Horizon: Zero Dawn Patch 1.10 Is Rather Extensive

Horizon: Zero Dawn, Guerrilla Games’ new open world action RPG, is incredibly great- but Guerrilla apparently wants to make it even better, as evidenced by the newest patch that they released for it, which makes far reaching, thorough, extensive systemic changes and additions.

For how much the update changes, it’s actually not all that big, weighing in at just 248.8MB. It fixes a fair few progression bugs in the game, adds a few new things, and generally just enhances the experience all around.

You can check the full patch notes below. Horizon: Zero Dawn is available exclusively on PS4. These patch notes may have spoilers.

We’re pleased to announce that Patch 1.10 for Horizon Zero Dawn has been released today. In addition to fixing a number of progression issues, technical issues and crashes, this patch also introduces several new features, as outlined below.
