Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores: Can You Play It on PS4?

The short answer is no, you can't play Burning Shores on PS4.

Despite the fact that Horizon Forbidden West is available to play on both PS5 and PS4, the expansion pack is only available on PS5. There's no compatible version for PS4. If you want to play Burning Shores, you will need to upgrade to the PS5 version.

Why Is There No PS4 Version of Burning Shores?

Guerrilla Games has explained that it wanted to expand its vision for the DLC and fully take advantage of the PS5's power, which meant it had to leave the last-gen version behind. New technology allows Burning Shores to feature voxel-based volumetric cloud formations you can fly through, and of course, a boss fight against a gargantuan machine has been teased, and we imagine this is only possible on PS5 too.
