First up is New Game+,with this you will be able to relive the adventures of Aloy without losing your character progression and your collected inventory. You won’t be able to progress beyond the level cap of 50, but you can still collect XP during your adventure.

However if you think the game was too easy, you can now play the game in the all new Ultra Hard difficulty. Before embarking on a new quest you can manually adjust the difficulty level to your liking. This new setting will enhance machine senses and behavior and will limit player health regen and other additional smaller tweaks. Players who decide to embark on the Ultra Hard path will not have the option to switch it to a less difficult setting.

Finally, some other changes have been introduced, such as adding updated versions of existing weapons and outfits with an extra modification slot at your disposal. These will not come cheap and will set you back some extra shards.
