Horizon Zero Dawn for PS4 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 3,200, stocked at our Old Mutual Building store on First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This 2017 action role-playing title from Guerrilla Games runs on every PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro console. The single-player disc puts you in control of Aloy, a hunter navigating a post-apocalyptic Earth overrun by robotic Machines. Horizon Zero Dawn ships as a physical Blu-ray disc, so you own the full game outright with no download fees. Mascom International keeps Horizon Zero Dawn in stock for same-day Nairobi collection.
Horizon Zero Dawn suits PlayStation 4 owners across Kenya who want a long single-player campaign rather than another online shooter. University students at Strathmore, USIU, and the University of Nairobi get 30-plus hours of story from one KSh 3,200 purchase. Many Nairobi gamers buy a console, then struggle to find affordable physical titles that justify the hardware. Horizon Zero Dawn answers that gap with an open-world map, dozens of side quests, and a combat system built around hunting mechanical creatures. Casual players and dedicated RPG fans both get a complete offline game that needs no PlayStation Plus subscription to enjoy.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock only current-year titles at inflated prices, Mascom International prices Horizon Zero Dawn at KSh 3,200 a fraction of its 2017 launch cost. The game has sold over 24 million copies worldwide and won a British Academy Games Award, so the quality is settled, not speculative. Kenyan gamers consistently rank it among the strongest single-player PS4 titles for the money. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for proven PlayStation classics as more Kenyans buy second-hand and new PS4 consoles. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to pick up Horizon Zero Dawn today.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Horizon Zero Dawn for PS4
What is Horizon Zero Dawn about?
Horizon Zero Dawn is an open-world action role-playing game set on a future Earth where robotic Machines roam and humans live in scattered tribes. You play as Aloy, a young hunter searching for the truth about her origins. The game mixes ranged bow combat, stealth, crafting, and exploration across a large map. Guerrilla Games built it on the Decima engine, the same technology behind Death Stranding. The story runs as a single-player campaign with no multiplayer mode, focused entirely on Aloy's journey.
Does Horizon Zero Dawn work on my PS4 and PS5?
Horizon Zero Dawn runs natively on every PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro console. On a standard PS4 the game outputs 1080p; on PS4 Pro it pushes checkerboard 4K with HDR support for sharper visuals on compatible TVs. The disc also plays on PlayStation 5 through backward compatibility, so your purchase carries forward if you upgrade. Note that the separate PS5 Remastered edition is a different product. This PS4 disc is the original 2017 release and needs a PlayStation 4 or PS5 to run.
How long does it take to finish Horizon Zero Dawn?
Horizon Zero Dawn takes roughly 25 to 30 hours to finish the main story, and 60-plus hours if you complete side quests and collectibles. That works out to well under KSh 110 per hour of entertainment at the KSh 3,200 price. The open world holds bandit camps, hunting grounds, and tribal settlements that add dozens of hours beyond the main path. For Kenyan students or working gamers with limited evening time, the game saves progress freely, so you play in short sessions across several weeks.
Is Horizon Zero Dawn worth KSh 3,200 in Kenya?
Yes, Horizon Zero Dawn offers strong value at KSh 3,200 in Kenya's market. The game originally retailed near KSh 6,500 at its 2017 launch, so the current price is roughly half. It carries an 89 Metacritic score and over 24 million copies sold worldwide, placing it among the best-reviewed PS4 exclusives. Compared with newer titles costing KSh 6,000 to KSh 9,000 in Nairobi shops, Horizon Zero Dawn gives more content per shilling. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us it remains one of the top single-player picks available.
Does Horizon Zero Dawn need internet or PlayStation Plus?
No, Horizon Zero Dawn is a fully offline single-player game that needs no internet connection or PlayStation Plus subscription to play. Once the disc is installed, you can play the entire campaign without data costs useful given Kenya's mobile data pricing. There are no online modes, microtransactions, or always-online requirements. This matters during load-shedding or unstable connections, since the game never pauses to check a server. You buy it once at KSh 3,200 and own the complete game with no recurring fees.
Does this version include The Frozen Wilds expansion?
This depends on the specific edition Mascom International has in stock, so confirm with our team before ordering. The standard Horizon Zero Dawn disc contains the base game only. The Complete Edition disc bundles The Frozen Wilds expansion plus bonus outfits and weapons. The Frozen Wilds adds a new snowbound region and roughly 15 extra hours of content. Mascom International will tell you exactly which version your KSh 3,200 covers when you call or visit.
Is Horizon Zero Dawn suitable for children?
Horizon Zero Dawn carries a PEGI 16 and ESRB Teen rating, meaning it suits players aged roughly 16 and above. The game contains combat violence against humans and machines, mild language, and some tense story moments, but no graphic gore or sexual content. Parents buying for younger Kenyan teens should review the rating first. The combat is action-focused rather than horror, centred on bow-and-arrow hunting. For most secondary school and university-age gamers in Kenya, the content sits within age-appropriate limits.
How does Horizon Zero Dawn compare to Horizon Forbidden West?
Horizon Zero Dawn is the first game in the series and the direct prequel to Horizon Forbidden West, released in 2022. Playing Zero Dawn first gives you the full story context for Aloy's later adventures. Zero Dawn runs on PS4, while Forbidden West targets PS4 and PS5. At KSh 3,200, Zero Dawn costs far less than the newer sequel, which still sells for KSh 5,000-plus in Kenya. New players should start here to follow the narrative in order. Both games share the same hunting-and-crafting combat foundation.
Can I get Horizon Zero Dawn delivered outside Nairobi?
Yes, Mascom International ships Horizon Zero Dawn to all 47 Kenyan counties with pay-on-arrival delivery. Nairobi buyers get same-day delivery, while Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret receive the disc within one business day. You pay only when the game reaches you, never before.
