In addition to this, the latest Horizon Forbidden West update will continue to address a variety of the other smaller niggles and issues that some have found in the game. Please note there may be some minor story spoilers below.

You will also no longer get blocked from progressing in “Nights of Lights” if you collected the “Gizmo” earlier on in the game.
The UI for Horizon Forbidden West has also seen a small refresh. Guerrilla has updated the text where you can choose to have a go at the game’s “Ultra Hard” difficulty mode. This new text will make it clearer that the setting cannot be changed once selected.
Additionallly, the developer has made “multiple localisation and subtitles fixes and improvements” across the board.
