Aloy looks across a desolate landscape as the sun illuminates everything in the image. Looking closely, astute readers may notice the way the light seems to reflect off Aloy and her surroundings beautifully, and even individual strands of hair can be seen in the image. This is the kind of intense detail that fans can expect from the PS5, but hopefully they haveTVs good enough to show it.

Everything about this screenshot, from the eerie atmosphere it evokes to the striking lighting effects is just perfect, and really helps to paint a picture of whatHorizon: Forbidden Westwill be like to those players that may not be as familiar with the first game.
