Get ready to “Boy!” all over again with this generation of consoles because the God of War PS5 update<\/a> is set to go live tomorrow, February 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

God of War got a juicy revamp with Cory Barlog and his team at Santa Monica. Seeing Kratos in his new role as a father was a breath of fresh air for the franchise, taking a beloved series even further with a heartwrenching story and gameplay mechanics to die for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The PlayStation 5 update goes live on Tuesday, February 2, and will be a free download for those that own the game. In a detailed blog over on the official Santa Monica Studios website, a few outliers about the free patch were offered so fans know what to expect before diving in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Players will be able to choose between two options: one option that favors performance versus one option that favors resolution. The update also includes synching to 60 FPS, 4K Checkerboard Resolution, and 2160p.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those that want to play the original God of War (2018) experience on their PS5s, there is an option to do just that with the Original Performance Experience<\/a> selection within the resolution settings. This will keep the 4K Checkerboard Resolution but drops the FPS down to 30, instead of the 60.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s also important to note that a 4K device is required in order to get the optimal 4K experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The God of War PS5 update is a good chance for those that may have missed out on the PS4 journey to join in on the fun, especially with speculation about Ragnorok being such a hot topic in the gaming community<\/a>. Plus, if you haven’t played yet, you can finally join in on all of the “BOY!” memes that I hope never die.\u00a0<\/p>\n
