Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for PC - Patch 1.06 is now available

Hi everyone,

We’re very happy to release Patch 1.06 for Horizon Zero Dawn on PC today!

First of all, we want to thank you all for your continued feedback, patience and support. In the past couple of weeks, our team has worked hard on some trickier changes that needed some extra time to develop and test. Patch 1.06 addresses some of these issues with additional crash fixes and further improvements on the game. These include some issues reported by the community, such as Aloy not walking in the direction where the camera was facing when pressing forward.

Rest assured that our team is still working on other known issues, which we hope to have more info on soon.

You can find the Known Issues and full Patch Notes for Patch 1.06 below; if your issue isn’t among them, you can send us your reports here.

Please download Patch 1.06 and let us know what you think!
