It’s worth noting the Horizon: Forbidden West Complete Collection discs are used for authentication, so players do not need to switch between the two.

Horizon: Forbidden West Complete Edition, which launches tomorrow, October 6, launches ahead of Square Enix’s upcoming Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, which also comes on two discs and is set for release in February.

While the PS5 version of Horizon: Forbidden West Complete Edition launches this week, PC gamers have to wait. The PC version, developed by Sony-owned PC port specialist Nixxes Software, launches early 2024 via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Guerrilla’s Horizon: Forbidden West launched in February 2022 and was awarded a 9/10 in IGN’s review. “A triumphant combination of enthralling combat, top-tier creature and character design, and a captivating open world, Horizon: Forbidden West is an absolute blast and fantastic showcase for the power of the PS5,” we said.

The Burning Shores expansion launched in April 2023, and met with an 8/10 from IGN’s review. “A couple of poor boss battles aside, Burning Shores is a great new chapter with enough creative new bells and whistles to keep Horizon fans more than happy,” we said.
