Horizon Forbidden West: Developers Working on Fixing ‘Various Visual Issues’ [IGN]

Players are reporting that the game includes some visual bugs including brightness flaring up, some assets blurring when the camera moves, and textures popping in too late.

Guerrilla thanked players on Reddit for sharing their visual issues with the team, saying that it is “working vigilantly to resolve these issues with high priority and are aiming to get an update out as soon as possible.

“We understand your frustrations and appreciate your patience. We are doing our best to quickly get you back out into the wilds so you can explore all the secrets of the Forbidden West.”

It’s hard to say when the update will be released as Guerrilla applied a patch just four days ago, when the game released on February 18.

The original Horizon Zero Dawn received post-launch patches on a weekly basis, with the first one releasing exactly seven days after its launch.

It’s unknown if Guerrilla will stick to this sort of release schedule for its updates to Horizon Forbidden West but these visual issues will seemingly be the first to be addressed when the patch does arrive.

The problems don’t appear to affect the game’s overall enjoyability too much as IGN said the PlayStation exclusive was “amazing” as “Horizon Forbidden West is an absolute blast and fantastic showcase for the power of the PS5.”
