Genshin impact is all set to have a collaboration with one of the leading PlayStation franchises, Horizon, and the community is eagerly looking forward to it.

Announced a few weeks ago, the Horizon collaboration has been one of the most talked-about aspects in the gaming industry. As part of the collaboration, Aloy, the Horizon franchise's protagonist will be joining the game as a playable character. This is the first time we will be getting a collab character in the game, so obviously, fans have tons of expectations.

Recently, a leak revealed that the upcoming game in the Horizon franchise, Horizon Forbidden West, has been delayed to 2022. This led many fans to believe that the release of Aloy would be delayed as well.

However, it seems like that miHoYo has decided to stick with its plans. Insiders have revealed that there will be another Aloy drop closer to the launch of Horizon Forbidden West. There has been no official confirmation about this till now, but it seems exceedingly likely.

Genshin Impact: How to get Aloy on PC & PlayStation

miHoYo organized a live stream recently detailing players about all the upcoming stuff in the 2.1 update. Apart from three new characters, there will be new weapons, items, quests coming as well, just like the other updates. However, considering that this update will be launching near the anniversary, there will be some big stuff coming in the update as well.

Alongside that, we got some more information about how players will be able to get Aloy in the game. With the update already live, Aloy can be obtained by players out there. For PlayStation users, Aloy will be available during the 2.2 update, which is slated to arrive in mid-October. All players need to do is connect their Genshin Impact account with PlayStation Network and then they will automatically get the characters.

For PC players, they need to wait a bit longer. Aloy will be available for free for PC players during the 2.3 Update, which will be arriving in December, if miHoYo follows the six-week schedule.
