Horizon Forbidden West erfreut sich seit seiner Veröffentlichung im letzten Monat eines beeindruckenden kritischen und kommerziellen Erfolgs. In der Zwischenzeit hat Entwickler Guerrilla Games hinter den Kulissen gearbeitet, um sicherzustellen, dass noch bestehende Probleme im Spiel behoben werden. Bisher wurden mehrere Patches für das Open-World-Action-Rollenspiel veröffentlicht, und ein weiterer, das Update 1.08, ist jetzt live gegangen.
Der Fokus liegt wieder einmal auf der Behebung von Fehlern in den Haupt- und Nebenquests, den Nebenaktivitäten in der offenen Welt, der Benutzeroberfläche und mehr, wobei verschiedene Probleme mit dem Spielfortschritt, Glitches, visuelle Fehler und dergleichen behoben werden. Mehrere Abstürze wurden ebenfalls behoben, während die Leistung in verschiedenen Filmsequenzen verbessert wurde. Schließlich hat Guerrilla auch ein Problem behoben, bei dem die Trophäe „Alle Maschinentypen gescannt“ nicht freigeschaltet werden konnte. Alle Details findet ihr in den vollständigen Patchnotizen unten. Einige der Hinweise enthalten Spoiler zur Story, also behaltet das im Hinterkopf.
