Nightmares of Sparta rejoice, because now you can think in peace without your smart son reminding you how smart you are. Latest patch for PS5 version God of War Ragnarok adds the option first seen in the PC port Reducing the boy’s excessive and unwanted prompts while Kratos figures out the game’s many puzzles. Put a sock in it, Atreus.
Game version 06.00 for PlayStation 5 adds “reduced puzzle hints” feature. While Atreus isn’t the title’s only overbearing sidekick, he is Kratos’ most frequent companion in the award-winning game, and thus the most notorious culprit. Activating the option will cancel all of your partners’ rampage hints throughout the game, a feature that players would have loved when Ragnarok arrived two years ago.
An update is also included PS5 Pro improvements like a new “Quality Priority” mode that keeps things running at a smooth 60fps. The patch also allows owners of the new console to unlock framerates when running on variable refresh rate monitors, and the Favor Performance mode is boosted to match the enhanced features of the PS5 Pro. Finally, it adds AI-powered PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution support as an expansion option.
On both PS5 levels, the update also adds a new accessibility option with audio descriptions for all of the game’s cutscenes. You’ll also find necessary bug fixes, including Brock losing his way to the shop in Freyr’s camp (dumb) and issues with crafting hits.
