It is safe to say thatHorizon Forbidden West is still one of the most beautiful games in the PS5 catalog (and also PS4 for that matter), Guerrilla Games having worked hard to establish an ultra-vast open world, with varied biomes and rich in detail. We also don't forget some quite fascinating work on 3D modeling and facial animations, with dialogues that are particularly hypnotizing at first glance. The game was nevertheless limited somewhat by the power of the original PlayStation 5, something it will overcome on PS5 Pro thanks to a patch unlocking its graphics capabilities. A trailer specially designed for this update is available below, commented by Roderick Van de Steen, “world lightning and atmospherics lead” within the Dutch studio.
You know: if the PS5 Pro (really) costs more than its big sister, it's because it is faster, more powerful and also better equipped because beyond a substantial 2 TB SSD , it is the use of the PSSR that changes the situation. This technology exclusive to this console, developed internally at Sonyactually allows you to play in 4K and 60 fps, where players previously had to choose between one or the other. This is exactly what we offer Guerrilla Games pour Horizon Forbidden Westwith a mode combining the advantages of Performance mode and Resolution mode.
This is not all since the developers also confirm improvements to the depth of field, the volumetric aspect of certain environmental elements such as mist, but also more details in the textures for a richer, finer rendering. while being more fluid. Suffice to say that we are not going to complain: the update, therefore bringing the precious mention “Enhanced for PS5 Pro”, is already available for download.
