LEGO Horizon Adventures Patch Adds Player Progression Screen, Focus Customization

Guerrilla Games has released a new patch for LEGO Horizon Adventures, which fixes bugs and adds a few new features. For instance, a screen for tracking Player Progression, including overall progress in the game, is available. You can also customize the Focus to highlight specific features.

As for fixes, the chance of getting stuck outside levels has reduced. Animals can now eat the fish from the Fishing Pond, and interacting with different customization plots in Mother’s Heart now provides Studs as rewards. Apex Hunts have also received a balancing pass.

For co-op, player ring visibility has improved, and you’ll know who initiated a pause. As for Teersa, one of the unlockable playable characters, she’s received improvements to projectile defense and her hold attack.

Check out the full patch notes, complete with known issues, below. LEGO Horizon Adventures is available for PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Head here for our review – we gave it an eight out of ten.

KNOWN ISSUES

We’ve heard our community’s feedback and are already digging into these pesky issues. They’re not quite fixed in this patch, but rest assured, our teams are on the case and giving them the attention they deserve. Thanks for sticking with us!

The ‘Stay Frosty’, ‘Flaming Ninjas!’ and ‘Silent Storm’ Community Challenges do not progress by defeating element afflicted enemies with a non-elemental weapon.
Changing environment colors increments the wrong Community Challenge.
Some machines may spontaneously explode when entering the area (please keep your distance).
Lighting may appear blown out on HDR Steamdeck. To resolve this either disable HDR, or increase the max luminance value to 4500 in the graphics settings.
The game may crash on boot on specific 13th and 14th generation Intel CPUs. To resolve this a BIOS update may be required. More information is available here.
