In an interview with FrenchYouTubecontent creatorJulien Chièze, Guerrilla Games confirmed that the PS5 version of Horizon Forbidden West will feature a 60fps mode, double the frame rate of the original PS4 game and the recent gameplay footage. It’s not clear at this time what visual cutbacks (lower resolution, for example) will be required to achieve this frame rate, though.
The PS5 version will feature other improvements such as 3D audio, as well asDualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggersupport, allowing players to feel unique sensations like the tension when drawing back a bow.
