The main focus of the upcoming patch for the PlayStation 4 exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn, is going to be a new Photo Mode. It does precisely what it says on the tin – allows you to take picturesque photos within the game and make them into greeting cards. I want to be cynical about this, but I just can't. Upon thinking it through, this is a great idea and I wish more games did this.
Apart from that, the patch will fix a bunch of quest triggers and squash some bugs. The full changelog is quite long, so here are the Feature Improvements, to get you started:
