Correction: There was an error in the title that is now fixed. If you are looking for Forbidden West settings for Steam Deck, here they are.


Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is an upgrade over the base game that launched on PC. However, is it a worthy upgrade? Well, in my honest opinion, no. There is no need to upgrade because the performance difference on Steam Deck is pretty much the same.

You can maintain a good 30 fps on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. But you need go to use a mix of low and medium settings at 720p.

You may see occasional dips into the mid 20s but overall, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered can maintain 30 fps on Steam Deck.
