Horizon Forbidden West PC requirements have been revealed by Sony

Many have speculated what kind of hardware would be necessary to run Horizon Forbidden West and the latestSony blog postanswers this question.

The game requires Windows 10 1909 or higher and 150GB of SSD storage to install. RAM requirement is the same for all presets and it’s set at 16GB.

You’ll be able to get around 30 FPS at 720p with Intel Core i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB or AMD Radeon RX 5500XT 4GB.

To experience the game at 1080p and 60pfs, you’ll need an Intel Core i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700.

If you’re looking for 4K resolution at 60FP you’ll need Intel Core i7-11700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900XT.

Many users on theSteamDeck subredditaren’t too happy with the requirements but since this is a PS5 game, high requirements are expected:

That’s rough, but not ridiculous. Also, it’s a PS5 game, no one was expecting it to run well on SD.
