Horizon Forbidden West- Aloy in The Daunt

Aloy's second adventure is available as part of a PS5 bundle.

Guerrilla Games

Some retailers have been bundling the elusive PS5 with games and accessories to get you to spend more on the console, but Sony is packaging the next-gen PlayStation console with major exclusive Horizon Forbidden West for its first official bundle. The US listings for both the PS5 and PS5 Digital edition are available through the PS Direct store.

They aren't live yet, but you can register for a chance to purchase a PS5 from PS Direct, as previously highlighted by Twitter user Wario64.

We don't know how much the bundle will cost in the US yet, but UK retailer listings suggest it'll be a saving of £20 (around $25) compared to buying the console and game separately. The standard price for the PS5 with disc drive is $500, while the PS5 Digital edition is $400. The game's recommended retail price is $70, so you can expect the standard PS5 bundle to be $550 and PS5 Digital one to be $450.

"This game was well worth the five-year wait," CNET's Nicole Archer said of Horizon Forbidden West, in case you're hesitant about the bundle. "It's gorgeous and fascinating, and I can't wait for you to play it."
