Sony will continue to bet on bringing its most important exclusive franchises to PC, and according to a new leak, it seems that The next big release will be Horizon Forbidden West company that becomes compatible. The source of this information is quite reliable, as it accumulates important successes with previous leaks, but since it is not confirmed, it should be taken with a grain of salt, as always.

The source didn’t provide details beyond a PC release and Horizon Forbidden West coming to Steam and the Epic Games Store, but either way, it’s good news for fans of the franchise. We must remember that the launch of the first installment, Horizon Zero Dawn, It was a bit bumpy on PC because the game didn’t arrive properly optimized and had many flaws. Fortunately, the patches worked “magic” and left it in more than acceptable condition.

I wanted to comment on this because I hope Guerrilla Games they learned a lesson of what happened with Horizon Zero Dawn and be more careful in choosing who to outsource the development of the PC version of Horizon Forbidden West. The latter is not a PS5 exclusive title, it was a cross-gen transitional release that was available for both PS4 and PS5, so its claims shouldn’t be exaggerated at all.

In the end, it’s a very simple matter, and the technical basis of the game was limited by the power and capacity of the PS4, a console that, as our regular readers will know, uses hardware from 2013 and whose specifications were long out of date. . With that in mind, it would be normal for any mid-range gaming PC made in recent years perfectly capable of moving this game.

All in all, it has to be considered that the latest PlayStation exclusives made their way to PC for a reason They had exaggerated and nonsensical demands, and that The Last of Us Part I is still very poorly optimized. Despite everything, I think seeing the good work that has been done with other ports like Days Gone and the two Spider-Man installments in their PC versions, we have reason to be optimistic about Horizon Forbidden West.

Horizon Zero Dawnsupports both AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS, so it would make sense that Horizon Forbidden West would have support for both technologies as well, ideally implementing Intel XeSS to cover the entire spectrum of PC graphics card users. You already know my position in this sense, exclusivity when we talk about technologies that allow us to improve performance in games is not good for anyone, quite the contrary.
