Horizon Forbidden West is the next big first-party PlayStation exclusive that’s making the jump to PC, and ahead of its launch for the platform later this month, Sony has revealed the port’s system requirements- and they’re quite hefty, as you might expect from a game this technically ambitious.
Regardless of which preset you’re choosing to play the game at, you’re going to need 16 GB of RAM, an SSD, and an eye-watering 150 GB of storage. On the lowest settings, which will run the game at 720p and 30 FPS, you’ll need either an i3-8100 or a Ryzen 3 1300X, along with either a GeForce GTX 1650 or a Radeon RX 5500XT.
Meanwhile, on the highest settings, to play the game at 4K and 60 FPS, you’ll need either an i7-11700 or a Ryzen 7 5700X, along with either a GeForce RTX 4080 or a Radeon RX 7900XT. You can check out the full system requirements below.
Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition will launch for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on March 21.
