The highly praised and profitable game titled God of War Ragnarok for PlayStation was notably missing from the initial list of PS5 Pro-enhanced games, leaving fans curious.

With the release of the PS5 Pro, Santa Monica Studio has released update v.06.00 for God of War Ragnarok, showcasing improvements tailored for the more powerful mid-generation console. The main feature is a customized PS5 Pro Enhanced Mode within God of War Ragnarok, which activates the Favor Quality visual settings while aiming for a smooth 60fps, effectively doubling the performance compared to the base PS5’s quality mode running at 30fps.

In addition, there’s a High Frame Rate mode that allows the game to run at up to 120 frames per second on displays with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology. Furthermore, players using the PS5 Pro can choose between PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution and the previous Temporal Anti-Aliasing method for resolution enhancement.

Many players of the game “God of War Ragnarok” expressed displeasure over the constant puzzle suggestions. Fortunately, Santa Monica Studio has addressed this feedback effectively by offering substantial solutions. The upgraded features for “God of War Ragnarok” on PS5 Pro seem robust and consistent with the console’s performance promises, even though some ray tracing effects would have added more visual flair to highlight the game’s impressive artistic direction.
