Sony Planting Trees Every Time Players Unlock a Certain Horizon Forbidden West Trophy
Horizon Forbidden West is launching in only a few more days and excited fans have no doubt become even more so thanks to all the glowing reviews that recently came out. And while those fans already have enough reasons to pick up a copy and start playing immediately, Sony has provided another one for the more environmentally aware players.
