Game news Horizon Forbidden West: a brand new update, here is everything that changes
One of the mega-hits of the PS5 in 2022 is now out and it’s party time for many players: however, there are still a few things to fix, right and left. That’s why Guerrilla Games has just brought a 1.06 patch.
Once upon a patch in the west
A week before Elden Ring (which now occupies the news) came out Horizon Forbidden Westanother mega-hit whose reviews also turned out to be majestic. Guerrilla Games has worked hard to deliver a gigantic game with superb plasticity and a licked script, making it one of the best PlayStation 5 titles to date. And that’s already really good.
Nevertheless, no one is perfect, not even Aloy whose adventure might still present some pitfalls, here and there. The Dutch developers know this very well and following the deployment of a 1.05 patch, it is quite logically the turn of 1.06 to make its arrival: the studio has also presented the complete description on Reddit, which we have translated for you below.
Be careful though: the patch notes may contain some minor spoilers. But then really, little ones.
