God of War Ragnarokfans onPlayStationrejoice: thePS4andPS5versions of the game are finally getting an update that adds an option to reduce the frequency that your companions will give you hints while completing puzzles.

Kratos has never been all brawn and no brain. Puzzles have been an integral part of the God of War series since the start, back in Greece when the Spartan had no companions to advise him. The combat style may have changed, but he’s still a smart man. If anything, he’s only gotten wiser with age.

PC players got this optionback in September, before the PS5 players. Most games on PC and console tend to see PC changes first, so this isn’t out of the ordinary, but it’s good to see the PlayStation versions getting parity now.

There are alsoPS5 Proenhancements for those who have already purchased one. You’ll be able to play with high image quality and maintain a smooth 60fps. If 60 isn’t enough for you, there’s also a high frame rate mode for those with variable refresh rate monitors. The performance mode will also see a boost, thoughthe patch notesdon’t explain what exactly this entails.

Whether you want to replay the game now that it’s getting some changes but you’ve forgotten what to do or you’re jumping in for the first time, check out ourGod of War Ragnarok guidethat will tell you all you need to know.
