One of the most anticipated video games of 2022, the soon-to-be-released game has the second-highest rating for 2022 games and is a contender for this year’s Game of the Year award. To ensure it is in perfect condition for gameplay, the development team has released the necessary fixes for its bugs, glitches, and design errors. Players should know these patch notes aren’t required to play the game. But, Santa Monica Studio studio advised players to download and install the patch for a better experience. In its words, “We strongly encourage you to download this patch to ensure you have the best possible experience when you play on Nov. 9!” The patch features more than 160 fixes and upgrades the game to version 02.00, which comes with a slew of improvements to the dialogue, cinematics, quests, and so much more. The primary bugs in the video game include annoying or confusing moments where the final boss failed to appear on cue or where the game crashes while loading a save file. Also, major fixes include a more stable frame rate, improved companion behavior and in-game compass, and reduced crash frequency, among others. A third-person action-adventure video game, God of War Ragnarök is the ninth installment in the God of War franchise and the second and final game in Kratos’ romp through Norse mythology. The game picks up on the events of the original God of War, taking place three years after the 2018 game. God of War Ragnarök will launch on November 9 exclusively on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. It is the first cross-gen entry in the series. Unfortunately, while it will run well on the PlayStation 4, it will also put a strain on the older console thereby making it very loud. Meanwhile, we have provided some of the fixes in the patch notes below. These fixes contain spoilers and we recommend you stop reading if you don’t want spoilers.
