Anyone still unable to secure a PS5 due to supply chain issues will be happy to hear that Horizon Forbidden West is still gorgeous on PS4.
It was pretty surprising to learn that the follow-up to Horizon Zero Dawn would be a cross-generation title, with many assuming the PS4 port will be severely technically inferior to its PS5 brethren. Hard to blame that sentiment, given how stunning the game looks. However, Guerrilla Games reassured everyone that it’s gorgeous no matter what on Wednesday.
The studio finally shared some images of Horizon Forbidden West on PS4. Low and behold, it looks beautiful too! Obviously, we won’t know what sort of drawbacks there might be in terms of resolution or framerate on Sony’s last-generation console, but the screenshots below should temper the fears of anyone picking up this version.

The game certainly is beautiful, regardless of whether it’s on seven-year-old hardware or not. It’ll be curious to see how long the load times on PS4 will be.
Of course, the PS5 version will surely look and perform better, but it’s good that the open to pick up Horizon Forbidden West for PS4 is there. That way, more people can experience its horrifying underwater robot lizards.
