Guerrilla Games claims Horizon Forbidden West will be beautiful on PS4 Pro, and there’s no arguing with that after seeing it in motion.
Since Horizon Forbidden West’s PS5 announcement in 2020, most everyone assumes the PS4 versions won’t hold a candle to its next-generation counterpart. Well, Sony revealed what the action-adventure RPG looks like running on PS4 Pro, and it’s looking damn good.
In a PlayStation Blog post, the company announced that not only has Horizon Forbidden West gone gold, but that it’s confident that the last-generation version will still turn heads. We’ve not seen the game running natively in motion on PS4 Pro before, but it’s pretty. Take a look for yourself below.

Guerrilla Games also released some never-before-seen screenshots of the PS4 Pro version, and it’s practically on par with PS5 from a glance. At least in terms of pure pixel count, who knows how much better it’ll run on PS5.

While most would prefer playing on PS5, the console is still a total pain to track down. If you haven’t got one yet, signing up for PlayStation Direct is a good bet.
Regardless of platform, Horizon Forbidden West will be gorgeous for its Feb. 18, 2022 release on PS4, PS4 Pro, and PS5.
