The First Official PS5 Bundle Costs $550 And Comes With Horizon Forbidden West
Though it's not uncommon to find a PS5 bundle, up until now all of them have been unofficial retailer-made bundles designed to make consumers spend more money when purchasing the elusive console. But after more than 1.5 years, Sony is releasing the first official PS5 bundle. PlayStation Direct has listed PS5 and PS5 Digital editions featuring Horizon Forbidden West. They have been available in the UK for a couple of weeks, but PS Direct is the first US retailer to list them.
The bundles aren't available for purchase yet, but you'll want to make sure you are registered for the chance to purchase a PS5 from PS Direct. Considering that the listing is live on PlayStation Direct, we imagine they will be up for grabs soon.
The standard PS5 bundle costs $550, while the PS5 Digital bundle goes for $450. Overall, you're saving $20 off of the list price of Horizon Forbidden West by purchasing the bundle--if you can get your hands on it, of course. Regardless of which PS5 model you choose, the bundle comes with a voucher with a game key that can be redeemed on the PlayStation Store.
While the PS5 has been extremely difficult to find in stock since the start of 2022, Sony's sales forecast for the rest of the year suggests that the PlayStation 5 will be available for purchase more often in the coming months. Still, don't be surprised if this Horizon Forbidden West bundle sells out in minutes.
