Horizon Forbidden West patch buffs salmon, and players are weirdly happy
A new Horizon Forbidden West patch has buffed salmon throughout the Forbidden West area.
If you've been hunting for salmon in Horizon Forbidden West for months on end to no avail, your strange prayers have finally been answered. Patch 1.26 for Guerrilla's sequel has "increased the spawn rate of salmon in the Forbidden West area," so it's easy fishing for you.

For Burning Shores though, there's several bug fixes in patch 1.26. Oddly enough, the vast majority of them are focused on the 'Heaven and Earth' main quest, as six total issues within the quest itself have all been thankfully remedied by the new update.
The side quests 'A Friend in the Dark' and 'In His Wake' have both received bug fixes, and there's also a remedy for an odd flickering light popping up in photo mode.
