Horizon Forbidden West PC Requirements Revealed
PlayStation has announced the system requirements for this month’s Horizon Forbidden West PC release. Since its release, the game has been one of the most anticipated PlayStation-to-PC ports for gamers, particularly after the success of the first Horizon PC release. Now, with Horizon Forbidden West on PC weeks away, fans can prepare their setups just in time for the game's launch on the platform.
The Horizon games are among the most successful franchises for Sony's suite of first-party games. The company expanded the franchise's popularity beyond the PlayStation ecosystem when it released Horizon Zero Dawn on PC in 2020. By May 2023, the Horizon series crossed 32.7 million copies in sales, with the sequel selling over 8.4 million units at the time. This means that Sony may have similarly high expectations for Horizon Forbidden West on PC.
Sony revealed four different levels of PC system requirements for Horizon Forbidden West.

The studio also mentioned that when Horizon Forbidden West on PC hits stores later this month, players can opt to tweak visuals and performance settings to personal preferences, down to details like textures, shadows, terrain, and film grain effects.

The recommended spec target would run an average performance of 1080P at 60 FPS, at a «medium» graphic preset.
