Horizon Forbidden West will come to PC in “early 2024,” Dutch port house Nixxes Software confirmed today. The sci-fi action-RPG marks the latest in a steady drumbeat of Sony’s first-party exclusives making the jump from PlayStation 5 to Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Nixxes will work together with Guerrilla Games on the PC version of 2022's Forbidden West, the sequel that saw protagonist Aloy journey across a bucolic but machine-infested American Midwest. It will also be the “complete” edition of the game, combining the base campaign with 2023's Burning Shores expansion, which brought players to post-apocalyptic Los Angeles.

Horizon Forbidden West is a sprawling map game about hunting giant dino-like robots and unraveling the mystery of what happened to Earth. While it largely took a “more of the same but better” approach to iterating on the first game, it’s hard not to be won over by its overwhelmingly detailed world and the sheer variety of things you can do in it.

Sony announced in May that the game had sold over 8 million copies, and multiple spin-offs are rumored to be in the works. In addition to a virtual reality game for PS VR2 called Call of the Mountain, Guerrilla Games is also working on an online multiplayer Horizon game, as well as a third game in the existing trilogy.
