Horizon Call of the Mountain developer Guerrilla Games has released their latest batch of patch notes, which fixes several accessibility issues. One of the most prevalent problems that the developers recently addressed involved the slow motion effect that occurred whenever players jumped in the game.

Some fans notably wanted this feature removed as it often took away from the PSVR 2’s immersive experience. Now that this latest update enables you to turn it on and off, leaping from in-game high points will be an even more exhilarating experience. Naturally, there are also a few more changes that have arrived with this patch, which we’ll be going into below.

So without wasting any more of your time, let’s get right into it.
