Does🌃 it make sense to call sales figures 'hench'? Horizon Forbidden West is the PS5’s second-biggest physical launch so far, behinꦯd only Spider-Man: Miles Morales in the UK.

I𝔉t’s a particularly impressive feat when you consider t🌞hat Forbidden West is available on PS4 too - and unlike Miles Morales, isn’t a console launch title. The new Horizon game comes in just ahead of FIFA 22.

, Forbidden West’s physical launch sales are down 35% compared to 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn. But drawing too many conclusions from that fact alone would be unwise: many more players are buying games digitally in 2022.

Lower down the UK boxed charts, Cyberpunk 2077 has reentered at number 23 - a 271% week-on-week sales jump. We can safely put that down to the long-awaited 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new gen update which has enhan🎐ced the game for PS5, as well as Xbox Series consoles. 

GamesRadar+ editor Sam judged 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Forbidden West to be “phenomenal” in her review last week - and that was before we knew that protagonist 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Aloy sweats when in hotter areas of the game’s map. That’s some impressive attention to detail🎀, and makes me feel better about my own, er, ‘physical release’ when in hot climates. Sweating is a national pastime for Brits abroad.

Forbidden? We’ll see about that. Here’s our comprehensive 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:guide to Horizon Forbidden West, featuring tips and map specifics.
