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.

This Horizon Forbidden West download is essential for Intel gamers

Horizon Forbidden West is finally with us and proving to be a solid if unsensational sequel to the beautiful original. However, its performance on Intel Arc GPUs has thus far been affected by "longer than expected load times," which this latest Intel GPU driver download aims to fix.


While our Horizon Forbidden West review found that other issues such as "a lack of ambition and a flat narrative" affect the storytelling of the game, we didn't otherwise encounter major performance issues on our Nvidia GPU-based test hardware. However, for users of Intel Arc GPUs the experience may not have been ideal, making the new Intel Arc GPU Graphics Drivers 101.5382 WHQL download essential if you have a graphics card such as the Intel Arc A770.
