Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered on PS5 has received a patch adding support for the console's Power Saver mode, a setting that reduces visual quality to lower electricity consumption. While largely inconsequential for current PS5 owners, the addition is believed to be laying groundwork for the next PlayStation generation, with rumours pointing to a PS6 handheld device capable of running PS5 titles natively.

The Power Saver mode is thought to help scale PS5 games down for lower-powered handheld hardware ahead of the rumoured device's launch, joining other titles such as God of War Ragnarok, Demon's Souls, both Death Stranding games, and Ghost of Yotei that already support the feature. The patch is numbered 1.09, though Sony has not confirmed any direct link to future hardware, and both the PS6 and its handheld remain unannounced, with no confirmed release date or pricing.
