Horizon Forbidden West hits PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 this Friday – you can read Game Informer’s review of it right now – and in the leadup to its launch, Guerrilla Games has released a detailed look at its accessibility settings. 

Fortunately, there are a lot of them too ranging from general accessibility to controller-specific settings as well as audio and visual options, too. The game even includes multiple difficulty settings so that you can tailor Aloy’s latest journey to be perfect for you. 

“With the launch of Horizon Forbidden West only a few days away, we are keen to share some of the accessibility features that will be available for our players,” a new PlayStation Blog post reads. “Early on in the game’s development, we established that we wanted to bring the game to as many fans as possible and create an immersive and accessible experience that can be enjoyed by everyone. Some of these return from Horizon Zero Dawn, and some are newly added as we’ve continued to learn and understand more about the needs of our players.” 

Here, you’ll find more general accessibility settings that are applied to the entire game. For example, subtitle settings reside here as do the options to change the size and background of those subtitles. You can select your preferred language here, too, and if you forget about one of the game’s many mechanics, Horizon Forbidden West’s fancy new encylopedia has you covered. 

In Horizon Forbidden West, you’ll find five different difficulties to choose from ranging from Story Mode, which eases combat up so that you can focus on the story, to the Very Hard mode, which, as the name implies, is an extremely challenging experience and meant for players who want their skills tested at all
