Nixxes and Guerrilla Games have deployed Horizon Forbidden West PC Patch 1.2.48.0, which contains bugfixes, optimizations, and stability improvements.
After last week’s 1.1 update, we now have another patch for the PC version. Unfortunately for AMD users, there’s no mention of AMD FSR 3 support (which Nixxes confirmed to be working on last week). Today’s update addresses visual corruption for those using AMD Radeon RX 6000 GPUs. In addition, it offers optimizations to address stutter that could occur on certain locations within the game. Also, this update fixes an issue that could cause the Level and XP bar to be displayed incorrectly. In addition, the patch offers various User Interface bug fixes.
“Today’s update for Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition further improves stability and contains bugfixes and optimizations based on player feedback”, Nixxes writes. “This patch addresses stutters that could occur on specific locations and resolves visual corruption on the map that could occur on AMD Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards.”
The full release notes for this update can be found here.

Horizon Forbidden West is the sequel to 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn and is available worldwide now for PC, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. Here’s what we wrote about the sequel in our 2022 launch review of the PlayStation 5 version:
“The traversal options are also much improved in Horizon Forbidden West. You can grapple to certain predetermined points (even in combat, which is extremely handy to escape the grasp of a rampaging Ravager), and you can also use a Shieldwing to glide down from the higher ground.
However, the real gamechanger is only unlocked towards the end of the main quest: flying. That’s right; you’ll be able to override Sunwing machines and summon them to fly all around the world, which is incredibly cool in and of itself. You won’t do any combat while flying (despite there being a barrel roll move), which might be a tad disappointing to some, but rest assured that just experiencing this stunning post-apocalyptic world while airborne is an awesome feeling. I do wish this would have been unlocked earlier, though.”
