Horizon Zero Dawn was finally released for PC users last year, but the console port to the PC gamers was not a smooth transition. The PC port of the game was not well optimized and featured sluggish performance and a stuttery frame rate. The game looked up to the mark but had terrible frame rates, even on high-end configurations that were way above the recommended specs. The developers released several patches that kind of fixed the issues, but many users are still facing similar problems.
Version 1.10 promises to clean up the remaining bugs and resolve the frame stuttering issues. According to the developer Guerilla Games, this is the final patch the game is going to receive to resolve the issues, as this update is quite large and should fix most of the problems. The developers state that updates will be “less frequent,” which likely means that unless any other major game-breaking bugs pop up, this is pretty much the last big update for the game.
As per Guerilla Games, this PC port will receive the last major update unless there is a breakdown, as the developers are shifting their focus towards developing Horizon Forbidden West, which is a highly anticipated follow-up to Aloy’s initial adventure.
“As our team continues development on our upcoming title Horizon Forbidden West, we are shifting to less frequent updates for Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for PC after this patch. Please note that we will continue to monitor our community spaces as always! We want to thank you all for your continued support and for sending in your crash reports over the past months. The information we received through your reports was invaluable to further investigate and help fix some of the trickier issues that we fixed in Patch 1.10.” stated said by the developers in their official blog.
The game is currently available on PC, PS4, and PS5.
