The menus themselves remain much the same, but the various v-sync options now work properly too, without the massive performance drop the borderless windowed mode had when the game launched. The initial shader compilation that took so long back in the day is now carried out in the background, allowing you to visit the settings screen while it's in progress or even start the game (I would recommend letting the shader caching process complete, however). When the game first released, booting the title at 4K resolution saw Horizon actually internally render at the correct resolution, before downscaling to 1080p, then upscaling back up to 2160p - this is now fixed. It's not perfect, it's still far from ideal, but Guerrilla Games has taken onboard feedback and corrected many of the issues, while dramatically improving performance in some scenarios.Įven just loading up the game, there are some immediately apparent differences. On release, performance and the overall quality of the user experience was poor, but six months on there's no doubt about it: the game has dramatically improved. Stay tuned as we continue to watch for further updates leading up to the launch window next year.With the announcement of more PlayStation exclusives coming to PC, starting with Days Gone this Spring, the time felt right to return to Horizon Zero Dawn, Sony's first full-blooded attempt at porting one of its most celebrated triple-A masterpieces.

Horizon Forbidden West was a delightful continuation of Aloy’s adventures to restart a world-saving agriculture-and-machine hybrid system and save the broken world from complete collapse. It’s a package containing most of the Horizon Forbidden West content and bonus content, including the Burning Shores DLC, digital art book and soundtrack, a Horizon Zero Dawn digital comic book, and in-game items in the way of special armors, weapons, and unique poses and face paints for Photo Mode. The Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition launching on PC in early 2024 and October for PS5 players will include the Burning Shores DLC.Īdditionally, Sony discussed the Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition that’s on the way.

The crew handling the port will be Nixxes Software, which has handled a number of other PlayStation-to-PC ports, including Marvel’s Spider-Man, the Miles Morales sequel, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. According to the post, Horizon Forbidden West is officially slated to arrive on PC in early 2024.

Sony announced the Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition and PC release window in a new PlayStation Blog post this week.

It was announced alongside a Complete Edition that, among other bonuses, will come with the Burning Shores DLC, and it’s slated to arrive on PC in early 2024. It would make sense given that Horizon Zero Dawn also eventually went over to PC, but Sony officially confirmed the upcoming release of the sequel on the platform. It looks like Horizon Forbidden West is the latest PlayStation Studios title up to head over to PC, and now we have an idea of when.
