The highly-acclaimed game Horizon Forbidden West is now set to make its grand entry on PC with advanced graphics features including Nvidia DLSS 3 and DirectStorage. Players eagerly waiting to experience the visually stunning game on PC can mark their calendars for March 21, when the game will become available, providing a breathtaking gaming adventure with state-of-the-art enhancements.
Originally launched on February 18, 2022, for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Horizon Forbidden West quickly gained popularity and received favorable reviews, with the PS5 version boasting an impressive Metacritic score of 88/100. The game, developed by Guerilla Games, has been entrusted to Nixxes Software, now a part of PlayStation Studios, to port it to PC, ensuring that PC players get the most out of their gaming experience.
This new Complete Edition for PC isn’t just a straight port; it comes bundled with the Burning Shores expansion, adding substantial follow-up content to the main story for enhanced gameplay. PC gamers will be immersed in richer and more detailed environments, as the adaptation will fully utilize technologies such as Nvidia DLSS 3 (combining Super Resolution, Frame Generation, and Reflex) and DLAA, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS. DirectStorage support will also be integrated to dramatically reduce loading times on supported systems.
Players can expect the game to support ultrawide aspect ratios, including 21:9 and 32:9, as well as setups for 48:9 triple-monitor displays, further expanding visual immersion. Additionally, Horizon Forbidden West on PC will allow gamers to experience the unique adaptive trigger functions of the DualSense controller, although it appears this feature may be limited to wired usage.
Availability of Horizon Forbidden West on PC begins on March 21 on major platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game is priced at $59.99, and preordering offers players additional perks in the form of bonus in-game items and cosmetic options, enhancing the overall gaming experience. With its impending PC release, Horizon Forbidden West is poised to deliver unparalleled visual quality and performance, taking the gaming landscape by storm.
