Horizon Zero Dawn, the critically acclaimed open-world RPG, has received a significant update seven years after its initial PS4 release. Following the successful launch of its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, in 2022, the remastered version, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, arrived on PC and PS5 last October, breathing new life into the beloved game. This latest update introduces a highly anticipated feature: transmog.
Both PC (Patch 1.04) and PS5 (Patch 1.08) versions of the game now boast the transmog functionality, allowing players to customize Aloy’s appearance without sacrificing the statistical benefits of their equipped armor. This offers a welcome level of personalization for players who prioritize both fashion and function.
How to Use Transmog in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Accessing this new feature is straightforward. Navigate to the “Outfits” section within your Inventory. Select the “Apply Look” option on the outfit you wish Aloy to display. This will overlay the chosen outfit’s appearance onto your currently equipped armor, maintaining the latter’s statistical advantages.
