New Horizon Forbidden West mods were released online following the game’s PC launch next week, improving the game’s visuals.
The Simple Color Fix mod is an extremely good mod that removes the ugly yellow tint from the game at no performance loss with the help of ReShade. The comparison screenshots below highlight how much better the game looks with the mod.
In case you are looking to improve the Horizon Forbidden West’s visuals further, you can take a look at the Visuals Enhanced mod, another ReShade preset that adds some additional visual tweaks together with the removal of the yellow tint, and the Project Forbidden West – HDR FX, another ReShade preset that adds precise lighting effects with limited impact on performance.
As mentioned above, Horizon Forbidden West debuted on PC last week. The port is another solid one from Nixxes, featuring a slew of PC-exclusive features and little to no technical issues, although with limited visual improvements over the PlayStation 5 release, as highlighted by Alessio in his piece.
Despite the vast and highly detailed open world featured in Horizon Forbidden West, stuttering is nearly non-existent, and powerful rigs can focus on turning on all the graphics settings without worrying too much about performance. Personally, with my RTX 4090 GPU, I went with a combination of DLSS Frame Generation and DLAA to achieve maximum visual fidelity while keeping an average of over 70 frames per second (and consistent frame times) at 4K with maxed settings.
Horizon Forbidden West is now available on PC, PlayStation 5and PlayStation 4 worldwide.
