Horizon Forbidden West uses the Decima Engine, which was also used by the first title, Horizon Zero Dawn. Another famous game using that engine is Death Stranding. While the engine lacks support for ray tracing, it still supports DirectX 12 and uses modern rendering techniques to enhance visual fidelity and overall performance.

In terms of upscalers you get support for NVIDIA DLSS 2 Super Resolution, DLAA and DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Also supported is AMD FSR 2 Super Resolution, but FSR 3 Frame Generation isn't included. Intel XeSS Super Resolution is available, and the game uses Microsoft's DirectStorage to load its game assets from disk efficiently.
