PlayStation users will get Aloy and her bow for free post version 2.1 update – via the in-game mail. However, players who are on different platforms have to wait till version 2.2 to get Aloy and her bow.

Players can also claim Aloy on PlayStation and then use her on any other platform like PC or Mobile, all thanks to the new cross-save feature.
