New Horizon Zero Dawn update added 60fps mode on PS5



[ad_1]

A new update for Horizon Zero Dawn has added a 60fps mode for PlayStation 5 users.

Update 1.53 is now available and unlocks the frame rate so the game can now run at 60 fps in backward compatibility mode.

It also removes the Graphics Mode option from the game when running on a PS5, as the update makes it redundant. It also fixes streaming performance issues when the game is played on a PlayStation 5.

The patch was officially announced during the Gamescom Opening Night Live event, where it was also confirmed that the Horizon Forbidden West sequel had been postponed until February 2022.

The patch notes for the new update read as follows:

Guerrilla announced the sequel to the game Horizon: Forbidden West for PS5 in June 2020 ahead of a planned release date of 2021. The game was also subsequently confirmed for PS4.

Forbidden West was slated for release in 2021, but has now been officially delayed until February 18, 2022.

Ahead of the sequel’s announcement, VGC revealed that PlayStation and Guerrilla are planning a Horizon Zero Dawn trilogy.

Amsterdam-based Guerrilla had always wanted to deliver a Horizon game series – and a multi-part script was written – but the plan wasn’t officially accepted until after the original game’s strong debut on PlayStation 4.

Horizon takes place on a distant Earth where nature has reclaimed the planet, but massive animal-like machines rule the earth. Zero Dawn follows the story of Aloy, a young woman on a quest to explore the ruins of the ancient past.

The title was a success both commercially and critically, and won the 2018 BAFTA Games Award for original ownership.
