A new update patch has just been released for the PC version of Horizon Forbidden West that corrects some problems players have been having with the Nvidia Reflex On+Boost feature, among other things. The second Horizon game launched on PlayStation consoles back in 2022, earning mainly positive reviews for its stunning visuals and impressive vocal performances, even if some found the story to be lacking. Last month, Horizon Forbidden West became one of the latest Sony-published titles to make the jump to PC courtesy of Nixxes Software, the developer behind ports like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut.

The gameplay video of Forbidden West was shared on YouTube by known GeForce evangelist Jacob Freeman and highlights how great the PC version looks on a powerful system. You can check out the gameplay video below. As said, it shows Guerrilla's Zero Dawn sequel running on a GeForce RTX 4080 super at 80FPS with NVIDIA's Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing tech (DLAA).

The PC version from developer Nixxes has received several patches since its release and the Dutch developer has confirmed that the team is working to add support for AMD FSR 3.
Horizon Forbidden West is available worldwide now for PC, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. The complete edition includes the Burning Shores expansion which is only available on PC and PS5. Wonder what we thought about the PC port ourselves? We've included a paragraph from our article on the PC version below:
"That's not the case here at all. Despite the vast and highly detailed open world featured in Horizon Forbidden West, stuttering is nearly non-existent, and powerful rigs can focus on turning on all the graphics settings without worrying too much about performance. Personally, with my RTX 4090 GPU, I went with a combination of DLSS Frame Generation and DLAA to achieve maximum visual fidelity while keeping an average of over 70 frames per second (and consistent frame times) at 4K with maxed settings.
When I reviewed the game on PlayStation 5, one of my few complaints was directed to the aliasing that plagued the Performance mode. Guerrilla Games has thoroughly improved this area on PS5 through various patches, but the PC version still easily takes the cake when it comes to visual clarity when DLAA is enabled."

Horizon Forbidden West PC Performance Review
Horizon Forbidden West is one of the best-looking games on consoles, period – a statement that now extends to PC thanks to this port from Nixxes, the Sony-owned studio responsible for the recent PC ports of PlayStation games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. While this is a cross-generation game, the PS5 is where it pushes the fidelity needle most, so that’s what we’ll be using for the main console comparison. Compared to the PS5, this PC port loses none of the quality and, depending on the machine, can even exceed it. It also comes with one big and welcome improvement – Nixxes has added real-time render options via a transparent menu, a genius touch that aids PC market’s desire to fiddle, offering immediate and, most importantly, visual changes to the games rendering.
