The new patch will tackle many issues that players had with the game and introduces crash fixes and performance improvements reported by the community, Guerrilla said.

Horizon Forbidden West
On a blog post about the patch, we can find the information that the studio is shifting to less frequent updates for the PC version after this patch, focusing on Horizon Forbidden West.
