It's not long now until hotly anticipated sequel Horizon Forbidden West releases for the PS5 and PS4 on February 18. With initial reviews for the game looking positive, including GameSpot's, here's how you can get your hands on Horizon Forbidden West as soon as it launches in your region.

Horizon Forbidden West Release Time

Horizon Forbidden West will release on February 18 at midnight, 00:00 AM in your respective timezone. This release timing means that players in some timezones will unlock the game earlier than others, so be careful to avoid spoilers on social media once players start getting their hands on the new Horizon game.

Horizon Forbidden West Pre-Load

The good news is that Horizon Forbidden West allows preload on both PS4 and PS5--with just one exception. Players can begin to pre-load the game from now until its release, by pre-ordering the game through the PlayStation Store. Pre-ordering either version of the game will also net you a handful of pre-order bonuses, including the Nora Legacy outfit and the Nora Legacy spear.
