　　Now Playing: Horizon Forbidden West Review

　　With this patch, several tweaks to vegetation have been made to improve image quality while using Performance Mode. Some players have also reported that Firegleam icons can't be removed from their maps after interacting with them--this is currently undergoing a fix--while others have reported that certain music tracks keep replaying during their playthroughs. Guerrilla confirmed that a partial fix was implemented with patch 1.06, but it is still looking into the issue for other players who may be experiencing the bug.

　　As for fixes and improvements that have officially been added with patch 1.07, many revolve around certain buggy main quest like in patch 1.06. Although the number of fixes this time around aren't as long, they still address the most reported bugs--for instance several issues in relation to the Reach for the Starts quest.

　　Many players have reported occasions of crashing, failed loading screens, and black screens that would trigger unintentionally. These, alongside several instances where NPCs and textures would pop in suddenly when approaching a settlement on PS4, have all been fixed. The patch has also added an "Always Off" option for weapons and ammo, along with tools and potions, in the Custom HUD options, as well as brand-new Photo Mode options. The full list of improvements can be found below:
