Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered PC is releasing soon and we can't wait for you to experience Aloy's first adventure (again) with stunning new visuals and upgraded features!

You can now pre-load the game on Steam. By doing so, you can download the game ahead of its release on October 31*.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered PC launches on October 31 at 8:00 AM PDT / 4:00 PM CET. Check out the infographic below for more time zones (click to enlarge).

* Please do keep in mind that files downloaded during pre-load are encrypted and will start decrypting up from the moment the game launches. Depending on your hardware, this can take a while. If you have a fast internet connection, downloading the game at launch could be faster.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is launching next week! We can’t wait for you to jump into Guerrilla’s epic action adventure (again) with stunning new visuals and upgraded features.

To ensure the game runs on a wide variety of PC hardware, we’ve included graphics presets ranging from Very Low to Very High. Players with the latest hardware will be able to push their systems with high settings, while the lower presets provide a great experience on less powerful PCs.

Check out the infographic below for an overview of specifications we recommend for a variety of presets that are available in the game.

For those who prefer to tweak settings and visuals to their own liking, the launcher and game menus offer a wide range of options. You'll find individual quality settings for textures, level of detail, shadows, water, terrain and more. You can also adjust the field of view and visual effects like motion blur.

On behalf of the teams at Nixxes and Guerrilla, we are excited and looking forward to hearing about your experiences with Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and seeing your Photo Mode results!

Over seven years ago, we released Horizon Zero Dawn into the wilds. Players got to meet Aloy, our leading hero, thrust into a journey of (self-)discovery in a mysterious, far-future world ravaged by deadly machines.

It was also the beginning of a thriving community of cosplayers, virtual photographers, fan artists, and content creators who inspire us to this day with their incredible creations. Horizon Zero Dawn is near and dear to many fans, as well as to everyone at Guerrilla.

And that community has not stopped growing. Each year, many millions more pick up Horizon Zero Dawn for the first time. But 7 years is a long time in the world of computer graphics; technology improves. As time moved on, we really wished that new players who join Aloy on her origin story can do it with a version that is worthy of their PS5 or compatible PC. And so, we are thrilled to announce that the game has been remastered by our talented friends at Nixxes.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered launches on October 31. The captivating story and awe-inspiring post-apocalyptic world returns alongside a host of technological improvements, visual enhancements, and upgraded features. It also includes The Frozen Wilds content, a vast expansion featuring additional lands, skills, weapons, and machines. Take a look at the announcement trailer below.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered features over 10 hours of re-recorded conversation, mocap and countless graphical improvements that bring the game to the same visual fidelity as its critically acclaimed sequel Horizon Forbidden West. The game’s lush world includes frozen mountains, dense jungles, and arid deserts with stunning new visuals and 4K graphics and travelling between settlements is now lightning-fast.

The story’s many compelling characters have been upgraded, bringing them in line with current generation advances in character models and rendering. We hope that improved animation, lighting, textures and more will make new and existing fans excited to dive into the action!

The audio experience in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has been significantly enhanced. We’ve completely revamped the sound mix, now supporting PS5 Tempest 3D Audio Tech for higher-order ambisonics and Atmos rendering for an immersive soundscape. Our sound design has also seen major improvements, with hundreds of improvements both in-game and in the cinematics.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered takes full advantage of the PS5 console’s power and features. The DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers ensure incredible immersion during tense combat, stealthy exploration, or scaling a gigantic Tallneck. We’ve integrated custom haptics for the DualSense controller throughout the game, providing tactile feedback that heightens immersion. Additionally, we’ve introduced a new optional accessibility feature that utilizes sound and haptic feedback to notify players of interactable elements, such as pickups, that were previously only indicated visually.

We’re also very happy to share that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered comes with native support for PlayStation 5 Pro. This includes a range of graphical features that have been improved to make use of the power of the PS5 Pro, while also delivering ultra-high fidelity at blazing fast framerates.

The PC version on Windows includes the PlayStation overlay with Trophy support and has its own set of features, such as support for ultra-wide resolutions and the latest performance enhancing technologies like NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3.1 with frame generation4. We will let our Nixxes partners expand more in a future blog.

Many of the accessibility features that were first introduced in Horizon Forbidden West have been included for this Remastered version as well; remappable controls, haptic cues, and various assist toggles will enable all players to fully enjoy the game.

For those that have already played it, we’ve made sure that your old save games will work; so this is a great opportunity to dive into New Game+ or get back into Photo Mode with all your previously unlocked outfits and customizations.
