Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that the previously-confirmed PS5 titles Horizon Forbidden West and SackBoy: A Big Adventure are also coming to the PS4.
PS4 Also Getting Horizon Forbidden West, SackBoy A Big Adventure
Both games were presumed to be exclusive to Sony’s next-generation console, but it appears the hardware manufacturer has changed strategy and decided to go down the cross-generation route for many of its initial first-party titles.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is another game that is coming to PS5 and PS4, with a free upgrade planned to boot. Thankfully, That’s also the case with Horizon Forbidden West and SackBoy: A Big Adventure.
Here’s the full blurb from Sony:
Additionally, we know that the PS4 community will transition to PS5 at different times, and we’re happy to announce PS4 versions of some of our exclusives. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy A Big Adventure, and Horizon Forbidden West will also launch on PS4.
While these three games were designed to take advantage of PS5 and its unique next-gen features like the ultra-high-speed SSD and DualSense controller, PS4 owners will also be able to enjoy these experiences when they launch.
The PS4 digital versions of launch games include a free upgrade on both PS5 consoles, while the PS4 disc versions of these games include a free upgrade on the PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-Ray disc drive.
The PS5 is scheduled for release in the US on November 12 and in Europe on November 19.
