God of War Ragnarok is mere hours away and as players prepare to jump right into the game, they might want to download this update first. The Day 1 patch contains several fixes to do with gameplay, performance, dialogue, and cinematics. However, those looking to avoid spoilers might want to skip reading these patch notes as they contain names of Quests, Creatures, and Abilities.

Day 1 patches are fairly common in gaming and aren’t really indicative of a half-baked launch by any stretch of the imagination. Given the scale, size, and scope of Ragnarok, it is a surprise that the patch is only about 1GB in size. So, they shouldn’t be a big download for most players.

To download the patch, simply press the Options button while hovering over God of War Ragnarok on your PlayStation 4/5 Home and select “Check for Updates” to download God of War Ragnarok (v. 02.00). The game is currently still available for pre-order and those who have pre-ordered the game will be able to play it at midnight tonight.
