When Horizon Forbidden West launched, we recommended playing with the 30fps quality mode - because the 60fps mode's 3200x1800 checkerboard solution didn't quite work. However, Guerrilla Games' latest patch is a game-changer. It's still 1800p checkerboard, but the developers have massively revamped the anti-aliasing solution, removing the shimmer and vastly improving image quality. So which way should you play the game now - 30fps 4K or 60fps checkerboard? John Linneman gives us his thoughts!

Horizon Forbidden West PS5 Patch 1.16: 60FPS Performance Mode Finally Fixed!

Excited to see your take on the patch. To me, it was just revelatory. I put the game down at launch because I just couldn't get into either modes on offer (we are truly spoiled with 60 fps this gen on consoles!) but reading people's takes online of this new patch made me jump back in. And wowza, you only get one first impression but if you can make your second one this good, I can forgive you. It's not perfect, and you can certainly see the compromises on a large display, but it's a night and day improvement.
