Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores Update 1.24 Addresses Framerate Drops, Improves Visuals, Fixes Quests
Guerrilla Games and Sony have deployed Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores update 1.24 for PlayStation 5, which addresses some frame rate drops, improves visuals and sound, and more.
Earlier this month, Guerrilla released patch 1.23 for The Burning Shores, packing some highly-requested fixes and various improvements. Fast forward two weeks and the team has now rolled out another patch - update 1.24. According to Guerrilla Games, this new update packs various fixes for community-reported issues, including fixes for Aerial Captures and more. The release notes for this update mention quite a lot of quest-related fixes, including fixes for main quests, side-quests as well as fixes for world activities, and data points. PS5 players will be happy to learn that an annoying main quest fix is included with this patch - one that prevented progress during The Burning Shores main quest where creating a save at the campfire during the “Climb Up the Tower” objective could lead to Seyka blocking the path.
Aside from quest-related fixes, this brand-new update also packs improvements to sound, art assets, the game's visuals, and art optimization. In addition, this update should address some frame rate drops. The list of full changes and improvements is quite large so we suggest reading it in full here.
Horizon Forbidden West is available worldwide now for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. As most of you will know, the recently-released Burning Shores expansion is only available on PlayStation 5. As reported last week, sales for The Forbidden West have surpassed 8.4 million copies across PS5 and PS4 with total sales for the Horizon franchise exceeding 32.7 million - impressive numbers for sure.
Here's what we wrote about the sequel to 2017's Zero Dawn in our launch review last year:
"Horizon Forbidden West is a worthy sequel to Zero Dawn in every way, proving that Guerrilla is no one-hit wonder when it comes to the action RPG genre", Alessio Palumbo wrote in his review of the PS5 version. "This huge and beautiful world has an incredible amount of things to do and most of them are really fun, thanks to improvements to combat and traversal. The game also features another great storyline that will get fans talking about the inevitable sequel."
