For reasons that are not entirely clear, Sony has chosen to remaster Horizon Zero Dawn for both PlayStation 5 and PC, rather than opting for a remaster of Bloodborne. Fortunately, players who already possess the game on either PC or PlayStation will only need to pay $9.99 for the upgrade. If you're new to the game, it will be available for purchase on Steam, Epic Games Store, and PlayStation Store for $49.99 starting October 31.
Enhanced Features
According to Sony, the remastered version of Horizon Zero Dawn features "over 10 hours of re-recorded dialogue, motion capture, and numerous graphical enhancements." These updates effectively align the game with its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. Other significant improvements include upgraded textures, animations, and lighting effects. Moreover, it will utilize the enhanced hardware capabilities of the PlayStation 5 Pro.
PC Details
The PC version of the remastered Horizon Zero Dawn is being developed by Nixxes and will support popular AI upscalers like DLSS, FSR, and XeSS. More details regarding features specific to the PC platform will be disclosed at a later date. On consoles, players can look forward to experiencing the game with PlayStation 5 enhancements, which include DualSense haptics, 3D Audio, and customizable controls.
Account Requirement
It’s important to note that PC gamers will need a PlayStation account to access the remastered version of Horizon Zero Dawn. This requirement aligns with other recent Sony releases, such as God of War Ragnarok and Ghost of Tsushima, which have also necessitated a PlayStation account for gameplay.
