Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition hits PC this month on March 21 and ahead of its release, developers Guerrilla Games and Nixxes, which is handling the PC port, have revealed the PC specifications and system requirements needed to run it. Perhaps unsurprisingly considering it’s one of the PlayStation 5’s prettiest games, you’re going to need a lot of PC power to run Horizon Forbidden West at its best.
“If you prefer to tweak settings and visuals to your own liking, you’ll find plenty of options in the launcher and in the game menus,” a PlayStation Blog post reads. “Next to individual quality settings for textures, level of detail, shadows, water, terrain and more, you can use sliders to adjust the field of view and visual effects like motion blur and film grain. You’ll also find toggles to adjust full screen effects like radial blur, lens flares, bloom, and vignette to taste.”
