Game Description

EARTH IS OURS NO MORE

Experience Aloy’s entire legendary quest to unravel the mysteries of a world ruled by deadly Machines.

An outcast from her tribe, the young hunter fights to uncover her past, discover her destiny… and stop a catastrophic threat to the future.

Unleash devastating, tactical attacks against unique Machines and rival tribes as you explore an open world teeming with wildlife and danger.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a multi-award-winning action role-playing game – and this Complete Edition for PC includes the huge expansion The Frozen Wilds, featuring new lands, skills, weapons and Machines.

Complete Edition includes the following content:

• The Frozen Wilds expansion
• Carja Storm Ranger Outfit and Carja Mighty Bow
• Carja Trader Pack
• Banuk Trailblazer Outfit and Banuk Culling Bow
• Banuk Traveller Pack
• Nora Keeper Pack
• Digital art book
• 2 OSTs

Features and improvements introduced by recent patches:

• Added Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology.
• Added AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution, replacing FidelityFX CAS.
• There is no longer a shader pre-compilation step on startup. The game will always compile shaders during loading and in the background.
• Improved VRAM management when changing resolution or upscale mode, which could cause performance issues that were only fixed by restarting the game
• Fixed various assets using the wrong quality level while using DLSS/FSR
• Fixed visual artifact issue when clipping the camera through a surface like pushing against a wall (ie with large FOVs or ultrawide screens) while using DLSS/FSR
• Fixed visual corruption and reduced foliage flickering issues on certain AMD GPUs
• TAA crash fix on NVidia GTX 600/700 series
• Crash fix for when you open a savegame with DLSS ON on a non-DLSS supporting machine
• Fix to change the default DLSS quality level from ultra performance to quality
• Fix for a black rendered frame right after enabling DLSS
• Fix to apply the auto-detected setting preset on a first/clean run of the game
