Horizon: Zero Dawn is crashing during the game’s opening cinematic for some players, Developers are investigating ‘with the highest priority’

While it doesn’t seem to be a widespread issue, several PS4 players have reported a rather nasty bug with Horizon: Zero Dawn. Apparently, the game crashes when the game’s opening cinematic starts up, which Guerrilla Games has been quick to respond to. In a new post on Reddit, the developers said that they are investigating the issue “with the highest priority” and have offered up a workaround in the meantime, albeit an inconvenient one.

It’s worth noting that the workaround is meant specifically for players who own the physical copy of the game. Here it is, per the Reddit post:

It’s not the best workaround I’ve ever heard, but if it’s the only way until a fix is released, it is what it is. Guerrilla Games also notes that you can still view the game’s opening cinematic in the Main Menu of the game. Just go to Extras and then Intro Movie and you’ll be all set.
