Horizon Zero Dawn PC patches will be less frequent as team shifts focus to sequel

This week, Guerrilla Games officially pushed out its tenth patch for Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, marking a several month long journey to get the PC version as polished as possible. Now though, the studio needs to turn more of its resources towards its next game, meaning PC updates for Zero Dawn are going to be less frequent moving forward. 

Guerrilla Games has already announced its next game – Horizon Forbidden West, which is due out on PS4 and PS5 consoles later this year. The final year of development for any major project usually requires more resources and as a result, Horizon Zero Dawn on PC needs to take a back seat.

As part of the Patch 1.10 announcement, Guerrilla Games explained: “As our team continues development on our upcoming title Horizon Forbidden West, we are shifting to less frequent updates for Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for PC after this patch.”

While updates will be less frequent, community feedback will continue to be monitored so if anything major comes up, the studio will be looking to tackle it. For now though, it looks like the community's crash and bug reports have enabled the studio to squash the majority of issues.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
