Horizon Forbidden West loads so quickly on PS5 that Guerrilla Games had to deliberately slow it down to give players a chance to read the loading screen prompts.

According to Engadget, Forbidden West director Matijs de Jonge talked about the incredibly fast loading times of the PlayStation 5 and how it compares to Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4." 

“In Horizon Zero Dawn, we called it fast travel, but it can actually take about a minute to load,” de Jonge said.

“With PS5 it can be four or five seconds, it loads so fast that players can't even read the tooltips. We had to add a very simple feature that allows you to pause the download so that you can read at least one hint during the download."

IN Horizon Forbidden West on PS5, you'll notice that you have to press X to move from the loading screen to gameplay. But you can turn this off in the settings menu so that the game loads right away without having to press X.
