The latest update for Horizon Forbidden West makes the game look even better on PS5. Patch 1.17 adds variable refresh rate (VRR) and high refresh rate (HFR) support, as well as adds a new “Balanced” graphics mode with 40fps support, ideal for players with 120Hz displays.
The new features were highly requested by fans, due largely to the huge impact they can have on visual fidelity. VRR syncs your refresh rate to the console output, eliminating screen tearing and other artifacting issues. The new “Balanced” graphics mode looks to create a happy medium between fidelity and frame rate, joining the Performance and Fidelity modes.
