Of course! That’s what we’re here for. And if you act before April 22, there’s still time tograb nine other free gamesincludingSubnautica. Sonyalso saysit’ll have “another Play at Home update to share soon.”
Worth remembering: you don’t need PlayStation Plus. This is actually “free.”
Apart from the substantial base game,Horizon Zero Dawn:Complete Editionalso comes withThe Frozen Wilds(an expansion quite a few of us missed), some miscellaneous outfit and gear packs, a digital art book, and a PS4 theme. Normally, Sony charges $20 for this version, so it’s a pretty nice giveaway.
As a sort of refresher, here’s a clip of someone going to town on a Thunderjaw:

I’m not sure what else needs to be said about this game — you all know it well enough by now. You’ve either played through it already, you’ve chipped away at it but never finished Aloy’s journey because the open world distracted you (same here), or you’ve needed a nudge like this giveaway. Or you don’t care.
By all means, claim away. It’s no accident thatHZDhas a strong fan following and people are generally feeling good about the sequel’s potential. You might end up loving it. And withHorizon Forbidden Weststaying essentially silent lately, there should be plenty of time to get situated. No rush at all.
I’d consider givingHorizon Zero Dawnanother spin from scratch if there was 60FPS support on PS5, but as is, I’m leaning toward trying outDays Gonethe next time I have wiggle room in my backlog. Maybe. I’m very much in a pick-up-and-play mood right now and neither of them resonate with me that way.
