How to import old save files in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Players upgrading to Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered can import their old save files from the original to continue their journey, here's how.

Known as Patch 1.1.42.0, this latest update is available for the Steam and Epic Games Store versions on PC. This patch mainly focuses on fixing several issues and improving stability and performance. Specifically, the pre-rendered cutscenes that play at various points in the game now have adjusted audio levels to better match that of the game. Additionally, this new update improves Steam Input. However, some issues remain and players are advised to disable Steam Input for supported controllers until more fixes are implemented.


In addition to these changes, the teams at Nixxes and Guerrilla Games have addressed other issues based on player feedback. For example, a crash resulting from adjusting keyboard and mouse controls has been fixed. Additionally, other issues such as flickering shadows in Meridian at ultra-wide resolutions and HUD cursor rendering issues were fixed. The patch notes also noted that general performance and stability improvements had been implemented in Patch 1.1.42.0, potentially offering a smoother gaming experience.

While this patch should improve the overall experience on PC, PlayStation gamers who purchased a PS5 Pro also received a performance boost. With the launch of the more powerful console, gamers have new PS5 Pro improvements for many games, including Horizon Zero Dawn remastered. According to Sony, the game will use the PS5 Pro's hardware to display better visuals compared to those on a standard PS5.


It will be interesting to see what other updates come for Horizon Zero Dawn remastered on both PC and console in the coming weeks. In the latest patch notes from Nixxes and Guerrilla Games, the developers said they rely on player reports to help resolve issues that occur in the game. Hopefully this continued feedback will help eliminate any bugs for players who may still be dealing with issues while playing Horizon Zero Dawn remastered on PC.
