God of War: Ragnarok releases on the 9th of November, and already, the game has a day one patch that the developer \u2018strongly encourages\u2019 to download. Santa Monica Studio released the detailed day one patch<\/strong> ahead of the game\u2019s highly-anticipated launch, and the update is quite extensive. Included in the update are almost 200 fixes to the unreleased game. <\/p>\n\n\n

These fixes extend to gameplay, cinematics, performance, dialogue, UI, and many more. The dialogue adjustments<\/strong> are the most compelling as the developers say they \u2018make conversations sound more natural.\u2019 The game has also gained a much more stable frame rate, and the instances of crashing have been drastically reduced. The team also issued a fix aimed at PS5 players, which adds \u2018additional tuning and coverage for DualSense controller haptics.\u2019 Having extra support for peripherals is never a bad thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day one patches sometimes create the impression<\/strong> that a game isn\u2019t as good as it could be upon launch. In reality, day-one patches have come to represent a method that developers use to ensure the quality of their product. In the case of God of War: Ragnarok, there doesn\u2019t seem to have been anything game-breaking about the title. These are primarily fixes that ultimately make the game more realistic and result in a more natural and organic type of gameplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll likely have heard the term zero-day patch<\/strong> as well. This is something completely different, and we usually use this terminology when we talk about software giants like Microsoft or Alphabet. Zero-day patches are fixes issued to combat the situation that arises when vulnerabilities are leaked or exploited before the vendor in charge has been able to issue a patch that repairs the flaw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zero-day patches often cost companies millions, while day-one patches are issued before a piece of software even hits the shelf, thereby offsetting the likelihood that the flaw will be exploited or even be present when the software launches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve written quite a good deal about this game at this point. Earlier this week, we even wrote a piece about what the critics have said about God of War: Ragnarok<\/a>. Once you\u2019ve read the comments, why not read our dynamite tactics to survive?<\/p>\n\n\n
