Game Ready For Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition

Join Aloy as she braves the distant lands of Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, the critically-acclaimed sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. Launching March 21st, the Complete Edition also includes Burning Shores, the story expansion that picks up after the conclusion of the main game, along with bonus content.

Explore distant lands, fight bigger and more awe-inspiring machines, and encounter astonishing new tribes as you return to the far-future, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon. The land is dying. Vicious storms and an unstoppable blight ravage the scattered remnants of humanity, while fearsome new machines prowl their borders. Life on Earth is hurtling towards another extinction, and no one knows why.

It's up to Aloy to uncover the secrets behind these threats and restore order and balance to the world. Along the way, she must reunite with old friends, forge alliances with warring new factions and unravel the legacy of the ancient past – all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a seemingly undefeatable new enemy.

When Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is released, GeForce RTX gamers can activate DLSS 3 from day-one to multiply their performance, while those with fast enough frame rates can use DLAA to maximize their image quality. And to make gameplay even more responsive, players can enable Reflex to reduce system latency. 

Without DLSS Super Resolution or Frame Generation, GeForce RTX 4080 owners can use the Very High graphics preset at 4K and play at 60 FPS, per Sony’s official Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition system requirements. At 1440p, using the High preset, Sony recommends a GeForce RTX 3070 for 60 FPS gameplay, and with the many scalable in-game options, cards dating back to the GeForce GTX 1650 can play at lower resolutions and detail levels.

With DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, performance is substantially faster, enabling gamers to play with increased levels of detail at higher resolutions.

Portal with RTX DLSS 3.5 & RTX IO Update Available Now

Portal with RTX reimagines Valve’s timeless classic using full ray tracing, also known as path tracing, to accurately model the real-world properties of light, and how that light affects every surface and object. Illumination, shadows, reflections, refraction, and everything in between are all a result of the fully ray traced world and their interactions with upgraded assets, adding dazzling detail and dynamism to levels and effects.

Portal with RTX has now upgraded to NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, leveraging its AI-powered Ray Reconstruction technology to improve the fidelity of full ray tracing, and the responsiveness of dynamic lighting effects. And with the introduction of NVIDIA RTX IO, texture loading times are accelerated, and the file size of the game has been reduced.
