Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a full PS5 glow-up, bringing it in line with its achingly beautiful successor, Horizon Forbidden West. Don’t worry if you’ve already made progress in Aloy’s inaugural adventure, however, as all of your progress will carry across. Remember, this is a $9.99 upgrade for all existing owners of the game – including those who claimed it during Sony’s Play At Home initiative during the pandemic.
“For those that have already played it, we’ve made sure that your old save games will work,” studio director Jan-Bart Van Beek wrote on the PS Blog. “So, this is a great opportunity to dive into New Game + or get back into Photo Mode with all your previously unlocked outfits and customisations.”
While it’s being officially described as a remaster, this is bordering on a remake, with re-recorded dialogue and motion capture, in addition to many other improvements. While the reception to Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was overwhelmingly negative when it leaked, have you come around on the concept now you know more about it? Let us know in the comments section below.

A release noone needed.
Well, that sucks! There's nothing like going through a game and popping those Trophies. As someone that has been through the game 3 times now, it seems that there is little reason to return to it once again. At least the Trophies would have given me that reason...
Yes, read it on PSBlog! Will definitely finally do a NG+ run as it really looks impressive!
@Chupa_loyzer True, but for a 10$ upgrade on a game most of us received for free during the pandemic, I’ll take it. It was already looking really good on PS5 but this looks properly amazing.
