In addition to being embellished with love and laurels from all PS4 users, God of War has now captured the PC market as well. Not only did the title secure the top-selling spot on Steam for three weeks ever since its release but also garnered overwhelming praise from enthusiasts all over the world.
Kratos’ journey across the brutal Norse world that teems with monsters and gods is nothing short of perfect, and now with patch 1.0.9, it will get even better.
Patch 1.0.9 brings many new features to God of War, such as the addition of GPU memory usage in the video settings, an option to reduce micro stutters by enabling triple buffering, and the functionality to shift aim and block to toggle.
Besides the inclusion of new features, Patch 1.0.9 also brings a handful of fixes to address crashes and improve God of War PC’s performance.
The most notable change in this regard is the implementation of small object culling to help reduce the number of objects being processed by the CPU and enhance the game’s performance on AMD setups.
The testing team even went on to say that AMD users will witness an average 20% improvement in frame times above the 95th percentile once this update is up-and-running.
Given that God of War PC has not fallen prey to any game-breaking bug, the willingness from Santa Monica to root out minor bugs is exemplary. Even without this patch, the game was outright exceptional and attracted gamers like bees around a honeypot.
But as it seems, the developers of this prized IP are not going to rest unless fans receive a flawless experience, and perhaps this is why God Of War PC has become the highest-selling PlayStation title on PC.
