A substantial new update for God of War Ragnarok has today been released for PS5. Throughout 2024, the latest God of War entry has largely been left untouched by developer Santa Monica Studio. Outside of some one-off patches that made fixes to the Valhalla DLC for GoW Ragnarok, there has been essentially nothing else done with the game. Now, that has finally changed as Santa Monica Studio has brought about a big upgrade to Ragnarok.
As of this moment, update version 6.00 for God of War Ragnarok is up for download on PS5. This patch notably makes GoW Ragnarok compatible with the PS5 Pro, and as a result, improves the game’s visuals without needing to sacrifice performance. Other than this upgrade for PS5 Pro owners, Santa Monica Studio has also enabled players to reduce the number of hints that companions give when solving puzzles. This is a feature that was previously added to the PC version of Ragnarok, but now it has finally come to those on PS5 as well.
