archipelago that was once home to Los Angeles. The teaser trailer also gives a closer look at the Metal Devil boss fight. That specific battle is why this DLC won't be available on the PlayStation 4. It requires a lot of memory and processing power.

Sony confirms it will offer free 'Horizon Forbidden West' PS4 upgrades to PS5 after all

Sony planned to make PlayStation 4 gamers purchase another copy of Horizon Forbidden West to upgrade to the PS5 version. But the company was met with heavy criticism for this move, given its original promise that a free upgrade will be available from PS4 to PS5. Sony backtracked and said that those who will buy Horizon Forbidden West on the Play Station 4 would get a PlayStation 4 upgrade for free.

The company is also committing to a US$10 digital upgrade option for the digital and physical versions of PlayStation first-party exclusive cross-gen titles.
