Since the recent buzz surrounding Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro, players are super thrilled to learn that God of War Ragnarok is also set to receive various enhancements tailored for the new console. This beloved title has already captivated audiences with its gripping narrative and stunning visuals. The prospect of it taking advantage of the advanced capabilities of the PS5 Pro is making players excited.
However, as fans process this exciting news, one thing is looming over their minds. The question about why Sony didn’t announce the game’s enhancements during the PS5 Pro presentation, which was just a month ago. The absence of even a small mention of Ragnarok’s enhanced version is raising eyebrows. If this was an oversight, it is a significant one, especially given the game’s stature.
Sony’s unveiling of the PS5 Pro was a highly anticipated event. It promised gamers that the new console would bring cutting-edge technology and various exclusive titles, especially further enhancements of existing titles for this hardware. Gamers were expecting a lineup of enhanced experiences and they got it. Sony announced enhanced versions of beloved titles like Alan Wake 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Forbidden West, and many more.
However, there was no mention of the blockbuster franchises like God of War. Despite the absence of any mention regarding Ragnarök’s enhanced version, the game has now been tagged for improvements on its storefront, leaving many scratching their heads.

Given that the decision to enhance God of War Ragnarok for the PS5 Pro was likely made well in advance of the recent announcement of the new console (Pro was announced on September 10), the omission of the title raises eyebrows. The game is a significant title for Sony, and its absence from the showcase feels like a very big missed opportunity.
The development process for enhancing a game is a simple task, it takes time and is a very complex process. While the Pro version of the console was just revealed, enhancements for Ragnarok must be in the works for some time (if the tag is real and not a mistake). With such a short timeframe between the console’s announcement and the tagging of Ragnarok, many wonder if there were internal decisions that influenced the marketing strategy.
One theory is that Sony opted to keep Ragnarok under wraps to maintain focus on the new console’s capabilities, as the game was not fully optimized then. However, this doesn’t make sense, as an enhanced tag was added suddenly without any official announcement or a trailer.
Players are waiting for Sony to explain the situation (perhaps they added the tag by mistake) or make some kind of announcement for the God of War series. During this waiting period, gamers are excited about the enhanced version of Ragnarok and are wondering what improvements will be implemented.
Many speculations are going around, but the most probable and likely improvements include the addition of ray tracing, higher resolutions, or faster load times. The game already has stunning visuals and a gripping narrative, and with these enhancements, it could elevate an already acclaimed experience to new heights.
Even though the price tag of $700 is a huge roadblock hindering players’ excitement for the PS5 Pro, they are excited to see all the games receiving an enhanced version, which will make their gameplay experience even more immersive and engaging.
In the end, whether it was a strategic decision or an oversight, not showcasing or announcing God of War Ragnarok‘s enhanced version was a huge missed opportunity for the company. For now, gamers are hoping the tag is true and are ready to dive into the enhanced battles with Kratos and Atreus.
