Horizon Forbidden West became even better thanks to to the new patch. Guerrilla Games specialists introduced support for several display modes on the PlayStation 5 in it, and also made a mistake.

Below are the main changes from patch 1.17:

New features (PS5)

  • Variable refresh rate (VRR) and high refresh rate (HFR).
  • Balanced mode - 40 fps on supported screens.

Quests and activities

  • A few fixes in the Wings of Ten story mission:
    • At a certain point in the task, the light wings could appear in the right place - fixed.
    • Defeat Regalla objective is being updated again.
  • Caught a bug in the quest "All That Survived" that caused the cutscene with Tilda not to play after the episode with the painting vault.
  • Acquiring a "gear" before starting the Night of Lights case no longer blocks progress.

Machines and weapons

  • Fixed a bug where Deathwing would not exit stealth after being knocked down.
  • The hearts of the higher fighters stopped appearing in the valuables section of the inventory.
  • Elemental damage arrows fired from maxed bows once again detonate capacities instead of destroying them.
  • Fixed an issue related to "Iriv's Fall" high-precision arrows and bow: the ammunition did not deal additional damage to enemies in a fragile state.

Other

  • The exclamation mark icon no longer lights up in the menu under Skills when all skills have been learned and unused skill points remain.
  • Desert birds were returned by wings - sometimes the object persistently did not fall out of animal carcasses.
  • Fixed a bug where the "All Machine Types Scanned" achievement would not unlock if the gamer scans the remaining machines already in "New Game +".
  • Fixed a bug that disabled the crouch/glide option when it was reassigned to the R1 button.

Guerrilla is working on more than just polishing the sequel. With Firesprite Games it is working on a new project Horizon Call of the Mountain for the PS VR2 helmet. The team shared a trailer with snippets of gameplay. At the same time HFW got an update with "New Game", an additional level of difficulty and more.
