It was big news when it was announced that Horizon Zero Dawn would be coming to the PC. The game is a first party title from Sony, and is one of the first major releases the company has allowed to come to the platform. But unfortunately, while the core of Guerrilla Games’ open world title was intact, the port was plagued by a variety of technical issues. Since its launch, multiple patches have been released for it, and now we have another one to try and fix even more.
The newest patch, 1.03, addresses multiple issues. Probably the biggest one is a multitude of different types of crashes you’ll potentially encounter related to the GPU, AI, and more. There’s also other thing here, such as fixing the snow deformation that wasn’t working properly in the Frozen Wilds area, progression problems, 4K scaling, and a lot more. You can see the patch notes below, or read them through here.
Horizon Zero Dawn is available now on PlayStation 4 and PC. The 1.03 patch for PC is live now. The developer has said fixing the PC version is one of their highest priorities, so most likely more updates will come.
