FULL STORY ======================================================================

In celebration of the recent release of Horizon Forbidden West , Sony has erected several life-size replicas of one of the games robotic dinosaur machines in a handful of cities across the globe.

The Clawstrider is a new machine introduced in Forbidden West that's based broadly on the look of a velociraptor, complete with feather-like neck plumes and a retracted toe held off the ground.

A total of 15 1:1 scale statues of the robo dinos appeared in several cities on the games launch day, February 18, to promote and celebrate its release. You can spot them across the globe, including outside the Sydney Opera House in Australia, in Madrids Plaza Del Callo in Spain, Londons Waterloo Station
in the UK, Moscows Depo FoodMall in Russia, Seouls Lotte World Tower in South Korea, as well as San Franciscos Embarcadero Plaza and New Yorks Time Square in the US.

Each one stands about 3.5m tall and will be sticking around until February
24. Theres some variation between them, too, with the Clawstriders posed in different positions. The replicas in New York, San Francisco, and Sydney were even set up alongside an Aloy cosplayer dressed in a full Nora outfit and carrying a bow.

The Clawstriders arent the only statues Sony has been erecting. In Florence, Italy, a white statue of Aloy was revealed around the games launch. Titled

Intricately detailed robotic dinosaurs from a major triple-A release are exciting at the best of times, even if these Clawstrider replicas are simply
a marketing gimmick. But theyre the best kind of marketing gimmick; one thats not only visually impressive, but also comes with some extra goodies for you to win.

The small plaque at the base of each replica is engraved with a string of buttons as part of Sonys PS5 Treat Codes giveaway. Over the next couple of weeks, 14 codes will be appearing across PlayStation promotional material, which can be entered online for a chance to win a free PS5 .

To enter, youll need to head to the PS5 Treat Codes homepage in your browser, enter the code (which on these statues is triangle, circle, L1, right, X, left, R1, square, L2, right), and answer a question. Do that, and youll be in the giveaway.

If youre nearby Sydney, you can also share a picture of the citys Clawstrider statue on Twitter for a chance to win a replica of Aloys Spear or a copy of Horizon Forbidden West Collectors Edition . Best PS5 games
