Horizon Forbidden West Update 1.030 Adds Power Save Feature
After what feels like forever, Guerrilla Games has pushed out Horizon Forbidden West update 1.030 (complete version 1.030.000), and this is a minor update that primarily adds the Power Save feature.
Given the game doesn’t feature a multiplayer component, it’s understandable that title updates are few and far between. Same as in previous updates, this patch is exclusie to the PS5 version, since the Power Save feature is only available on Sony’s current-gen console.
