LEGO Horizon Adventures Missing Major Feature on PlayStation

LEGO Horizon Adventures Missing Major Feature on PlayStation

Key Takeaways

  • LEGO Horizon Adventures will not offer any PS5 Pro enhancements at launch.
  • PS5 players can toggle between 30fps Fidelity mode and 60fps Performance mode in LEGO Horizon Adventures.
  • These modes will be available for LEGO Horizon Adventures players on PS5 Pro, and the upgraded console may even retroactively improve the game’s performance.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I have to admit, it’s always a bit of a letdown when highly anticipated games fail to leverage the full potential of the latest hardware. The case of LEGO Horizon Adventures is no exception. Having just upgraded to a shiny new PS5 Pro, I was looking forward to diving into this whimsical take on the Horizon universe. However, it seems that I’ll have to settle for the base PS5 version at launch, as the game lacks native support for my new console.


Fresh reviews on LEGO Horizon Adventures reveal that it won’t receive an upgrade for the PlayStation 5 Pro at its release. Given that LEGO Horizon Adventures is the first game from PlayStation Studios to come out post-PlayStation 5 Pro launch, there was anticipation that the title would be tailored for the improved mid-generation console. However, it seems this enhancement might not be part of the initial launch package.

Developed by the creators of the Horizon series, Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo, LEGO Horizon Adventures offers a playful and enchanting interpretation of the post-apocalyptic Horizon universe. Characters like the protagonist Aloy are rendered in vibrant LEGO bricks instead of the grittier style found in the main series entries. The game will be available for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC within a day, but surprisingly, one major platform is missing from this lineup.

The reviews for LEGO Horizon Adventures are coming out before its release, and it appears that the game doesn’t natively support the PS5 Pro, which could be a letdown for those who recently purchased this upgraded console expecting new games to take advantage of its enhanced hardware.

LEGO Horizon Adventures PS5 Performance Details and Modes

Fidelity Mode

  • Higher-resolution textures
  • Detailed lighting and shadows
  • 30fps framerate

Performance Mode

  • Reduced visual effects
  • 60fps framerate

At its release on PS5, the game LEGO Horizon Adventures will provide Fidelity and Performance options. The Fidelity option enhances visual clarity and lighting/shadow details at the expense of a 30fps frame rate. On the other hand, the Performance mode prioritizes a smooth 60fps gameplay by trimming some graphical features. Notably, these modes are accessible for PS5 Pro users too. Additionally, if LEGO Horizon Adventures experiences performance issues on the PS5 Pro, it might benefit from unofficial improvements to smoothen out any performance hiccups.

It’s odd that PlayStation’s first game post the launch of the PS5 Pro doesn’t support it, although it might be because Guerrilla and Studio Gobo were primarily concentrating on perfecting LEGO Horizon Adventures for its three upcoming platforms. Although it’s reasonable to assume that enhancements for LEGO Horizon Adventures on PS5 Pro are in the works, the question of when these improvements will be released remains unanswered.
