A new update for Horizon Zero Dawn has added a 60fps mode for PlayStation 5 users.
Update 1.53 is out now and unlocks the frame rate so the game can now run at 60fps in backwards compatibility mode.

It also removes the Graphics Mode option from the game when it’s running on a PS5, because the update makes it redundant. It also fixes streaming performance issues when the game is being played on aPlayStation 5.
The patch was officially announced during theGamescomOpening Night Live event, during which it was also confirmed thatsequel Horizon Forbidden West has been delayedto February 2022.

Amsterdam-based Guerrilla had always desired to deliver a series of Horizon games – and a multi-part script was written – but the plan was only officially agreed after the original game’s strong debut onPlayStation 4.
Horizon is set on a far-future Earth where nature has reclaimed the planet, but massive animal-like machines rule the land. Zero Dawn follows the story of Aloy, a young woman on a quest to explore the ruins of the ancient past.

The title was both a commercial and critical success, and went on to win the 2018 BAFTA Games Award for Original Property.
