Sony and Nixxes Software have shared the official PC system requirements for Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition. In addition, NVIDIA revealed that the game will support DLSS 3 Frame Generation at launch.

PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon RX 5500XT. The game will also require 150GB of free disk space.

For running the game at 1080p/Medium Settings with 60fps, PC gamers will need an Intel Core i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700.

For 1440p/60fps or 4K/30fps on High Settings, Nixxes recommends using an Intel Core i7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800.

Finally, for the best PC gaming experience at 4K/Very High Settings with 60fps, the developers suggest using an Intel Core i7-11700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900XT.

Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is coming to PC on March 21st. For those wondering, the game will not support any Ray Tracing effects. And yes, alongside DLSS 3, the game will support FSR 3.0 (as well as XeSS).

PC players will be able to fully customize their mouse and keyboard controls. And, like all of the Sony games, it will support DirectStorage. Horizon Forbidden West on PC will also offer unlocked framerates and customizable graphics settings.

Stay tuned for more!

  1. Now imagine if only Nintendo like Sony started porting their games to PC. What a sight it would’ve been. More players better experiences better competition & money to companies. But NO!! “Let’s battle the emulation scene”
    Say whatever to Sony but they’ve earned my respect already without any actions against all of their consoles getting emulated all these years and also porting their exclusives to PC as well. They focus on games more than lawsuits.

    1. LOL Sony was persuaded by Epic and they paid for the first game ported. Then they saw the revenue and rest is history.

      Sony is Nintendo 2.

      1. Both are still primarily Japanese companies after all.

        From my experience working with Japanese carmakers and doing my part to convince them about the benefits of using Linux in the automotive industry:

        While the mentality can be quite stubborn at first, once they see the benefits for themselves, they can change their standpoint in a heartbeat.

        Nowadays Japanese carmakers are among the top supporters of Automotive Grade Linux:

        1. “Both are still primarily Japanese companies after all.”
          I bet japanese are programming their games on console with gamepads!

    2. When PC has Ori, Hollow Knight, A Hat In Time, etc, do we really need those boring Mario platformers. Does Nintendo actually offer anything that we can’t already do better on PC.

      It’sa me! Maaaario” -stfu please

      Do we even need Sony games on PC. I don’t even care if Sony exclusives come to PC, most are boring cinematic B movies. I played Horizon on PC and it was too boring to finish.

      There is so much choice on PC, that Nintendo and Sony have just become irrelevant to me.

      1. Your opinion satisfies you but All fingers aren’t same. I liked Horizon on PC and Metroid Dread was amazing to play with keyboard and I will always welcome more console games on PC due to sheer amount of mods and overall experience it gives

        1. There is a mod for the 1st game to improve aloy’s face (which is unsurprisingly one of the most popular ones on nexus mods) that does an ok-ish job. While it doesn’t make her attractive, it does make her less hard to look at, which is a commendable achievement IMO.

          1. How do you look at your own face in the mirror then? I’m pretty sure 90 percent of you brown rats look utterly unfckable.

          2. Saw those, and while they’re a good thing, I’d call them minor touch-ups more than anything else.
            I dont think there were any major improvements in any of them

          3. Well it’s better than nothing IMO. At least the game has such a mod. Wish there was one for Control, because I want to play that game but the hideous hag of a protagonist that looks like a cross-dressing Christoph Waltz is keeping me from doing so.

          4. The exact same reason I am yet to touch Control. The character rendering is brilliant but everything else is empty.

          5. The mod will be banned by nexus tr00ns. They keep escalating the bans, now they’re even banning mods that uncensor FF Rebirth and Granblue Fantasy Relink.

      1. Unfortunately the two best known mod sites are all pozzed by troons who will ban any mods like these, like they did with that mod for spider-man to remove the alphabet flags. We need alternate sites for mods asap.

      1. she should be angry from guerrilla games
        they wasted her time just to make an uglier version of her

        1. The absolute moronicness of hiring a model, to then turn her ugly. Why not save yourself the trouble and hire someone ugly in the first place?

    1. trannee, just like the so called actress source btw blown out pics and makeup lighting fool dumbos and lots of other tricks, for kids.

      1. They need to make a game with her. I would so buy it.

        She would not listen to any command, and eat all provisions.

        She would constantly curse you out. “SHUT YOUR MOUTH, pick up the bow yourself!”

        She would have 0 stamina, but brute force encounters by sitting on enemies.

        Remember the Surpremes when you try to romance her “Mama said, Love don’t come easy”.

        Developers aren’t innovating. This game would get a 10/10, Strong Independent Woman.

  2. what if i dont want to run it in 4k then what kinda hardware i will need? Stupid requirements chart.

    1. With a little math and Common Sense you can interpolate to other resolutions. For instance if it needs a 4080 to do 4k/60 then you should be able to get 1440p/60 with a 4070 or a 3080 or 1080p/60 with a 3070 or a 3060 Ti

  3. $70 for a Sony game written by SweetBabyInc, just to be told I am a toxic white male, and allow my PC to be infected with DRM.

    Such a difficult choice….hmmm….what is the word I am looking for….ah yes….F OFF.

      1. Free if you know where to look, but yeah, that assumes you want to look, which may make you throw up.

      2. It’s £35 in the UK, widely = 41 EUR = $45. But best not let facts get in the way of the usual bile-spouting (and mostly blocked) toxic users on this website.

  4. Ah yes another amazing PC port.
    We can create a bingo card, and 100% of us would get 99.8% accuracy.

    Keep in mind Nixxes still didn’t fix Spider-Man games, Horizon etc. so yea gg wp.

    1. Glad they didn’t fix those trashes anyway. At least they have realized that they can be smart sometimes.

  5. “Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition PC Requirements Revealed, Will Require 150GB of Free Disk Space, Will Support DLSS 3 at Launch because it’s an unoptimized woke dog turd that isn’t worth wasting your time on even for free

    You forgot to complete the headline, John.

    1. This probably is going to be downvoted, but people with 4K 144Hz monitors want miracles. Today hardware just can’t manage it. 4K alone is 4 times 1080p, 4 monitors, plus 144Hz is more than double of frames of a 60Hz. It’s like 10 1080p 60Hz monitors at the same time. And everybody want that resolution and refresh in Ultra settings because they payed a lot for the hardware.

      1. My 1080ti could do plenty of games at 4K/120. I’m not expecting miracles, just correct levels of optimization.

  6. Thats cool, I have some friends who liked the first. I tried it myself but between the narrative and the gameplay loop it just wasn’t for me. Id rather just play monster hunter for a monster hunting title or anything else for the narrative lol.

  7. I would think the repackers can separate out languages and usless stuff like extras, credits or artbooks or whatnot and get it down quite a bit in size. The reqs are usually everything all languages, extras, credits etc that most people have no use for a lot of it.
    Repacks could make it pretty easy to sell physical usbC’s with the whole game on it btw even uncompressed 100gb+ worth of game size, scale of volume could bring those down to 1-2$ extra cost to consumer, doesn’t fit the rent seeker shyster plans though.
    Trash game wouldn’t bother but gta6 likely 200gb+ so get ready for it.

  8. 150 GigaBytes of GigaGarbage. Unfortunately played the Zero Dawn & I am feeling glad that my bandwidth will be saved & the SSD read/write cycles will rest for something useful.

  9. Horizon We Wuz Agli Wahmen Edition
    I can’t wait to see raytraced fat jaw, the only reason ps5 aloy had smaller jaw is because the PS5 peasantry hardware can’t keep up with the glory of the masterrace
