God of War Ragnarok fans on PlayStation rejoice: the PS4 And PS5 versions of the game are finally getting an update that adds an option to reduce the frequency with which your companions give you hints while completing puzzles.
Developer Sony Santa Monica announced the news yesterday, November 7, 2024, via a tweet. When the game launched, it received a lot of critical and fan acclaim, but one feature many people agreed it was annoying was how often Kratos’ companions gave him unsolicited hints while completing puzzles.
Kratos has never been all brawn and no brains. Puzzles have been an integral part of the God of War series since the beginning, when the Spartan in Greece had no companions to advise him. The fighting style may have changed, but he’s still a smart man. In any case, he has only become wiser with age.
PC players have this option back in September, before the PS5 players. Most games on PC and console see PC changes first, so this isn’t unusual, but it’s good to see that the PlayStation versions are now getting parity.
While this is definitely my favorite part of the update, it’s not the only feature included. New audio descriptions make the game’s cinematics more accessible. However, this feature won’t be coming to the wider gameplay.
There are also PS5Pro improvements for those who have already purchased one. You can play with high image quality and maintain a smooth 60 fps. If 60 isn’t enough for you, there’s also a high frame rate mode for those with variable refresh rate monitors. However, performance mode will also get a boost the patch notes don’t explain what exactly this means.
