God of War Ragnarok Gets Power Saving Mode Support. Is the Game Being Prepared for PS6?
Santa Monica unexpectedly released update 06.06 for God of War Ragnarok on January 15, 2026. It doesn't add story content or gameplay changes, but introduces an important technical feature - full compatibility with power saving mode on PS5 and PS5 Pro.
The activated profile is confirmed by a leaf icon on the game tile in the console menu.
Although the feature appeared after Sony's firmware update in September, it immediately attracted the attention of analysts. Power Saver mode reduces power consumption without significantly degrading image quality. Currently, support is only available for select projects from Sony's internal studios, indicating the preparation of major games for future platforms.
Of particular interest is the rumor of a next-generation portable console (PS6) capable of running PS4 and PS5 games. In this context, optimizing power consumption becomes critical for long-lasting battery life.
