Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered: a full return to the legend of machines and the hunter Aloy
Back in 2017, Guerrilla proved it could do far more than shooters โ it built an entire world where Earth's distant future looks like untamed wilderness overrun by giant mechanical beasts. Horizon Zero Dawn became one of the standout games of its generation, and in 2024 it got a full remaster. What you're buying here is exactly that version โ Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered โ delivered as a Steam gift straight into your library.
What the game is about
The story unfolds a thousand years after human civilization collapsed. People have returned to a tribal way of life, hunting with bow and spear, while the valleys and mountains are roamed by machines โ from harmless grazing "horses" to deadly Thunderjaws and house-sized Rockbreakers. The protagonist, Aloy, is an outcast of the Nora tribe searching for the truth about her own origins, slowly uncovering a deeper mystery: what really happened to the old world, and why machines now rule the planet. The narrative grips you not through bombast but through how carefully it unwinds its puzzle โ every answer opens an even bigger question.
What the remaster changes
This is far more than a resolution bump. Guerrilla rebuilt the visuals using technology from the sequel, Horizon Forbidden West:
- reworked lighting, materials and foliage โ the world looks noticeably more alive than the original;
- overhauled facial animation and over 10 hours of re-recorded dialogue with new motion capture โ conversations no longer feel stiff;
- support for ultra-wide resolutions on PC, plus NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3.1 with frame generation;
- the PlayStation overlay with Trophy support, right inside the Steam version.
If you've played the original, this is a reason to return and see familiar places with fresh eyes. If you never did, it's the best way to discover the series.
The Frozen Wilds is already included
No need to buy the expansion separately. Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered bundles The Frozen Wilds โ a large story expansion set in the snowy lands north of the main map. It adds a new region, its own story arc, extra skills, weapons and especially dangerous machines. In effect you get the complete edition: the main campaign plus the expansion in one package.
How we deliver the gift
The product is delivered as a Steam Gift through our bot. The flow is simple and hands-off:
- you provide your Steam friend-invite link and your account region;
- the bot adds itself to your friends and sends the gift โ usually within a couple of minutes;
- there's no friend request to accept, it all happens automatically;
- once delivery is done, the bot removes itself from your friends list.
Steam Guard is not required to receive the gift. The only thing that matters is that your profile settings allow friend requests.
About the region โ read carefully
The gift comes in variants with different regional coverage: one with a wide set of regions and one single-region option. Pick the one that matches your Steam account region. This is the key condition: Steam won't let you accept the gift if the gift region and the account region don't match. The second mandatory condition is that the game must not already be in the recipient account's library โ you can't gift a copy to someone who already owns it.
What it runs on
This is the PC version for Steam, built for Windows. It plays nicely with modern hardware and supports upscalers and ultra-wide monitors. No game-ID input fields are needed โ this isn't a top-up, it's a full game that lands in your Steam library like any other purchase.
If you love the Horizon universe and games like it
If you enjoy big story-driven adventures from PlayStation studios, check out the continuation of Aloy's journey in Horizon Forbidden West, the grim saga of Kratos in God of War, or Sam Bridges' meditative trek in Death Stranding Director's Cut. All three come from the same wave of major single-player hits as Horizon.
In short
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is the full, visually rebuilt version of the cult classic with The Frozen Wilds expansion included. You get it as a Steam gift: choose your region, drop your invite link, and the game appears in your library. After that, all that's left is to grab a bow and go hunt some machines.
