Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC on August 7th, PC features & PC Requirements revealed

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Guerrilla Games have announced that Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to the PC on August 7th. In order to celebrate this announcement, Sony released a brand new PC trailer that you can find below.

This trailer details the game’s PC features. Horizo Zero Dawn will support ultra-wide resolutions and monitors, 4K resolutions and unlocked framerates. The game will also have dynamic foliage, something that was completely missing from the PS4 version.

Moreover, the game will have improved reflections over the PS4 version. It will also have a benchmark tool so that PC gamers can test the game more easily. Oh, and there will be a Field of View slider.

From the looks of it, Horizon Zero Dawn will be a polished product on the PC. However, it seems that it won’t support DLSS 2.0 like Death Stranding did. Still, NVIDIA has claimed that the game will support both Freestyle and Ansel.

  1. Since when does DLSS make a polished product? It’s a trashy gimmick to increase performance in unoptimized games and this one does not need it.

    1. since now , if you have the option to get +40% perf for like very very minimal quality impact why not use it

      1. i ask myself why i even come to the comments on this site. people literally complain about everything. LOOOL!!!

        1. Yeah dude. I’ve started reading comments here in the past weeks and i’m like wtf? Everyone complains about everything ever lol

        2. This is actually part of the reason I visit this site. The amount of vitriol in the comments section is ridiculous. It’s pretty much guaranteed that somebody is going to make a comment like “OMG screw this woke SJW crap with ugly wamen!!” or “VR is a gimmik for loozers”. The comments have crossed the line from aggravating to comically entertaining.

        3. Its like some of them just hate everything and cant be pleased by nothing, i also complain but only when there is a good reason…but some here are so negative its its they are on the verge of suicide

        4. What’s the point of having a comments section with just positive comments beyond a echochamber? what value adds that? i prefer to read negative points of crap that i even like from people, at least i can read a different perspective.
          The irony of you complaining about people complaning is hilarious and shows your lack of self awareness.

          1. Nobody is saying that people shouldn’t complain. Nearly everyone does.

            It’s just that when the complaints are the same rehashed braindead garbage again and again and again, people will call out their validity.

        1. Dlss 2.0 seems almost indistinguishable to native resolution, if i had a 4k monitor and an rtx card i would use it without hesitation

    1. This is better than prototype,sleeping dogs,shadow of mordor,kingdom come,subnautica and dying light(i played those games and HZD is a solid 9 while those are 8 at best)

      And outward is mediocre

      1. Is the story good? Gameplay looks like crap. Typical console game with dodge hit dodge hit. Every time this same combat recipe since AC1

        1. Gameplay is great and story is surprisingly very good

          Dodge hit? You mean melee?! You barely use your melee apart for small machines/humans stealth kill using melee even against weakest machines will get you pummeled hard

          Its all about ranged weapons

          1. Well the videos i watched where she uses bows. Looks like similar what you did in Tomb Raider reboot.
            I guess its not for me, i look more like Kingdom Come bow gameplay

      1. PC performance, port issues etc. I’ve been burned too many times and bought games thinking devs would do a good job only to be stuck at 30fps with 47% gpu usage.

        OBVIOUSLY, story and gameplay wise, i know what the game is.

      1. Ubisoft wishes they would able to make such a beautiful map.

        As for the ‘towers’ they are moving and each have a different way to climb like puzzles.

        There is no press “a” to parkour button button the jumping and climbing is more like a platformer.

        And breath of the wild had towers and it did not prevent it from being one of the best games ever made

      2. Art style is way above anything ubisoft has ever produced. And unlike ubisoft open world games, HZD actually has an interesting story.

  2. As someone who recently played assassins creed origins(and struggled with its padding) this game is far superior and enjoyable

    1. its kinda true most games of this days have women only as characters ,lara croft went from a badass to a sentimental brat

  3. Looks like this is a proper port not some lazy con job. Definitely exited for this game.

  4. ANYTHING ubisoft is utter garbage compared with this game… ubisoft should a recycling center, because that all they do recycle and bore us with grabage

    1. Anything? AC 1,2, Unity, Far Cry 2, Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell are miles better than this trash.

      1. No, noooo,hell no,pretty primitive so no,incomparable…

        All of those are old and unity was trash

        The first assassins creed was not amazing, the second one was great but now outdated and beaten in everything by HZD

        Far cry 2 was a snoozefest with no coherence

        Prince of persia 3d trilogy are simplistic linear games back then they were great,but it aged badly(recently replayed the whole trilogy nothing special anymore)

        Splinter cell 1,2 and 3 are the only ones that matters and the third one is amazing but i would not compare it to an open world game, still its not miles better than HZD

        I dont think you even played HZD.

    2. And yet it was made more enjoyable in this game than in ubisoft tedious “insert random stuff to fill up the length” games

  5. I’ll wait for mods that change the fugly protagonist, then i can think on installing this.

    1. Aloy is much more cool headed and her sexuality is not elaborated upon, but i guess she is straight

  6. And pre-ordered as soon as I got home from work thanks to a friend that told me. I barely pre-order games but Steam has a 5€ discount so here it is on my list waiting for me. 😉

  7. Soyny fanboy tears are always delicious, but I’m done playing games where you play as ugly chicks. Female protagonists are fine when done correctly, but this trend of them looking like gorillas or inbreds is tiresome.

    1. I would like to see your girlfriend. Aloy is no Jessica Alba but I’m sure she looks better than your GF/wife.

  8. Wait, what? LOL, this is one of the best PS4 exclusives, I am thrilled that I can play it on my PC in 1080p/60. 🙂

    1. Nah.
      It’s a boring open world game that looks nice cuz of hacks on PS4 wonder if they gonna use that render hack also on PC…
      Dialogues not the best, characters okey, rest avg at best.

      1. what render hack??? you know ps4 is weak and needs a ton of tools to be bale to run properly something while pc is unlimited

    2. Glad someone else still appreciates 1080p. I’ve got a 4K and 1080p (and 1440p) setup and find 1080p to be just fine most of the time.

    3. Glad someone else still appreciates 1080p. I’ve got a 4K and 1080p (and 1440p) setup and find 1080p to be just fine most of the time.

  9. Nice, now I can lick off the tears of console fanboys and completely ignore the mediocre game.

  10. – unlocked framerate
    – dynamic foliage (completely missing on PS4)
    – 4K resolutions
    – supports ultra-wide resolutions and monitors
    – improved reflections
    – Field of View slider
    – benchmarking tool
    – Ansel/Freestyle

    #PCMR

    1. Dynamic foliage and the simple cubemaps reflections on ps4 was my biggest complains with the game visuals on ps4 glad they enhanced/enabled them on pc

      Im thinking of double dipping again this time on pc

    2. Hell yeah, thats How you do a Pc port. Hope this will continue, so I wont have to buy these trash consoles with restricted HW any more – for the few exclusives I like!

  11. lmao, all this talk about sony exclusives looking so good, yet you put it on PC, and it just becomes another PC game, nothing special about it honestly. At least in terms of graphics. Man, sony fanboys really need to stop hyping their sh*t up as the second coming of Christ. Horizon 2 will probably be just another game if ever put on PC.

    1. Err no this game was definitely better and original than most open world games released lately, the beastlike machines and the way you interact with them is not like other games,the fighting system of using different kind of weapons and ammo depending on the situation and targeting certain parts for extra damage/special loots or even detach a weapon from a machine and using it against them is very cool and make you feel like some kind of pro badass hunter.
      Some machines cant be beaten by spamming arrows like an idiot and engaging a big one head on without setting some traps first and initial preparation of what kind of weapons and ammo you will use will just make you die like an idiot.

      And the story is definitely solid and original for a post apocalyptic world filled with beastlike machines

  12. I’m curious as to what “camera-based” AA is. I thought they must mean some kind of temporal accumulation for what’s being shown onscreen (captured by camera)… but TAA is it’s own setting so I’m completely stumped

  13. A lot of the open world mechanics are similar to ubisoft games, but unlike ubisoft games the story is actually good and the combat is very satisfying.
