Why Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered can trigger motion sickness
The game is played from a third-person view that follows Aloy through open country and combat, so the camera is moving most of the time. Sony's list gives you a level for motion blur and a level for camera shake. It also lets you slow the camera by lowering its sensitivity on each axis. On PC, a field of view setting is added, and PCGamingWiki lists its range as -25 to +25.
- Motion blur over a moving camera
- Camera shake, which has an adjustable level
- High camera sensitivity, which makes turns fast

| Motion Blur | Game options > Accessibility | Lower the level, or turn it down to the minimum |
| Camera Shake | Game options > Accessibility | Lower the level |
| Camera's X-Axis Sensitivity and Y-Axis Sensitivity | Game options > Accessibility | Lower both so turns are slower and smoother |
