Developer Guerrilla Games has released patch notes for their newest update for its hit PlayStation 4 exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn.  The update, which is now available for download, introduces several bug fixes to the game, along with two highly anticipated features to the game.  The star inclusion in this patch is the ability to listen to your own music while playing the game.  If you’ve ever wanted to listen to death metal, a symphony orchestra, or both (we won’t judge) while Aloy hunts dangerous robot dinosaurs, this patch is for you.

The latest Horizon Zero Dawn update also adds the ability to drop treasure boxes.  Treasure boxes can potentially be troublesome to get rid of if the player already has a full stack of a material found in a box.  Now, players can simply drop the treasure box and move on.  Check below for a full list of the patch notes for Horizon Zero Dawn update 1.13.  As usual, Horizon Zero Dawn update notes tend to include quest names that have potential spoilers within them, so please proceed with caution.
