Horizon Forbidden West: Bridging the Gap Between Console and PC Gaming

In a move that has PC gamers holding their breath, Sony recently confirmed the migration of another of its PS5 blockbusters to PC. The much-anticipated game Horizon Forbidden West will be making its grand entrance on the PC platform in early 2024 in its much-coveted Complete Edition form. It's indeed a great shout-out for PC users!

The port operation for this version will be taken care of by the Sony subsidiary Nixxes. This studio is already well-known for its meticulous porting of titles such as Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, including Miles Morales, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Hence, it's highly expected that the bugs that infested the PC version of The Last of Us earlier will not be replicated.

Horizon Forbidden West, the celebrated sequel to Zero Dawn, has been a favorite of the PS5 community ever since its launch. The robotic dino-hunt led by the character of Ashly Burch, with a plot highlighting the struggle for survival against a powerful blight and furious storms, creates a standout gaming experience. The praise for its immersive storytelling, exquisite visuals, and especially the enhanced combat and traversal mechanics proves its successful tenure on PS5.

Having personally explored the first part of this game, the tantalizing experience of exploring the beautiful landscapes and diverse challenges remains vivid. The expectation of reliving a similar or potentially better experience in its sequel is definitely adding to the excitement. This, coupled with the less waiting time compared to its predecessor, makes things even more interesting.

In the grand scheme of things, Sony's efforts to port PlayStation games to PC reflect a strategy that benefits the company immensely, which also breaks down the barriers between console and PC gaming. PC users can now join in the anticipation and add Horizon Forbidden West to their wishlists on platforms such as Steam and the Epic Game Store.
