PlayStation and Guerrilla announced on Twitter yesterday that patch 1.09 for Horizon forbidden to the West is available for download, bringing improvements in different areas. They posted the patch notes on the Horizon subreddit.
Horizon forbidden to the West Patch 1.09 focuses on fixing issues related to main quests, as well as several issues related to side quests. Issues with objects or characters spawning in the wrong place or getting stuck in different objects are also resolved.
This update brings a much needed improvement regarding the sharpness of visual graphics performance and the dev team asks players to report any bugs and issues through their support form.
The patch notes also list some known issues that we are still working on, such as Horizon Forbidden West’s shimmering glitches and trophies not appearing to all players. You can check out all the details in the patch notes below.
