Launching brand new franchises is always a risky business, but Horizon: Zero Dawn has been an enormous success for Sony. After selling over 2.6 million units within its first two weeks on store shelves, the Guerrilla Games developed action role-playing release has now hit 3.4 million units as of 30th April.

This statistic is particularly impressive when you consider that the title’s yet to enjoy a price drop – though it’s rumoured to be part of Sony’s global Days of Play promotion next week – and is yet to be widely bundled. It means that the title could easily eclipse five million units when all’s said and done, which is massive for an unproven property on a single platform.
