Horizon Zero Dawn is available to download right now for all PlayStation 4 and 5 players (via PlayStation Europe).

You lucky lot, not ONLY is this a freebie, but it’s also the Complete Edition! This version of the game not only includes the base Horizon Zero Dawn, but also its fantastic expansion, The Frozen Wilds.

What’s This All About?

As part of Sony’s Play at Home initiative, you’re free to download Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition even if you don’t subscribe to PlayStation Plus. Better still, once downloaded, it’s yours to keep forever.

What’s The Story of Horizon Zero Dawn?

No spoilers here, so read on without fear!

The story of Horizon Zero Dawn takes place in the 31st century. You live in a post-apocalyptic world, where mysterious machines have taken over the planet. Civilisation, as we know it today, has gone. Society is now made up of tribal factions, who simply refer to us as the old-world.

However, when Aloy discovers an ancient piece of technology called a Focus, she discovers that there’s more to this world than we were led to believe. Against her tribe’s wishes, she embarks on a mission to discover the lost secrets of our world.

Without giving too much away, the expansion of The Frozen Wilds adds a new region to what already is a huge map. You’ll get to play a new story, as well as new quests, characters, creatures, and more. 

While The Frozen Wild appears on the main map, it is tailored for players level 30 and above. If you want our advice, it would be to take on The Frozen Wilds after you’re done with the main campaign.

In my opinion, this game is one of the best PS4 games of its generation. If you’re yet to play this title, then you’re in for a treat.

Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition is available to download for free right now and you’ll have until May 14th to claim this awesome freebie. It is also playable on both PS4 and PS5.

The sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West is currently set to release for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 by the end of 2021.
