“God of War,” a game released in 2018, is getting a free update so players can enjoy it while taking advantage of the specs upgrades available on PlayStation 5. Luckily, the patch for the PS5 enhancement is free.
‘God of War’ gets a free patch with PS5 enhancements
The latest installment of the “God of War” franchise was one of the best-received games in recent years by both critics and in the market. It is then not surprising that Sony and developer Santa Monica Studio is making sure “God of War” can be played with the most advanced PlayStation console ever.
The good news is “God of War” players do not have to wait a long time for the PS5 enhancement to go live after it was announced. A patch containing the new graphics mode will be released Tuesday, Feb. 2. Since it will not require any additional payment, gamers just have to make sure their game is connected to the internet to receive the update.
In a blog post, Santa Monica Studio recalls that “God of War” players had to choose between two graphics modes that favor performance or gaming resolution when using PS4 Pro. The PS5 enhancement patch removes that barrier and will introduce a default setting that allows fans to play the game without compromising performance or resolution.
The PS5 enhancement makes “God of War” automatically play with 60 FPS framerate in 4K checkerboard resolution at 2160p. Of course, a monitor that supports 4K resolution is needed to see these changes at work.
If for some reason, a PS5 player does not want (or need) to maximize their console’s capabilities, they can still go back to the PS4 “Favor Resolution” graphics mode. It translates to 4K checkerboard resolution running at 30 FPS.
‘God of War’ is somewhat free for PS5 players who don’t have it
“God of War” has been playable on the PS5 console through backward compatibility if the gamer has bought the 2018 game. However, there is a way to get the game at practically a giveaway price. All a player needs is a PS Plus subscription.
Sony launched the PS Plus Collection on the same day PS5 came out last November. Without additional cost, console owners can have unlimited access to games like “God of War,” “The Last of Us Remastered,” “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End,” “Resident Evil 7 biohazard,” “Monster Hunter: World,” “Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy,” and more. PS5 users who have not purchased games included in the collection will just have to maintain their PS Plus subscription to keep playing these games on the new-gen consoles.
