God of War Ragnarök News

Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2, and more PlayStation titles have been freed from their region lock prison on PC

Sony have been making a lot of mistakes over the past couple of years, including things like mistakenly thinking they could release 12 live service games by 2026, but the more immediately annoying one is its whole PSN thing. I probably don't need to remind you of that whole Helldivers 2 fiasco, where they tried to make logging into a PSN a requirement for those on PC and later scrapped this because it went down horrendously. However, there has been one other snag that came with all this PSN nonsense: region locking.

PlayStation's bigwigs are content to stick with their current approach to multiplatform releases for now, making it unlikely we're going to see a sudden switch to day-and-date PC ports of Sony's big single-player games anytime soon.

SlayPtation have been bringing their studios' multiplayer and live-service games to PC at release for a while now, it making sense with the likes of Helldivers 2 and, er, Concord, to try and ensure the maximum potential player base possible right out of the gate. On the other hand, for single player stuff like God of War Ragnarok and Ghost of Tsushima they've been content to wait a year to bring over to the other video game boxes.

NVIDIAStreamlineOTAUpdates=On     ; Values: Off, On

When NVIDIAStreamlineLog enabled, a log file in the Save Game directory will be generated and overwritten every launch. If encountering errors, please submit a support ticket including this log.

Update the PlayStation Overlay runtime installers to version 4.00

Black Screen Launch Issue Hotfix

An NVIDIA Driver Crash/Soft Lock that prevents the game from loading is under investigation. In the meantime, we've implemented a work around for the cause of the crash to change how shader compilation works. This change may cause some micro-stuttering during initial load, but will hopefully avoid the driver crash that prevents game from starting.

Please verify files after patching.
