Santa Monica Studio
Has officially released God of War Ragnarok update 6.05, yet no one seems to understand what it brings or even can find patch notes. The update went live on PS5 and PS4, but the developers did not publish any official notes or announcements. Now, fans across the community are left guessing. The unexpected patch comes weeks after a major update accompanying the 20th anniversary of the God of War series. That major patch featured added content and improvements, while this one is more of a mystery.
No patch notes?
What We Have Unlike other major updates that include in-depth changelogs, update 6.05 dropped from the heavens in silence. There's no official blog post, tweet from a developer, or even a note of the game in the news tab. Because of this, the GoW community is having to figure out what changes have gone into effect the hard way, by playing and comparing.
Most probably, this patch includes:
- Enhancements to performance
- Fixes, Improvements, prevention That being said, there is no real confirmation from Santa Monica Studio, just wild speculation.
Is This Typical for God of War Ragnarok?
Pretty much. Background updates like this aren't uncommon. The developers have previously taken the time to make some silent patches related to improving performance in the background, but that's not what made this one unusual; it's that it just occurred after a very public patch, and players were expecting to hear more information, given the previous patch.
Community’s Thoughts
The God of War subreddit threads, community Discord channels, and fan forums are filled with a mix of confusion and excitement. Some fans are hoping this patch is getting players ready for news about future DLC, while others are simply checking out their gameplay to see if they noticed any of the updates. Some comments include:
"I updated and don’t see any difference. What did they fix?”
“I wonder if this is prepping for a stealth drop of some larger announcement soon?”
“It would be nice to get some insight from Santa Monica Studio.”
Will We Learn More Soon?
For now, Santa Monica Studio has made no comment. However, if fans find any meaningful gameplay modifications or some hidden feature, word will get around the community quickly. Until then, God of War Ragnarok update 6.05 is an enigma patch; it may be innocently enhancing the game behind the scenes with no fanfare whatsoever.
Final Thoughts
For now, the only knowns are. If you’re playing God of War Ragnarok, your game now has an update, whether you'll recognise that or not. Keep coming back to see if we can get any definitive updates on what this patch included, and in the meantime, if you find anything new, be sure to leave a comment and help join in finding some of the changes.
