Guerrila Games has just confirmed that the PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn will not feature a FOV slider. While the PC version will feature some settings to customize your experience, it won’t have a FOV slider.
As Guerrila Games’ Annie wrote on the Steam forums:
“We will add several ways to customize your settings for Horizon Zero Dawn for PC. However, we feel that changing the FOV compromises the original Horizon Zero Dawn experience and visual style too much, so you will not be able to change this.”
From what we know so far, the game will support ultrawide monitors. Moreover, we can expect at least support for 60fps (though we may also have unlocked framerates).
Now while Guerrila Games will not provide a native FOV slider, I’m pretty sure that some modders will release a CheatEngine mod that will allow you to adjust it. After all, we’ve seen such mods in a number of games lately.
Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to the PC in Summer 2020.
Stay tuned for more!

“HAHAHA! Yes. It will.” – modding community.
It’s not a modders Job to fix schitty a*s games and decsions meanwhile the game goes on to selling millions for NOT DOING THEIR FUQING JOBS. That’s why games like NIER:automata get away with that rubbish. You need a fuqing mod to run the fuqing game and yet it’s in VERY POSITIVE review on steam. No wonder why developers give PC pure schitt and half a$$ed work. Because of bullschitt a*s sentiments that you just expressed/established. STOP IT!, stop rewarding this type of behavior, that’s why we GET SCHITTY Half-a$$ed ported games.
On a 3rd person game with an already bigger FOV than most games it’s really not necessary, although I’m sure it’s gonna get modded.
+1 for my ultrawide though

Hey dumbschitt, if they won’t give you an FOV, what makes you think they’ll support Ultra Wide. Do you even know why this lazy a$$ decision is being made? If you did, you’d see why you won’t get ULTRAwIDE. Just goes to show how little you know about game development and the reaosn why these decisions happens, even though they serve no purpose on PC, because the PC is a very powerful machine that can render the entire world EASILY, while a CONSOLE CANNOT.
Terrible news. ??
Can it be, does this robot have a soul after all?
Terrible robot AI…
the game’s fov is horrible, it uses that umbra style rendering that everything outside your fov is unrendered. This is why they doing it.
It was really weird seeing the shadow cast by mountains appearing and disappearing.
Dude, this is a PC port, not the console one. Things will render properly.
you think this rendering method doesnt exist on pc ports?
“umbra style rendering” Lmao every game does that.
It’s called view-frustum culling and it boosts performance like crazy. Every single game does this.
However I don’t really know why they think FoV has an effect on the games “visual style”.
is it too scripted? If yes the fov is probably constantly changing.
Possibly. I never noticed the camera changing FoV during cutscenes so idk.
Why is it even an issue?! It’s clearly NOT , it can be modded. Cheer up like crazy for this awesome game release on PC instead..
As for this issue , it was already modified with ELF hack ( PS4ME like cheat Engine in the ps4 versions <=5.05 ) , you could also remove lens flare , chromatic aberration and (y would u want to) FXAA. So PC version will be fine.
In other words we make a port instead of making it properly
According to all the idiots here, MODDINg will save the day. They are so fuqing DUMB. Relying on Modding community to fix a game before it’s even released. Something is severely wrong with this “MODDING” mindset.
You’re so full of sh*t.
You keep ranting some stupid sh*t with your essays on every god damn comment section.
after millions of sony fans complaining about exclusives.. instead of u-turn they decide to bring a bad port
“However, we feel that changing the FOV compromises the original Horizon Zero Dawn experience ”
So, what the hell the support for ultrawide?
will it support keyboard and mouse ?????? or it will be patched in after the second DLC ?
According to this community, they wouldn’t mind modding in KB+M. Modders are here to fix all their problems apparently.
What has the modding community done against you?
You’re ranting all over the comments like a f*king loonie with rabies about the modding community.
If you don’t like mods, then STFU it’s your issue. Most PC gamers embrace them.
DSO is currently in a hostage take over and will become just like Political Gamer. There are so many yes men in these comment section. A publisher/developer could execute a work member and they’d still support and defend why he had to die for the betterment of the game. Lord Jesus what is this site’s comment section turning. I could never understand the People that praise, rejoice & DEFEND LESS FEATURES! What is happening on planet Earth?…
This is all about rendering, there is no FOV sliders on console because they use the right FOV as a cheap trick to NOT render the entire world infront of you. But PC’s don’t have this problem, except when Lazy AZz developers treat the All Power full PC like it does. I smell an incoming Schitty port. Next thing they’ll justify to you why they won’t have an option to disable MOTION BLUR! This game is loaded with blur & tight FOV because it has alot to hide. It uses alot of cheap tricks to fool your eyes into thinking it looks good. And for the most part it works for all the casual plebians, now they are fixing to do the same thing on PC, in turn WILL NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POWER OF PC. SMH…
The fact he cited “style” as reason for it makes it all Bullshit, a lazy excuse.
They just don’t want to and want everyone to have tunnel vision set to their tranny main character.

that’s called a middleware, it’s literally what happens in every game.
You know youR Schitt and get hate for it every day. No truer post. ? In an Above post you’re trying to explain this stuff to these idiots and they are just thinking talking at you like you are speaking another language.
“However, we feel that changing the FOV compromises the original Horizon Zero Dawn experience”
Replace the word FOV with fps, graphics, controls or any other PC enhancements and you’ll see how dumb that statement is. Why bring a game to PC platform if we’ll be stuck at a console “experience”.
Want a big a*5 FOV?
Go play AoE.
“we feel that changing the (insert feature) compromises the… (insert game title)… so you will not be able to change this.”
Typical console game dev mentality. Treating consumers as though they’re all children.
They exist within an authoritarian business hierarchy where they or their corporate overlord ‘always knows best’ and must be obeyed. The wants of the consumer are a distant secondary consideration. They’re cosseted and reassured that this is acceptable by a largely anti-consumer poisonous media who view gamers aka the consumer as scum.
Pure Soyny.
I played this last eyar on a friends PS4 that I borrowed for the week. The games not all its cracked up to be.
They drop the ball with this one, the funny thing is..that probably some dude would end up making a mod for this day 1.
PS fangays gonna happy with it, but when they know PC have modding community.. it’s like, it hurts for the 2nd time.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b770651d9595b92f794578cc0c00706a63ad870bd0c70e6094f0df5bcb6783b6.jpg
Fkin WOW 😀
This is the same kind of BS some peasant devs said about 30FPS being more cinematic.
What a bunch of fkin idiots.
So again we will have to wait for modders or use CheatEngine to break through the consolitis.
Don’t care about FOV slider, the important is nude mods…
