Helldivers 2 has been a huge live-service success for Sony, but otherwise, its recent 'forever game' efforts appear to be faltering. Hero shooter Concord was shut down within weeks. Recent reports claim that a God of War multiplayer game has also been cancelled. And now, seemingly, an in-development MMORPG based on Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West has gone the way of the non-robotic dinosaur. Produced by NCSoft, the Korean developer behind Aion and Throne and Liberty, the Horizon MMO is - or was - separate to Guerilla Games' own alleged multiplayer project. But fresh information suggests it's been abandoned.
The Horizon Zero Dawn remastered system requirements have been revealed, and while you'll need a significantly better gaming PC to run this over the original, it's far from out of touch for older setups. This Horizon Zero Dawn remaster takes a lot of its graphical improvements fr
The Horizon Zero Dawn remastered system requirements have been revealed, and while you'll need a significantly better gaming PC to run this over the original, it's far from out of touch for older setups.
This Horizon Zero Dawn remaster takes a lot of its graphical improvements from Horizon Forbidden West, but thankfully won't require the best graphics card to run. Nvidia DLSS 3 and AMD FSR will be present on launch day to help with resolution upscaling, while Nvidia also brings frame generation for its RTX 4000 graphics cards.
When Horizon Zero Dawn first came out on the PlayStation 4 in 2017, it was one of the console's most technically impressive games to date. Its visuals still held up well, too, when it arrived on PC in 2020. Still, despite this, creator Guerrilla Games and publisher Sony announced
When Horizon Zero Dawn first came out on the PlayStation 4 in 2017, it was one of the console's most technically impressive games to date. Its visuals still held up well, too, when it arrived on PC in 2020. Still, despite this, creator Guerrilla Games and publisher Sony announced the existence of a new, enhanced version of the game, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, set to come out as a standalone purchase or as a cheaper upgrade very soon. Now, perhaps because owning the original allows players to get the remaster for less money than buying it as a standalone, we've learned that the original version has recently been delisted on the Epic Games Store.
Even the most beautiful of games is worthy of getting a little upgrade. When it released back in 2017, Horizon Zero Dawn was one of the best looking games anyone had ever seen. Now, it's going to look even better, with Sony revealing Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered , and you won't h

Now, it's going to look even better, with Sony revealing Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and you won't have to wait long to play it.
Picking out the best first-party PlayStation games from recent years is a tall order. Some of the open-world adventures do feel homogenous, sure, but there's still a lot of joy to be found in these big-budget games. Between Marvel's Spider-Man, Returnal, God of War, and Horizon Z
Picking out the best first-party PlayStation games from recent years is a tall order. Some of the open-world adventures do feel homogenous, sure, but there's still a lot of joy to be found in these big-budget games. Between Marvel's Spider-Man, Returnal, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn, the breadth of experiences is one few studios can ever hope to match. So if the price of the PS5 Pro has you wincing but you want to fill in some gaps, you'll be happy to hear that a PlayStation Steam sale is offering almost everything it has on PC.

Hey everyone,
Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is coming to PC soon! Last month, we've detailed the main PC features and now that we are getting closer to launch on March 21, we can share the system requirements and give you more details about some of the customization options that we have added to the PC version.
To ensure the game runs on a wide variety of PC hardware, including portable gaming devices, we've included graphics presets ranging from very low to very high. This allows gamers with the latest hardware to push their systems, while also providing a great experience on less powerful PCs. Below you'll find an overview of the specifications we recommend for a variety of presets available in the game.
If you prefer to tweak settings and visuals to your own liking, you'll find plenty of options in the launcher and in the game menus. Next to individual quality settings for textures, level of detail, shadows, water, terrain and more, you can use sliders to adjust the field of view and visual effects like motion blur. You'll also find toggles to adjust full screen effects like radial blur, lens flares, bloom and vignette to taste.
On behalf of the teams at Nixxes and Guerrilla, we are excited and looking forward to bringing Aloy’s latest adventure to a new audience on PC!

Despite releasing over a year ago on PC, developer Guerilla has released a brand-new update for Horizon Zero Dawn. While this patch brings various performance improvements that will benefit all gaming PCs, the biggest additions are undoubtedly Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR upscaling technologies.
Despite the fact that the game uses checkboard rendering on the PS4 Pro to push resolution up to 4K on the console, the same tech didn't make its way over to the PC version. However, everyone will now be able to boost fps in Horizon Zero Dawn with AMD FSR upscaling, regardless of what brand of GPU you're using.
Unfortunately, you'll need one of Nvidia's best graphics cards to use the company's DLSS technology (sorry GTX 10 series owners). However, if you have a compatible card, you should enjoy a solid fps boost, while also maintaining higher visual fidelity.

Hi everyone!
We’re happy to announce we’ve just released Patch 1.11 for our PC players. Here’s what this patch contains:
Graphical Improvements
Added Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology.
Added AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution, replacing FidelityFX CAS.
UI Changes
Adjusted settings screen to facilitate the addition of DLSS and FSR.
Render Scale option has been removed but same result can now be accomplished by adjusting setting Upscale Method to Simple and adjusting Upscale Quality.
Performance Improvements
Improvement to the shader management system. This will result in a few noticeable differences:
There is no longer a shader pre-compilation step on startup. The game will always compile shaders during loading and in the background.
Stutters during gameplay that used to occur due to background shader compilation have now been significantly reduced.
Because shader compilation is still happening in the background you may notice the game having a higher CPU utilization while that is happening.
Loading screens will wait for the required shaders to be fully compiled. This may cause loading screens to take somewhat longer on certain systems.
On higher spec machines with faster CPUs the loading screens will typically be shorter, due to more efficient shader compilation that better leverages high-end CPUs.
Please ensure your game is up-to-date before heading back out into the wilds, and reach out to us if you’re still experiencing any issues. We appreciate all of your wonderful support and feedback; we wish you a fun-filled festive period!

In a Gamescom virtual event relatively light on content, the release of a free 60 frames per second PS5 upgrade for Horizon Zero Dawn was a definite highlight, giving another Sony first-party classic the full frame-rate upgrade and dramatically improving the experience as a result. This patch is an interesting, because unlocking 60fps is not as easy as flicking a switch, as demonstrated by the initial release of the PC version last year. This showed that simply removing the frame-rate cap brought into a focus a range of issues for a game designed primarily with 30fps in mind. Put simply, it's clear that this patch took real effort to produce and it's likely that many of the solutions in the revised PC version worked their way back to this new PlayStation 5 upgrade too. The bottom line is that however Guerrilla managed it, it works, and it works well.
So, what does the patch actually do? On the face of it, Horizon Zero Dawn follows the template laid down by the God of War, Days Gone and the initial Ghost of Tsushima patches in that graphics are totally unchanged from the original release and frame-rate is unlocked, with v-sync providing a 60fps limit. That means that the 2160p checkerboarding solution remains in place, but the PS4 Pro's alternative 1368p native rendering performance mode option has been removed as it's essentially redundant. Despite no improvements in how the game renders, there's an argument to say that graphics have improved perceptually thanks to the frame-rate upgrade - simply because checkerboarding artefacts persist for just one display refresh now rather than two. On a modern LCD screen, this helps to blend them somewhat, making them less noticeable.
In terms of actual performance, you are effectively looking at a locked 60fps experience that is nigh-on perfect. Even in backwards compatibility mode, PS5 offers substantial upgrades over PS4 Pro - a 2.5x multiplier in compute performance and twice the memory bandwidth. In prior 'back-compat plus' first-party patches, we've seen that translate into a performance bump that scales almost in line with the compute boost. With Horizon Zero Dawn specifically, we only noted one slight drop in an early cutscene, then it was a straight 60fps from there on out. If the game does deviate from the 60fps target, it should only do so fleetingly and you may not notice it at all. I'd describe performance overall as impeccable.
