Horizon: Zero Dawn sales pass 7.6 million on its first birthday

Horizon: Zero Dawn is celebrating its first birthday, and sales for the PlayStation 4 exclusive have passed 7.6 million.

The open-world game received praise from critics and gamers for its beautiful landscapes, crisp graphics, and engaging writing. This sales milestone makes Horizon one of the PlayStation 4’s most popular exclusives. To give you something to compare it against, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End sold 8.7 million copies about seven-and-a-half months after it launched in May 2016. But that series is an established franchise. It’s impressive for Horizon to come close to the number as a debut game.
