Horizon Forbidden West PC system requirements revealed ahead of March 21 launch
Horizon Forbidden West is one of the many PlayStation exclusives slated to make a PC debut this year on March 21. Nixxes and Sony have now revealed the game's system requirements and PC-specific features via a blog post. Unlike The Last of Us Part I, they seem to be relatively modest, at least for one of the most visually pleasing games launched this generation.
Minimum | Recommended | High | Very High | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Performance | 720p 30 FPS | 1080p 60 FPS | 1440p 60 FPS | 4K 60 FPS |
CPU | Intel Core i3 8300/AMD Ryzen 3 1300X | Intel Core i5-8600/AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Intel Core i7-9700/AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | Intel Core i7-11700/AMD Ryzen 7 5700X |
GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650/AMD Radeon RX 5500XT | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060/AMD Radeon RX 5700 | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070/AMD Radeon RX 6800 | Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080/AMD Radeon RX 7900XT |
It was revealed earlier that Horizon Forbidden West would come with DirectStorage support. However, it'll eat up an eye-water 150 GB of your storage space. Thankfully, its memory requirements are 16 GB across the board. Those with weaker hardware can pick between AI-powered upscalers, DLSS 3.0, FSR 3.0 and XeSS.
Interestingly, ultra-wide monitor support seems to be missing from the list. Additionally, Sony/Nixxes hasn't specified whether PC players will get a PS5-like experience with a DualSense ($69 on Amazon) controller. The Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition comes with the base game and the Burning Shores DLC. Those who pre-order it will get some in-game items, a digital art book and a digital comic book. You can grab the game on Steam and Epic Games Store.
