Horizon Forbidden West | recommended requirements for the PC

Aloy’s adventure is preparing to make the jump to PC from PlayStation and just three weeks after its launch , the minimum and recommended requirements that Horizon Forbiden West will ask of us to be played on our compatible devices have been announced . We tell you in this guide what you will need to run it in its four presets .

Horizon Forbidden West requirements on PC

The launch of the Guerrilla Games game adapted to PC is imminent and although we already had an estimate of the necessary requirements to play it on the Horizon Forbidden West Steam page , it was today that Tom Warren – editor in chief of   The Verge – has published through its X (Twitter) account the official table of minimum and recommended requirements for the game.

Horizon Forbidden West will land on PC with up to four types of preset requirements to run it at different levels of quality, the most basic being quite affordable for the general public, while those with the highest visual quality will already require state- of-the-art equipment .

	MINIMUM	RECOMMENDED	HIGH	VERY HIGH
PRESET	Very low	Half	High	Very High (Ultra)
PERFORMANCE	720p @30FPS	1080p @60FPS	1440 @60 FPS or 4K @30 FPS	4K @60FPS
PROCESSOR (CPU)	i3-8100 Ryzen 3 1300X	i5-8600 Ryzen 5 3600	i7-9700 Ryzen 7 3700X	i7-11700 Ryzen 7 5700X
RAM	16GB DDR	16GB DDR	16GB DDR	16GB DDR
GRAPHICS CARD (GPU)	GTX 1650 4GB RX 5500XT 4GB	RTX 3060 8GB RX 5700 8GB	RTX 3070 8GB RX 6800 8GB	RTX 4080 12GB RX 7900XT 12GB
STORAGE	150GB (SSD)	150GB (SSD)	150GB (SSD)	150GB (SSD)
OS	Windows 10-64 bit (version 1909 or higher)	Windows 10-64 bit (version 1909 or higher)	Windows 10-64 bit (version 1909 or higher)	Windows 10-64 bit (version 1909 or higher)

The big obstacle is going to be the storage space on the disk, a trend that is increasingly common when asking us for a good portion of free space, up to 150 GB . The “aggravating factor” in this case is that the game requires an SSD to be able to install even the simplest and most modest version of requirements, so you will probably want to check if you have one and if you are interested in updating it to enjoy the game. game. Likewise, it is a logical size since the PC version will be launched with all the additional content that the game starring Aloy has been receiving since its launch 2 years ago.

When can Horizon Forbidden West be preloaded?

Regarding its preload , there is still no information regarding when players will be able to start downloading it so as not to have to eat up a lot of waiting time for those 150 gigabytes. Typically, Sony games that have been accepted into the PC family have had a somewhat fair preload, 24 hours in advance at most.

However, there are still a little more than 2 weeks left for the official launch, and between now and then there could be news regarding this issue, of which we will keep you informed. In the meantime, if you haven’t tried the game, we recommend that you take a look at the game analysis .
