Horizon Call of the Mountain – Patch 1.04 is Now Live, Adds High Contrast Mode and Auto Crafting

While Guerrilla Games prepares for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, its VR title Horizon Call of the Mountain has received a new patch. It adds several new accessibility features, like High Contrast Mode, Auto Crafting for arrows and tools, and the option to enable and disable tutorials when replaying missions.

There are also more options for subtitles, from speaker colors and larger font sizes to a black box behind them. The patch also features fixes for crashes, performance, Machines, etc. If you’ve been getting stuck on objects or blocked from progressing because you killed a Stormbird near a campfire, that should all be fixed.

Check out the full patch notes below for more details. Horizon Call of the Mountain is available now for PlayStation VR2. Sales are unconfirmed, but the headset has reportedly not been performing well, and a price cut is needed to avert disaster. Sony hasn’t officially confirmed this, so stay tuned for more details in the future.
