Having first launched on PS5 in February 2022, those on PC have patiently awaited its debut – and now, at long last, developer Guerrilla Games has confirmed a release window.

We even have a trailer showing off all the tech that will enhance the experience, such as DLSS support. The port will be handled by Nixxes, which previously handled the likes of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel's Spider-Man on PC.

With hopefully not too long to go until launch, here's everything we know so far about Horizon Forbidden West on PC.

When is the Horizon Forbidden West PC release date?

Guerilla Games has confirmed that Horizon Forbidden West will be released on PC sometime in early 2024.

This means the action RPG could arrive in Q1 or Q2, potentially up until May unless a delay is announced. It will be launched on both Steam and the Epic Games Store simultaneously.

What is the Horizon Forbidden West – Complete Edition?

Can I pre-order Horizon Forbidden West on PC?

Pre-orders for Horizon Forbidden West on PC are not yet live. You can add the game to your wishlist on Steam for the time being until further details are announced.

Pricing has yet to be confirmed, either. We're expecting it to launch at a similar cost to that of Marvel's Spider-Man, which arrived at an RRP of £49.99 / $59.99 in the UK and the US. Once official pricing has been announced, we'll update this piece.
