The full patch notes are incredibly slim, but there's a good chance a lot of the tweaks are behind the scenes.
- Added fixes for crashing and freezing issues with God Of War 1.34.
- Added fixes for stuttering and lag issues.
- God Of War 1.34 added various performance and stability improvements.
In case you're wondering, God of War 3 Remastered also got a patch.
It makes sense for Sony to try and bring as many of the franchise's titles forward as possible in the leadup to God of War: Ragnarok, slated for 2021.
Check out the teaser below:
While fans are undoubtedly disappointed that Kratos' first and second adventures didn't make it to PS4, having God of War 3 is a great way to introduce yourself to the series' prior gameplay.
It originally launched in 2010 (has it already been a decade?) and the re-release launched in 2015.
