Hermen Hulst, Managing Director and Co-Founder, Guerrilla said of the success of Horizon;

We had huge ambition for Horizon Zero Dawn and as we approached the launch we knew people were excited, but to see sales of this volume is truly mind blowing.

Since launch, millions of players have joined Aloy on a quest to discover the secrets of the old ones. We hope they enjoy playing Horizon Zero Dawn as much as we enjoyed making it

Both the avatar bundle and theme are free to download from the PlayStation Store.
