The popular video game God of War Ragnarok, released in November 2022, has received a new update, version 4.02, which is now available on PlayStation consoles. The update addresses several issues present in the game, including bugs and other problems that have been affecting players since its launch.
Developed by Santa Monica Studio, God of War Ragnarok has been a massive hit for PlayStation, with over 11 million copies sold within the first three months of its release. The developer has been releasing regular updates to the game, with one of the significant updates adding a New Game+ mode, which introduced additional armor sets, an increased level cap, new enchantments, and changes to endgame bosses.
The latest update, 4.02, brings a range of bug fixes across different areas of the game, including audio, combat, UI, and trophies. Most of the fixes focus on equipment, with some players reporting that they were unable to upgrade certain pieces of equipment past level 9, while others experienced crashes while playing the game.
Some of the notable fixes that the update addresses include a bug that caused players to not receive a Gilded Coin when upgrading a shield, which the update now retroactively grants to affected players via the Lost Items Chest. Another bug caused players to get booted to the main menu after loading a PS5 save created after importing a PS4 New Game+ save, which the update shares a workaround for.
Many of the bugs that the update fixes were introduced with the New Game+ update, which was launched earlier this year, and the update also makes some adjustments that are exclusive to the PS4 version of the game. The patch notes for the update provide details of the various fixes made in the different departments.
Overall, the new update for God of War Ragnarok, version 4.02, is expected to improve players’ experience by fixing several issues that have been present since the game’s launch. As the developer continues to listen to the players and address any issues, it is hoped that the game will continue to provide a great gaming experience for its fans.
