How Horizon Forbidden West Players With PlayStation 4 Discs Can Play Burning Shores

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a PS5-only DLC, but that doesn't mean PS5 owners who have the PS4 version of the base game are excluded.

Take a moment and appreciate this. It is very rare in gaming when things are done right.

z2g749d ago

I’m appreciating the fact that ppl thought what they were seeing was ps5 power… that can be run on a ps4.

CrimsonWing69749d ago

But the DLC is PS5 exclusive and noticeably better looking isn't it?

RauLeCreuset749d ago

You do know it doesn't run on PS4? The PS4 copy of the base game serves as verification, so PS4 owners can upgrade to and play the PS5 version of the base game. After upgrading to the PS5 version, they'll be able to add and play the DLC. You did know this, right? It seems like you didn't.

The PS4 version of the game is able to update to the PS5 version for free.
Even when this is a PS5 exclusive DLC, but having a PS5 version due to that upgrade path
makes this article very redundant lol.

It's the least they (moreso Sony as I doubt GG would mind the effort but obviously need Sony's blessing to cover costs) can do IMO.

It's not reasonable to make people buy another copy of Horizon Forbidden West when until recently the PS5 wasn't readily available in most regions so players were effectively forced to play HFW on PS4.

Best DLC/Expansion of 2023

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Whether in the form of free DLC (hello God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla) or long-awaited semi-sequels, expansions have blossomed into their own thing across every genre. A commercial & creative necessity for MMOs way back when is now a commonality everywhere. And there's great incentive behind it too; generally speaking, who wouldn't want to have the gameplay skeleton of their favorite titles utilized to explore new storylines and locations? In 2023, this comes with a cost for last-gen-only gamers in the form of Horizon Forbidden West and Cyberpunk 2077. Despite both titles having 8th-gen versions at their respective launches, Guerrilla Games and CD Projekt RED decided to forego the technologically-constraining PS4 and/or Xbox One consoles to fully realize their creative visions.

While that doesn't tell the full story of these four finalists, it's an intriguing factoid that marks 2023 as a turning point in cementing future titles or DLCs for only this current generation... and maybe Switch."

Good year for DLC. I’m at the last boss in Burning Shores and just wrapped the tower party subterfuge in Phantom Liberty. Chef’s kiss.

coolbeans486d ago

Needless to say you're eating good atm.

P_Bomb486d ago

Can’t complain, that’s for sure lol!

God of War Ragnarock vs. Horizon Burning Shores

Ironmike486d ago

Both great dlc but for me phantom liberty takes it

Futureshark486d ago

Even though it was a remake, Separate Ways was a great slice of DLC for me.
The RE4VR update also phenomenal.

I'm not going to lie. After a few dozen car chases I just set it to automatic. Same with QTE's. Between Amazing 1 & 2 plus Marvels 1, Miles & now 2. I'm over those segments.

Would be nice to have games implement an "epilepsy guard" setting for gamers with epilepsy.
