Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition Makes Its Debut on PC: A New Era of Exploration and Customization

Horizon Forbidden West, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn, is set to make its grand entrance on the PC platform on March 21st. This announcement was met with excitement from the gaming community, as many players have been eagerly waiting for the opportunity to explore the post-apocalyptic world of Aloy on their preferred platform.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Sony has released a new PC trailer for Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, which can be viewed above. The trailer showcases the game’s stunning visuals, immersive storyline, and the vast array of mechanical creatures that players will encounter on their journey.

One of the most significant features that PC players can look forward to is the support for advanced upscaling technologies, including DLSS 3, FSR 3.0, and Intel’s XeSS. These technologies will allow players to experience the game in higher resolutions and with improved visual quality, making the already breathtaking graphics even more impressive.

Another exciting aspect of the PC version is the ability to fully customize the mouse and keyboard controls. This level of customization will enable players to tailor their gaming experience to their preferences, allowing for a more personalized and immersive adventure. Additionally, the game will support DirectStorage, which will significantly reduce load times and improve overall performance.

Horizon Forbidden West on PC will also offer unlocked framerates and customizable graphics settings, giving players the freedom to optimize their gaming experience based on their hardware capabilities. Sadly, however, there won’t be an in-game benchmark tool, which may make it difficult for some players to determine the optimal settings for their systems.

One topic that has been on many players’ minds is the absence of Ray Tracing effects in the PC version of the game. While the console versions did not feature Ray Tracing, some fans had hoped that the PC version would include this advanced graphics technology. However, Nixxes, the developer responsible for bringing the game to PC, has confirmed that there will be no Ray Tracing support at launch. It is possible that Guerilla, the game’s developer, is already working on implementing Ray Tracing in their engine, but for now, players will have to make do without this feature.

As of now, Nixxes has not yet shared the game’s PC system requirements. These details should be revealed in the coming weeks, giving players a better understanding of the hardware requirements for an optimal gaming experience.

In conclusion, the release of Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC marks an exciting new chapter in the journey of Aloy and her quest to uncover the mysteries of the Forbidden West. With its stunning visuals, immersive storyline, and the freedom to customize the gaming experience, PC players are in for a treat. Stay tuned for more information on the game’s system requirements and other features as they become available.
