God of War developer Santa Monica Studios has given one of the best games to come out of 2018 a significant performance boost, and PS5 owners can check it out today.
The developer announced in a blog post that the free patch will replace the two graphics modes offered in the PS4 Pro version, performance or resolution, with a new default setting that brings the best of both together. Kratos will have never looked so smooth.
