Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Forbidden West is one of the most anticipated games at the moment. Thanks to the constant promotional content from the developer, the upcoming sequel has managed to stay in trend despite facing a tough fight from other heavyweights. Now that Horizon Forbidden West is hardly a month away, it’s quite common to come across early details for the awaited title. And for any gaming lover, a partial impression ahead of time for a major release always proves to be helpful. The same is the case with Horizon Forbidden West. Fortunately, now we have some clarity on how it will perform on PS4 compared to PS5 upon debut.

Recently, PlayStation revealed what fans can expect from the upcoming exclusive for PlayStation 4. Because we already know that Horizon Forbidden West is stunning on PlayStation 5, given the various clips released so far. The latest reveal clears the doubt that people must be having about Horizon Forbidden West on past gen consoles. Simply put, the game looks really awesome on the PlayStation 4 Pro, according to the official PS blog [https://blog.playstation.com/2022/01/27/a-glimpse-at-horizon-forbidden-west-ps4-gameplay/]. In fact, the blog stated that Horizon Forbidden West is made to “make sure you get to enjoy the best experience on each platform.” Speaking of direct comparison, then Horizon Forbidden West [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-the-matrix-star-has-a-bold-take-on-her-role-in-horizon-forbidden-west-i-really-love-playing-manipulative-people/] will support 60 fps gameplay on PS5. Whereas, on the PS4, you can expect a lower frame rate of 30 fps. But again, the latter’s not confirmed yet from the side of Guerrilla [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-ces-sees-guerrilla-promise-an-exciting-experience-involving-the-next-gen-playstation-vr/]. So there’s no way to say if the older generation device will get a similar FPS as its current-gen counterpart. Few things, however, are definitely exclusive to PlayStation 5 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-eagle-eyed-fans-uncover-major-hint-on-playstation-5-getting-backward-compatibility/] only. For example, the support for 3D audio and DualSense [https://www.essentiallysports.com/dualsense-nba-2k21-and-god-of-war-playstation-black-friday-sale-has-some-amazing-deals-for-you-esports-news/] controller. Since the game has already gone gold, as mentioned above, it is certain that the title will come out on its scheduled date next month. Forbidden West launches on February 18, 2022, for PS5 and PS4.
