If you are afraid that your system may not be able to run the game, the same blog post noted that the game will launch a good variety of settings for you to tweak the visuals and performance to your liking.
Aside from individual quality settings for textures, level of detail (LOD), shadows, water, terrain, and so on, the Horizon Forbidden West will also feature sliders to adjust the field of view and various visual effects such as motion blur and film grain.
There will also be toggles to adjust full screen effects like radial blur, lens flares, bloom, and vignette.
Announced a month ago, Horizon Forbidden West is slated to launch on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store with the Complete Edition on March 21st, 2024.
As the name implies, the PC version will come included with the Burning Shores expansion and various other bonus content.
