It looks like Horizon Forbidden West is going to put a strain on your PS5 hard drive…

Horizon Forbidden West promises to be one of the strongest releases of 2022 in a year that’s bursting with big titles. With a release date in February, Guerrilla is already trying to raise our expectations with a spectacular trailer and improved mechanics. Of course, all this comes at a price beyond the cost of the game: space on the console. That price seems to be considerable in this case.

Horizon Forbidden West will take up more than 96 GB on PS5

As some users browsing the PS5 database have pointed out, according to Gamerant, it looks like Horizon Forbidden West will take up over 96GB to download on the next-gen console, not including the first-day patch. So this confirms that Aloy’s game will make its mark on all PS5s, not least because of the size of the adventure.

It should be noted that this information is not always accurate, as the figures provided by the databases can vary by up to 20 GB. However, what is certain is that the title will take up more than 70 GB, which is definitely a massive release. If you’re already shivering about the download time this game will require, remember that the pre-download starts a week before release so that you can take advantage of those extra seven days.
