Sony has just released LEGO Horizon Adventures on PC. And, to be honest, I wasn’t initially planning on covering it. However, after hearing a lot of complaints about its performance, I’ve decided to take a look at it. So, what PC system do you need to run it with 60FPS? Let’s find out.
For our tests, we used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, and the GeForce 566.14 driver. I know there is a new driver for the game. Still, overall performance seemed already great. Moreover, we’ve disabled the second CCD on our 7950X3D.
LEGO Horizon Adventures supports DLSS 3 Super Resolution and Frame Generation. However, there is no support for AMD FSR 3.0 or Intel XeSS. That’s a bummer for everyone who doesn’t own an RTX40 series GPU.
At Native 4K/Epic Settings, the game runs with 47FPS on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. By enabling DLSS 3 Quality, we were able to get over 80FPS at all times. And then, with DLSS 3 Frame Generation, we were able to pass 120FPS.
Now the good news here is that the in-game settings can significantly improve performance. By lowering the settings to High, we were able to get over 60FPS at all times, at Native 4K. We also saw noticeable performance improvements when we lowered our settings to Medium and Low. So, contrary to some early UE5 games, LEGO Horizon Adventures can scale down on older GPUs.
In other words, although the Epic Settings are quite demanding, the High settings run great. Not only that but a lot of people won’t be able to notice the visual difference between Epic and High. So yes, the Epic settings are quite heavy. As said, though, the High settings offer great visuals at an acceptable performance.
Graphics-wise, LEGO Horizon Adventures looks great. The game has the same art style we’ve seen in pretty much all other LEGO titles. Basically, LEGO Horizon Adventures looks as good as LEGO Builder’s Journey. Only this time, instead of a small gaming area, you have a huge map. You can also interact with – and break – a lot of objects. To be honest, I don’t have anything negative to say about the game’s visuals. Everything looks amazing.
All in all, a high-end GPU like the RTX 4090 can run this latest UE5 game with 60FPS at Native 4K on High Settings, or on Epic Settings with DLSS 3 Quality. Owners of GPUs equivalent to the RTX3080 can run the game at 1080p/Epic, or 1440p/High. Since the game can scale down via its graphics settings, I don’t really believe that DLSS 3 is used as a crutch here. If you don’t want to use it, you can avoid the Epic Settings. The game will still look great on High settings.
Before closing, I should note that LEGO Horizon Adventures does not require a high-end CPU. As you can see in the following screenshots, our CPU was barely used. I also did not experience any major traversal or shader compilation stutters. There are a few, but they are not THAT frequent. So, no. This isn’t a “UE5 stutter-fest” game.
Have fun!

This is the franchise the recent guy in charge of Sony games division (Hermen Hulst) thought would be their future. Same guy whose baby was Concord, same guy who has Fairgame$ in development and the same guy who has a Horizon MMO (LOL) in development. You are looking at a billion dollar loss with these games and that isn't counting the MULTIPLE failed projects headed by Neil Druckmann after The Last of Us 2 that will probably never see the light of day and one that was already cancelled with money thrown down the toilet.

good
I was going to mention this.
I Just saw that cuckman has "compete control" over next project…..so hopefully the cycle completes and he is exposed once that fails(hope). its seems the
Woke cycle is
1. they take over established IP
2. It sells well off brand/marketing(game/story sucks)
3. They move up ladder
4. They ruin IP/Game with Full control(sells poor)
5. They move on/up to hollywood/NGO/hell/whatever(never down)
6. Nerds/geeks/gamers return to helm.
##. so once the woke take over 2-3 games are wasted before reality STRIKES.
the only time that alloy looks cute.
You've been a virgin for so long that a rough estimation of a woman in plastic brick form is getting you all riled up!
She looks three times as fat when presented as a lego figurine
Always found Lego pcgames boring AF
Flex on a game meant for children. What a cool dude! Too bad you can't be within 100 feet of kids, you could Have bragged to them about it!
You can't flex on a game that's meant for children. Stupid b*tard LOL
"What PC system do you need to run LEGO Horizon Adventures with 60FPS?"
you don't
>Lego (((Soyrizon)))
I wonder, did they animate legos having full frontal gay s3x to indoctrinate the children in this goyslop propaganda disguising as "children's product!" to brainwash them into becoming pedo homos and prey on children when they grow up (that is, if they didn't kill their gay selves by then)?
You do realize your mind is full of gay fantasy stories? You're projecting on a lego game LMFAO!!!!!
Oooo… tough words from the c*ck with a wahman having an org*sm pfp! How about saying “You’re projecting on a kids game LMFAO!!!!!” too? Subhumans and agenda pushers with these mindsets TOTALLY didn’t have an entire mandatory and unskippable pedo k1ss in that Talmudick POS in a so-called “children’s game!” called Tchia right? Or perhaps Bugsnax where they shoved pedo “couples”, also in a so-called “children’s game!” riiiigggghhhht???
If you have to ask, then you can't run it.
Who the hell is this game for? Unlike Lego, Horizon was never aimed at children so it's not like kids will really know about this. Also, Horizon isn't anywhere as big as some of the other franchises that had Lego games, such as Harry Potter, Marvel, Batman, and Star Wars. The only people I can see buying this are strange manchildren that are still attached to Lego, are soyny fanatics and are unironic simps for aloy. That can't be more than a few thousand people at best. This crap is going to flop, guaranteed.
How about playing the g-d game before crapping on it, eh? Who's this for: someone like me who legitimately enjoyed Forbidden West and Zero Dawn but couldn't let my little niece and nephew play it (too complex). Co-op was a big plus here. Also, I could care less about so-called agenda supposedly in the regular games….its a good game and mechanics are "fun". Also, who the hell doesn't like Legos? The games scream for lego creations of their enemies/dinos; heck you blow off parts when you attack them. Am I missing the plot?
I like to brag about being too advanced for children's games.
That's a whole lot of words just to say that you're gay. Sod off back to reddit
I'll be sure to let my smoking hot wife know!
No such phrase as "could care less". It's "couldn't care less", which actually makes sense.
Appreciate the correction…. I'm usually the grammar czar, but I missed this.
Kids playing on dad's office PC or a hand-me down gaming PC aren't going to be able to even RUN this game. So the question is indeed: Who is this for???
Kids prob wouldn't be playing on "hand-me down gaming PC"; I'm pretty sure they would play on PS5 or Switch. I still don't understand the avalanche of hate this game is getting.
Waaah! Waaaah!
Hello !attention wh*re
Admin Edit: You’ve spammed the same comment in numerous articles. Next time you’ll be banned. Spamming is not allowed, you can fight in the comment section without resorting to spamming 😛
Spam is for dinner because you're poor, my thick rod for your mum the low IQ hore. WAAAAH! For your crying, you've done it before! WAAAAAH!
Are you a f*kin’ crier too? Stfu up already and leave! WAAAAH! That’s for criers like you, and spam is for the family for dinner since you’re all poor. WAAAAH!
It's current G4ystation CEO's pet project, Herman Hulst. He was a founder of the franchise's OG game studio, Guerrilla Games.
That looks pretty blurry and there's additional postprocessing that blurs it further. The unity game with raytracing was crisp compared to this.
Haaaaahahaha
Not only does it fail to maintain 120 fps at 1080p on the best GPU in the world, it also has an uncapped menu killing your GPU by rendering over 1000 fps. These developers are actually retarded.
As long is there's no story( HZD story was peak feminist), I might give it a shot when in a bundle for $2.50…I cant help robo-dinos get me hard. that performance is insane though @4k
