As a seasoned gamer who has journeyed through the post-apocalyptic wilderness of Horizon Zero Dawn back in 2017, I can barely contain my excitement for this upcoming remastered edition! The prospect of revisiting Aloy’s epic adventure with graphical updates and improved gameplay features is simply irresistible.


The popular game, Horizon Zero Dawn, has been officially announced for an upgrade, releasing on both PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. This updated version, known as Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, boasts enhanced graphics that match the quality of its sequel, and will be available globally from October 31st.

In 2017 for PlayStation 4 and later in 2020 for PC, the game Horizon Zero Dawn introduced a fresh sci-fi series starring Aloy, a resourceful huntress from the Nora tribe. Players delved into the post-apocalyptic remnants of America, unraveling the mystery behind the collapse of the old world and simultaneously saving the new one. The game was followed by Horizon Forbidden West in 2022, with another sequel, likely the last in the Horizon series, expected to be announced soon.

It appears that players will get an opportunity to explore the series’ origin in a refreshed manner ahead of schedule. In the Sony State of Play, Guerrilla Games unveiled that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is set to launch on both PlayStation 5 and PC on October 31st. The upgraded edition offers re-performed motion capture for numerous hours, graphics equivalent to Horizon Forbidden West, and optimizations to leverage the capabilities of modern PC and PlayStation 5 hardware, thereby enhancing the visuals and performance.

Notably, “Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered” will be playable on PlayStation 5 Pro as of its release date on November 7.

For those who already possess the original “Horizon Zero Dawn”, you can upgrade to its digital remastered version at a cost of $10. If you own the physical copy, simply insert your disc into your PlayStation 5 console for the upgrade.
