Horizon Forbidden West is coming to PC in early 2024
Sony PlayStation has announced that Guerrilla Games and Nixxes Software are working to bring Horizon Forbidden West to PC in early 2024. Forbidden West will come to PC in the form of Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition. This new version will include bonus content for the game and the game’s Burning Shores expansion. Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is also launching on PlayStation 5 on October 6th.
Horizon Forbidden West is one of Sony’s most popular game releases of 2022. The game launched as a cross-generational title on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. While the game launched as a cross-generation title, Forbidden West’s Burning Shores expansion was released as a PlayStation 5 exclusive earlier this year. This was due to the expansion’s harsher hardware requirements.
The PC version of Forbidden West Complete Edition will be launching though both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Currently, the game has no firm PC release date or PC system requirements.
Below is what Sony has to say about Horizon Forbidden West on Steam.
Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West, a deadly frontier that conceals mysterious new threats.
This Complete Edition allows you to enjoy the critically acclaimed Horizon Forbidden West in its entirety with bonus content, including the Burning Shores story expansion that picks up after the main game.
– Brave an expansive open world – discover distant lands, new enemies, rich cultures and striking characters.
– A majestic frontier – explore the lush forests, sunken cities and towering mountains of a far-future America.
– Confront new dangers – engage in strategic battles against enormous machines and mounted human enemies by using weapons, gear and traps crafted from salvaged parts.
– Unravel startling mysteries – uncover the secret behind Earth’s imminent collapse and unlock a hidden chapter in the ancient past… one that will change Aloy forever.
Forbidden West is a sequel to 2017’s Horizon: Zero Dawn, which launched on PC in 2020. While the game launched on PC with some issues, Horizon Zero Dawn now has a solid PC port, and its success paved the way to Sony’s full-on embrace of the PC market.
With Nixxes at the helm, we expect good things from the PC version of Forbidden West. Nixxes has previously created the PC versions of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remaster, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, all of which have great PC version. Gamers can expect to see DLSS, XeSS, and FSR upscaling in Forbidden West’s PC version at launch, and graphical settings that will exceed the game’s PlayStation 5 version. We can also expect common PC features like an unlocked framerate, ultrawide monitor support, and full mouse/keyboard controls.
