Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC features unlocked frame rates, customizable graphics settings and a broad range of performance-enhancing technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS 3 upscaling and frame generation. AMD FSR and Intel XeSS are also supported. For players with high-end hardware and extra headroom, image-enhancing NVIDIA DLAA is also available. The game leverages DirectStorage for quick loading times on PC.


On your journey in the far-future post-apocalyptic world of Horizon, you will discover a variety of highly detailed environments, including lush forests, sunken cities, vast deserts and impressive mountain ranges. With ultra-wide support, you’ll be able to take in the vistas in a panoramic view. Gameplay is supported in 21:9 ultra-wide, 32:9 super ultra-wide and even 48:9 resolutions with compatibility for triple-monitor setups.


Fully customizable mouse and keyboard controls let you traverse the Forbidden West and fight ferocious machines on your PC the way you want to. The game also features extensive controller support, including Steam Input support for remapping and customization of your peripheral of choice to your preferences. Use a PlayStation DualSense controller for the most immersive experience, with adaptive triggers that let you feel the tension in the string of your bow and haptic feedback that makes you feel the impact when you’re engaging in melee combat.


On behalf of everyone at Nixxes Software and Guerrilla, we can’t wait for you to jump back into the world of Aloy on PC! Head over to Steam or the Epic Games Store now to pre-purchase or wishlist the game.

 

[Zathalus]

Another DirectStorage title. Neat.

 

[Salz01]

Bring on the mods….

 

[BennyBlanco]

DLSS3. Good shit.

 

[owandeseis]

Not even 240 FPS, 4K and full Path Tracing can make it a good game sadly

 

[Certinty]

On PS+ Premium a year after launch.

On PC just two years after launch.

Interesting.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Seems like the 2 year thing n PC is here to stay.

 

[Klosshufvud]

Sony still trying hard to make Horizon a thing while ignoring games like Ghost of Sushi, Bloodborne and GT7. I am pissed.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Lovely.

Linking Steam to Playstation Network for bonus outfit seems kind of unnecessary.

 

[xVodevil]

Love how it says 'compatible PC required' for unlocked framerate
Anyway this is a skip.. bring on the good stuff, end of March is Dragon's dogma 2 time anyway

 

[SantaC]

I am impressed by sonys inability to release the games that i dont want to play on PC. Where is demon's soul or bloodborne? Literally everyone asks for these.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

I've played this game for a few hours on PS5 and dropped it. Aloy was just insufferable. Still waiting for The Last Guardian and Shadow of The Colossus ports. One day.

 

[Sanepar]

Seems like the 2 year thing n PC is here to stay.

I don't think so... returnal, lbp, ratchet, tlou l1 and miles came in 1 year or less... each case will be evaluated. But for the future the window will be shorter and shorter.

 

[Games of Today]

Really hope this gets modded for ray tracing/path tracing somehow. It would be mind blowing.

This is a game, like Cyber Punk and Red Dead 2 that needs support for these graphical features.

I want to fucking blast this thing.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Glorious mouse+ kb, here I go.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Sony still trying hard to make Horizon a thing while ignoring games like Ghost of Sushi, Bloodborne and GT7. I am pissed.

The first Horizon sold more than even Uncharted 4 (over 16M copies). More than any game you just mentioned...and the second had sold 8.4M by April last year which is faster than Ghost of Tsushima that was at 7. something after a year, more than Bloodborne and GT7 as far as we know.

The game is happening already...

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Fat mod gonna be so good.

 

[Sentenza]

I can't even pretend to be hyped for this, given how little I liked the first, but I'm curious to see what people will have to say about the port's quality.

 

[Represent.]

Best looking game of the gen imo

 

[analog_future]

Game was always artistically ugly, and now the tech is no longer cutting edge either.


Easy pass for me.

 

[Kenpachii]

Couldn't get into the first game.

If this game is still a huge cutscene fest, i will skip it also.

Still DLSS 3 is great, hope frame gen is included in it.

Thought the game already had it, oh no sorry thats fat face

 

[nbkicker]

For me didnt finish the first on ps4 and reading how the dlc etc now pushing lbgt etc into main charachter think ill oeave it, think the only sony game i want on pc would be ghosts of tus

 

[nikos]

One more game I'm not interested in off of the list. Hopefully the next one is good.

 

[MikeM]

Got the plat on PS5. Absolutely double dipping day 1 so long as its a good port. Waited for this for the DLC.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Why would you launch this one day before DD2? Starting to think Guerilla has a fetish for being overshadowed. Anyway it’s good to see Nixxes continuing to work with both AMD and Nvidia.

Thanks. I knew i was right but i wasn't going to bother answering lmao.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It's available for pre-purchase on Steam.

Also, it's $50 on GMG (Steam Key)

 

[Lokaum D+]

Hot Alloy mod day one.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I skipped the expansion on PS5. Tempting to get this for PC since it comes with the expansion. I'll keep it in my steam wishlist for now.

 

[Kerotan]

I skipped the expansion on PS5. Tempting to get this for PC since it comes with the expansion. I'll keep it in my steam wishlist for now.

The expansion takes about 10 Hours to do everything. Those 10 Hours are way more fun then any 10 hours from the main game. Burning shores is the peak of the franchise.

 

[Klosshufvud]

The first Horizon sold more than even Uncharted 4 (over 16M copies). More than any game you just mentioned...and the second had sold 8.4M by April last year which is faster than Ghost of Tsushima that was at 7. something after a year, more than Bloodborne and GT7 as far as we know.

They pretty much gave the game away though. Herman Hulst has an obvious soft spot for his generic personality-devoid red head.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Thanks for utilizing Direct Storage. It will be insane if Ninja Theory doesn't use it for their game.

 

[Edellus]

I'm glad PC gamers get to enjoy this game too now.

I suggest to take your time playing this game, enjoy the scenery, and remember that even though there are markers in the map, you don't have to play it as a checklist game (most of it is entirely optional). Also, you might want to start in hard difficulty and see if the challenge is manegable for you (you can change difficulty at any time too).

 

[Stamps1646]

I never picked it up on PS4, so I'll be down to pick it up on PC. <3

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

You have quite a hate boner for this game don't you? I can understand disliking it because it's not your cup of tea, but downplaying its success is bonkers when we know that HZD is one of the most successful new IPs from Sony.

Linked data is pulled from Feb 2022. HZD had an estimated budget of over €45 million.

 

[Ozriel]

Sony still trying hard to make Horizon a thing while ignoring games like Ghost of Sushi, Bloodborne and GT7. I am pissed.

Horizon is the best performing PC port, I believe. The Steamdeck crowd loves that title too. I don’t believe Tsushima PC would sell more than Horizon FW.

 

[CamHostage]

Right, Tsushima might do well, but the priorities are obviously purposeful (especially the Deck being a strong target sub-audience, given that H:ZD worked well and was popular on the handheld... *sigh*, RIP Vita.)

Tsushima also would be the first game ported to PC on that Sucker Punch custom engine, whereas a few Decima titles have been done and Guerilla + Nixxes Software have experience integrating workflow for port projects.
