Horizon Forbidden West is one of the most eagerly anticipated games of 2022, arriving in February alongside titles like Elden Ring, Dying Light 2, Sifu, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, and others. It'll be interesting to see how all of these games fare when pitted against each other, but there could be delays between now and then. Regardless, Horizon Forbidden West is getting ready to be released.

Fans now know how large Horizon Forbidden West's file size will be when it launches on PS5, as well as a rough estimate for PS4. Because games tend to grow in size, it should come as no surprise that the game is massive.

Horizon Forbidden West's PS5 download size is 96.350 GBs, excluding the day one patch. It's unclear what will be included in the day one patch, but it'll almost certainly be larger than 100 GBs. It should be noted that certain games in the database have larger sizes than when they were published on console, often between 10 and 20 GBs, but this still implies that it's 70 GBs or more, with the possibility of exceeding 100 GBs. Though the exact difference has not been determined, the PS5 file size is likely to be in the same ballpark.

Horizon Forbidden West, fortunately, can be pre-loaded for one entire week before its release. Horizon Forbidden West will be released on February 18th, with pre-loads starting on February 11th. Whether you plan to play it on the PS4 or PS5, you'll have plenty of time to make sure you have adequate free space on both consoles. Fans of Horizon will also want to consider the other games if any of them capture their eye.

In any case, Horizon Forbidden West won't be out for long, and fans will once again take on the role of Aloy. Her journey takes her to the titular Forbidden West, and the rest is sure to be epic.

Horizon Forbidden West will be released on PS4 and PS5 on February 18th.
