Boost your Horizon Forbidden West frame rate with this new update

As the weeks pass by since the Horizon Forbidden West launch, it's only right to hope for a steady stream of updates to ensure the PC port plays as smoothly as possible. Sure enough, Nixxes has just issued the Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition 1.3.55.0 update, bringing with it a particularly nice new feature in the shape of Intel XeSS 1.3.

Intel XeSS is big blue's equivalent to Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, in that it provides a smarter way for games to render from a lower render resolution to a higher upscaled output resolution without putting a big dent in image quality. As a result, you can boost your Horizon Forbidden West frame rate while hardly noticing a difference in the look of the game.

Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition 1.3.55.0 Release Notes

Hey everyone,

Patch 1.3 is out now for Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC. This update includes new features, visual improvements and a range of optimizations, bugfixes and stability improvements, based on player feedback.

We've improved the visual quality of dust effects and made improvements to texture streaming to reduce memory usage and improve texture quality. This update also resolves performance regression that could occur when using the NVIDIA Reflex On+Boost setting.

In the General Settings menu, you'll find a new Interface Text Size option. Choose Large to improve legibility of the interface and in-game text on smaller screens. On Steam Deck, this option is set to Large by default.

This patch also updates Intel XeSS to version 1.3. This version introduces improvements in image quality, more quality options and a new anti-aliasing option: Intel XeSS Native AA. This mode improves anti-aliasing quality, without applying upscaling. To use XeSS Native AA, set upscaling to Off and select XeSS Native AA from the anti-aliasing settings.

From the teams at Nixxes and Guerilla: Thank you to everyone for playing and sharing feedback. We appreciate your insights that help us continue to improve the game.
