You know what they say, "A patch a day keeps the bugs away". Well, no one says that, but you've got to imagine the folks at Santa Monica Studio have been chanting this 24/7 since the release of God of War.
Patch 1.17 updates the stellar PS4 exclusive yet again with the same vague note, "Various bug fixes and improvements". Apparently, version 1.16 was causing issues with HDR for some players, and others had reported some audio skipping. We've still yet to encounter anything like this, but hopefully this new patch fixes any outstanding problems some have noticed.
It's another small download, so get God of War up to scratch and carry on hacking and slashing your way through Midgard. Are you happy with all these updates, or are they more annoying than helpful? Try not to use Spartan Rage in the comments below.

You should make an article about ghe secret you can get from the map you get in the collector's edition
Dang, too much patches
GIRL!
I've yet to actually start playing properly so by the time I do, this game should be dang near perfection 😂
@daveofduncan It was already fine, I've no idea what they're even altering.
God Of Patches.
@DLB3 There is! Press triangle in the menu to access Options, go to Settings, then Video, then Screen Calibration. In there you can enable or disable HDR and adjust the brightness
@ShadowWarrior This is the Internet, you have to wite it like this:
#GodofPatches
😉
@Quintumply While you were obviously going through the settings with a fine tooth comb did you happen to come across time played? I think I'm about 15 hours in. I say think b/c keeping track of time playing this game is like Kratos keeping track of time in the bifrost. 😉
@rjejr No, sorry.
At least the devs are staying on top of the reported problems by patching them right away.
I haven't experienced any problems so far in my playthrough.
If only other devs were this quick at bug fixing cough Bethesda cough.
@adf86 Skyrim still waiting for the fixes with Skyrim with the remaster and even on the Switch they did not fix it 😂 🤣 😥😓
The only "bug" ive noticed in my playtime was one time Atreus was stuck running into a rock, but as soon as i climbed something he was right back on my back, other than that i havnt noticed any other glitches
@Mosquito8991 I had that one too. Just running into the rock without deviating from his path. I kept thinking "you are not ready".
@PS4fan don't start complaining
is it just me or is kratos saying boy less after like 1.16? probably just me being crazy tbh
My god of war is now as stable as my emm... 3ds.
@rjejr I'd hate to see how long I've played it for. Don't even dare look. Done a big chunk of the story, or so I believe and been just boating it about doing sidies and just exploring. If my clock said anything u dear 25 I would be shocked. Feels alot longer.
I had a glitch where a button prompt wouldn't change back from a padlock icon, so I was stuck on a stationary elevator. Had to close application and reload for it to work.
@Kidfunkadelic83 But I want to know. I need to know. But they wont' tell us. You know, Sony fanbois are always mocking Ntinedo for not having trophies, but at least I can track how often and for how long I play my games, which is more important to me b/c I'm weird. I've taken to writing it down on paper. Not very accurate, a lot of rounding to whole hours, but at least it gives me a rough idea. And my rough idea still says 50 hours won't be a problem to reach.
@vlady it's a magnificent game. I wasn't taken to it at first. It felt too different from what I was expecting and didn't seem to change. Then I hit the lake and it all opened up and now it's gone to one of the best games I've ever had the pleasure to play. It's a true marvel. Makes me want to play the last of us again as I gave up on that after a few hours.
