Horizon Forbidden West, described in our own 2022 review as "nothing short of phenomenal," was largely well-received by fans of the original - but in terms of sheer sales, PlayStation veteran Shuhei Yoshida reveals that he thought the sequel could have performed better.
Speaking in his first interview after departing from PlayStation in 2024, the former president of SIE Worldwide Studios for Sony tells Kinda Funny Games that one game's sales figures, in particular, left him surprised: "The one I was a bit surprised [abou] in terms of the number of units [sold] was the second Horizon game." According to Yoshida, he expected the sequel to sell better as it came after an already well-established IP.
