Charger up.
Horizon Forbidden West is set to make its PC debut later this month, on 21st March, as part of the Complete Edition. Ahead of this, the teams at Nixxes and Guerrilla have shared a few more details on what to expect.
Along with the PC specifications, which are shown below, the studios have also shed more light on the graphics presets and other variables players will be able to select.
Presets range from low to high, with the Forbidden West team stating this will allow those with the latest tech to "push their systems, while also providing a great experience on less powerful PCs".
Meanwhile, for a more curated experience, players will be able to adjust the settings and visuals to what works best for them from the menu and launcher.
Along with individual quality settings for things such as textures, level of detail, shadows, water, terrain and "more", players will also be able to adjust the field of view and visual effects like motion blur and film grain thanks to sliders. Other full screen effects that can be adjusted with toggles include "radial blur, lens flares, bloom and vignette", the developer explained.
