The PC port seems mainly to be bringing graphical bells and whistles of the kind you’d hope for. It can run at 4K, it’s got ultrawidemonitorsupport, an unlocked framerate, higher detail and longer draw distances, and support for keyboards and different controllers.

Horizon: Zero Dawn was the first game Sony ported to PC and its launch didn’t go smoothly, with crashes, ajerky framerateand bugs such asAloy getting trapped as a child forever.

Port problems aside, Horizon: Zero Dawn is at leasta great game. Days Gone wasn’t as well received upon its original console release - and its sad husband zombie slashing certainly looks like a dirge in the trailer above. A pretty dirge.

That mixed reception is apparently why Bend Studio aren’t working on a Days Gone 2. A report last week at Bloomberg said thatDays Gone 2 was pitched to Sony but rejected, and instead Bend have been assigned to work with Naughty Dog on a multiplayer game and new Uncharted sequels.
