With the release of Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC, fans can finally continue the blight-curing endeavors with Aloy. After completing certain prerequisites, players will be able to enter the new area provided by the expansion. Additionally, they will encounter new characters, robots, and challenges in the desolate landmass.
Completion of the Horizon Forbidden West Walkthrough is the primary requirement to progress into the Burning Shores DLC. Moreover, players will have to return to the control tower at the climax of the ‘Singularity’ mission. This will automatically unlock a new quest, provided that the expansion has been purchased and installed in the system.

Today’s article will expand on how to start the new DLC from the Horizon series on PS5. To avoid any confusion, players can refer to the article to ease into the new quest line.
How to unlock the expansion
The brand new extension of Horizon Forbidden West is dispatching players on a mission with Aloy. Moreover, the new story will take place in a new region, which is the remains of Los Angeles. The agitated land will pose some major threats in the apocalyptic adventure, which will excite its player base.
Anyone willing to access the Burning Shores DLC will have to purchase it from the official PlayStation Store. It is currently available at a price tag of $19.99 to justify the 15 hours of gameplay. Now, the only thing left would be to download and install the extended pack, which consumes roughly 16 GB of storage space.
Players can now play the expansion after hopping into the game. Inside, a new quest should begin with a call from Sylens. However, if the aforementioned quest is unavailable, then the following requirements have to be met to access it.
Prerequisites to access the DLC
Horizon fans will have to do the needful and travel to the ruins of California, where the new story takes place. As mentioned earlier, players can access the DLC only after completing the main quest in Horizon: Forbidden West. Here is a complete rundown of what they can do to start the Burning Shores campaign.
- Complete the “Singularity” mission from the main story of the base game. It includes defeating the Spectral Prime and returning to the control tower.
- Now, standby for a call from Sylen. He will contact Aloy’s focus, asking for help.
- Listen to the conversation where Aloy will be requested to travel to Tailda’s mansion. Visit the location marked on the map.
- Finally, interact with Sylen at the mansion to begin the new expansion quest.
There are circumstances where gamers load up a new game after the story is completed. In that case, they should reload their final mission ‘saved files’ to access the DLC.
