Horizon Zero Dawn crash fix may be launched with PlayStation Plus March 2017 update:

Horizon Zero Dawn was first launched on PS4, it generated mostly favourable reviews. But the joy soon vanished when users were unable to watch the opening movie when they started the game. The reasons for this were attributed to a bug, and later Guerrilla Games reportedly started coding fix for this crash.

A Guerrilla Games post on Reddit said, “Following up on our message from yesterday, we are aware that a small number of users are suffering a crash during cinematic sequences when playing Horizon: Zero Dawn, most notably in the opening cinematic.” They further said We are investigating the issue with the highest priority and in the meantime, we believe we have a potential, temporary workaround for users that play the game from Blu-ray disc. Please note that these steps may not solve the issue for all the users.”.

The workaround devised by Guerrilla Games, the developer of Horizon Zero Dawn is not that easy. To fix the game, gamers will have to follow the following steps:

Step 1: After you receive the Crash report restart your PS4.

Step 2:  Once your PS4 is initialized, leave the Game Disc in the PS4 for around 2 hours and leave your console idle.

Step 3: After leaving your PS4 idle and on for two hours start the game.

Step 4: Now the opening movie can be viewed by Menu>Extras>Intro Movie.
