Horizon Forbidden West Confirms Big PC Feature
- The upcoming Horizon Forbidden West PC port will support Nvidia DLSS 3 technology, enhancing the game’s visuals and performance.
- DLSS 3 is already implemented in other popular titles like Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077, and Alan Wake 2.
- The PC version of Horizon Forbidden West is set to release on Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2024, offering an improved graphical experience.
The upcoming Horizon Forbidden West PC port will be compatible with Nvidia DLSS 3 upon release, making it the latest in a series of high-profile games to support it. The second chapter of Guerrilla Games’ futuristic Horizon series launched on the PlayStation 5 in 2022 and continued the story of Aloy as she journeyed across the titular Forbidden West to restore the lost terraforming AI Gaia. Horizon Forbidden West was met with mostly positive reviews upon release and eventually gained a DLC expansion early last year in the form of Burning Shores.
The previous entry in the series, Horizon Zero Dawn, was ported to PC in 2020, joining a growing number of Sony-published titles to branch out beyond PlayStation systems. Last September, Sony announced that Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition will launch on PC later this year by way of Guerrilla Games and Nixxes Software, the developer behind PC ports of hit PlayStation titles like Spider-Man Remastered and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. Just like its PS5 version, which launched back in October, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition will include both the main campaign and the Burning Shores DLC expansion on PC.

Horizon Forbidden West Helps Plant Over Half a Million Trees
Guerrilla Games announces that last year’s Horizon Forbidden West reforestation project was a success, helping to plant over half a million trees.
As reported by IGN, Nvidia recently announced that Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition will include support for its proprietary Deep Learning Super Sampling 3 technology when it launches on PC later this year. A new trailer posted to the Nvidia GeForce YouTube channel highlighted this with clips of Aloy hunting and taming various Machines, which are bolstered by DLSS 3’s AI performance boost, Nvidia Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing’s AI-enhanced image quality, and NVIDIA Reflex’s low latency technology.
Horizon Forbidden West’s PC port is but the latest to support NVIDIA’s new DLSS 3 technology, which is already implemented in titles like Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Alan Wake 2. DLSS 3 was released just last year as the third generation of Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling technology, which can increase frame rates for supported PC games for a smoother visual experience. However, DLSS 3 is only available on Nvidia RTX 40 series GPUs, such as the recently announced RTX 40 Super series.
Horizon Forbidden West was already an impressive display of the PlayStation 5’s graphical capabilities when it first launched in 2022, and the upcoming PC port could look and run even better thanks to Nvidia’s DLSS 3. An exact release date for the PC version of Horizon Forbidden West hasn’t been officially revealed yet, but it will reportedly arrive on Steam and the Epic Games Store sometime in 2024.
