Horizon Zero Dawn just got a major new feature seven years after its initial release on PS4. Following the release of its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, in 2022, a remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn, aptly called Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, came to PC and PS5 back in October. And this release has given new life to the seven-year-old open-world RPG.

To this end, today Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered got a new update on both PC and PS5 today. The former is the release of Patch 1.04, while the latter is the release of Patch 1.08. While the two updates are different, they both come with a major new feature. More specifically, transmog functionality has been added to the game for the first time. This gives players the ability to apply a different look to Aloy’s armor.
To interact with this new feature — which lets you change the appearance of gear without changing the stats — open the Inventory and go to outfits. From here, select “apply look” on the outfit that you want to be visible while playing the game, and it will transplanted over your current armor, however, you won’t lose the stats of your current armor.
