Just in time for my new playthrough, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was updated to version 1.4 today bringing with it plenty of improvements and it should work better for Steam Deck / gamepad controller players.
For the controller support they made it so Steam Input now functions correctly if a controller is connected after launching the game, and controllers connected to a Steam Deck now work as intended when using Steam Remote Play. The latter is good, because that's exactly how I was trying to play it recently and my controller was acting a bit oddly. If you're using AMD FSR or Intel XeSS for upscaling, they've also improved it to reduce ghosting on snow particles.
