Opinion: Horizon Forbidden West is just what Sony needs right now
Zarmena writes… Sony’s had a bit of a dry spell in terms of first-party releases after an excellent 2021. Horizon Forbidden West comes at a perfect time, and considering the ongoing next-gen supply issues, Sony made the right call by opting for a multiplatform release. The pricing was a bit of an issue, but thankfully, the company promptly addressed it.
In other news, Battlefield 2042 devs have said that they no longer wish to engage with the game’s subreddit due to toxicity, and PS5 has reportedly sold through 1.6 times more than the Xbox Series X and S in 2021.
