Guerrilla Games released the details of Horizon: Zero Dawn’s first patch and the team actually changed a bit, including a lot of bugs causing crashes.
Not only did Guerrilla patch Zero Dawn, they also gave the game a very recent hotfix, which changed two balancing issues. So far, the team has been doing great making sure the game is running the way it is supposed to and making sure the balance is proper is just as important. They are also encouraging players to let them know what they think.
