Horizon Zero Dawn has sold well over 10 million copies worldwide (2 year anniversary update)

[ArmGunar]

It's hard to believe that two whole years have passed since we released Horizon Zero Dawn. When the game launched on February 28, I was attending GDC and counting down the minutes with a group of fellow Guerrillas and Shuhei Yoshida. Early feedback suggested that we had something special on our hands, but we never suspected that we'd still be receiving daily messages of appreciation from our players in 2019.

And yet, here we are, already well over 10 million copies sold worldwide; the idea that we were able to bring Aloy's journey to so many players is astounding. We've been deeply moved by the enormous amount of fan creations you've posted online, as well as the heartfelt letters you've sent sharing your favorite moments from Aloy's journey.

Assuming this is sold through, congrats!

 

[silva1991]

Well deserved. Hopefully they never go back to Killzone and continue making awsome third person action games..

 

[score01]

Just give me the sequel already!

 

[Deleted member 135]

Best game of 2017. Damn good stuff. Can't wait for the sequel (Horizon Far Zenith PS5 launch?).

 

[MillionIII]

Fuck yeah horizon is one best games this gen

 

[Transistor]

They deserve every sale and more. This game is one of my favorites of the gen.

 

[Cloud_Strife]

Well deserved. Best PS4 exclusive. :)

 

[Kyoufu]

The game and the DLC together were like $20 and sometimes $10 last year.

Happy for the milestone, but hope someone actually made money after the price drop.

Are you being serious, LOL?

 

[Sulik2]

Oh wow its been two years? That probably means the sequel is gonna be a launch game for the PS5. The timing is right.

 

[SomeoneSomewhere]

Meh. That means we will get another HZD. Was hoping we will see another Killzone in the future.

 

[modiz]

oh my god.
CONGRATS GG!!
it is such a fantastic game and for a new exclusive IP to sell that well, is absolutely crazy.

They sold 7.6 million in the first year of the game so i think they're fine.

It sold 2.5 mil in the first two weeks at full price. It sold 7.6 mil in its first year, well before regular deep discounting like you mentioned happened. The game was clearly and obviously a massive success, and your musing that they didn't make money on it is strange. Late life price drops have been proven to be a good way to get people interested in a game, especially if there is going to be a sequel. Those $20 games may not have drastically improved profits, but they will likely aid the next game's sales by hooking people on it.

 

[edo_kid]

Well deserved.

 

[Canucked]

Yay! Horizon was something else man. Loved every second. Great gaming year.

 

[dynamitejim]

One of my favorite games of all time. I'm glad GG found their groove and can't wait to see what they have cooking for next gen.
