Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete Edition News

AMD FSR 3.1 is now available in Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition

Hey everyone,

Patch 1.5 is out now for Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC. This update adds AMD FSR 3.1 including frame generation, contains various performance optimizations and introduces new options in the settings menu.

We have been working closely with AMD to incorporate FSR 3.1 in Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition. This performance-enhancing technology can be used with recent graphics cards from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA.

AMD FSR 3.1 includes frame generation and offers improved FSR upscaling quality. It also allows you to use AMD FSR frame generation in combination with any upscaling technology available in the game for your graphics card.

AMD FSR 3.1 also includes a Native AA option that applies high quality anti-aliasing without upscaling, for improved image quality. To enable this option, set Upscaling Method to Off and select AMD FSR 3 Native AA from the anti-aliasing options. This setting can be used in combination with or without frame generation.

We have also made changes under the hood to improve performance and added new options to the Settings menu. The Graphics menu now has a Cinematic Face Detail option with Performance and Quality options. Under Mouse & Keyboard, you can now enable Stylized Mouse Cursor, which may improve the visibility of the cursor on high resolution displays.

This update also improves audio for users of Logitech G HUB Surround Sound software and includes an option in the audio menu to change the output mode, with the choice of Default, Mono, Stereo or Spatial Audio.

We've also resolved various bugs and made user interface improvements based on player feedback. Check out the patch notes below for all the details.

On behalf of the teams at Nixxes and Guerrilla, thanks to everyone for playing Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC and for providing input helping us to improve the game!

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.
