Play Horizon Zero Dawn in the cloud
Want to play Horizon Zero Dawn but don't have a gaming PC? Rent a cloud rig by the hour, install Horizon Zero Dawn with your own Steam account, and play it from any browser.
Horizon Zero Dawn runs beautifully on a rented RigRentals rig. Because it's a single-player title, it works great through our built-in launcher — you sign in with your own Steam account, it installs, and you play. No gaming hardware of your own required.
The RTX 4090 rig at $2.00/hr is our recommended tier for Horizon Zero Dawn — it delivers high-end 1440p/4K gaming with ray tracing and DLSS.
What Horizon Zero Dawn needs on a rented rig
Horizon Zero Dawn needs about 100 GB of extra storage on top of the included 50 GB. 2 hours on an RTX 4090 rig at $2.00/hr plus 100 GB of storage at $0.007/GB comes to $4.70.
