Ghosts of Sparta rejoice, for you can now think in peace without your smart-
ass son reminding you how slow-witted you are. The latest patch for the PS5
version of God of War Ragnarok adds the option first seen in the PC port to
tone down the boyΓÇÖs excessive and unsolicited hints when Kratos is
contemplating the gameΓÇÖs many puzzles. Stick a sock in it, Atreus.

Game Version 06.00 for PlayStation 5 adds the ΓÇ£reduced puzzle hintsΓÇ¥
feature. Although Atreus isnΓÇÖt the titleΓÇÖs only overly helpful companion,
heΓÇÖs KratosΓÇÖ most frequent comrade in the award-winning game and
therefore the most notorious culprit. Activating the option will pipe down
all of your partnersΓÇÖ excessive hints throughout the game, a feature
players wouldΓÇÖve loved to have had when Ragnarok arrived two years ago.

The update also includes PS5 Pro enhancements, like a new mode that enables
ΓÇ£Favor QualityΓÇ¥ while keeping things running at a smooth 60 fps. The
patch also lets owners of the new console unlock the framerate when running
on variable refresh rate monitors, and the Favor Performance mode gets
boosted to match the PS5 ProΓÇÖs boosted specs. Finally, it adds support for
the AI-fueled PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution as an upscaling option.

On both PS5 tiers, the update also adds a new accessibility option with audio
descriptions for all the gameΓÇÖs cinematic scenes. YouΓÇÖll also find the
requisite bug fixes, including remedies for Brok losing his way to the shop
in FreyrΓÇÖs camp (dumbass) and problems related to crafting hilts.
