Guerrilla Games in a recent interview with Julien Chièze, which was posted on YouTube, revealed Horizon Forbidden West will feature a Performance Mode on the PlayStation 5. It allows players to play the game at 60 FPS.
A performance mode with a higher framerate will likely mean the game will run at a lower resolution than a Quality Mode. It was confirmed the game will support ray-tracing on the PlayStation 5.
Horizon Forbidden West is in development for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. It is on track to release in Holiday 2021, however, that isn't 100 certain yet.

As it should... Any game that involves combat must have a 60fps mode from here on.
Awesome! It's great to have options!
It damn sure better. I'd be pretty disappointed if a marquee, first party title like this couldn't do 60fps.
60 fps sounds pretty sweet here we go!
Still waiting for 60 fps on hzd on ps5 does it have it?
Well, if raytracing is their vision to push the PS5 version to look noticeably better than PS4, maybe that will be included in this 60fps mode. We saw that with the likes of Spiderman Miles Morales (albeit patched in at a later date) If this does turn out to be the case, i wouldn't expect anything higher than 1080p. The game will look gorgeous regardless of how many pixels its pushing. As this generations moves on, we'll see resolution numbers meaning less and less in terms of how the game visuallys looks.
60 fps is a must, especially when things get intense or there is a lot going on .
At what resolution? For people using a traditional TV 1440p isn't an option so is it 1080p/60fps?
Is 1440p a common choice outside of the USA? What is that 2k? Maybe I missed the 1440p generation here.
It is common in the PC space where wide variety of resolution formats exist, many of which don't line up 1:1 with video format resolutions or even ratios. TVs are designed almost solely around video media which is vast majority of their usage, so don't tend to come in native resolutions outside of standard video formats i.e. 4K/1080p/720p. Consoles tend to support what TVs do since that is how vast majority of console audience plays (i.e. not on PC monitors although that is indeed possible) and consoles want to be able to optimize for single output format. 1440p was and is economical in offering higher resolution than 1080p while allowing better performance than 4K with low-mid end GPU, especially in era where 4K monitors were rarer and often not gaming optimized e.g. latency etc.
rapsuperstar31 1080p "full HD" is 2K. 1440p is a half step that looks great on a monitor but not many TVs support it....
It will be dynamic.
The 2 people whose feelings were both hurt by that comment might just be soul mates.
Of course, it is just a remastered PS4 game.
