PS5 console exclusive God of War Ragnarok has surprise dropped a new update to add support for the console’s latest feature. It took Santa Monica Studio longer than we expected to roll out support for PS5’s Power Saver function, but it’s finally here.
PS5 exclusive God of War Ragnarok adds Power Saver mode in January 2026 update
God of War Ragnarok update 06.06 “adds compatibility for Power Saver mode on PS5 and PS5 Pro,” the patch notes read. It doesn’t look like the update does anything else.
If your God of War Ragnarok game tile on PS5 displays an icon that looks like a little leaf, then the aforementioned update has been applied.
The Power Saver mode was rolled out in a firmware update last September with the aim of reducing PS5’s power consumption while playing games. The list of games that support the feature is still tiny and understandably dominated by first-party games.
It has been reported that this feature is preparing PS5 games for an upcoming PlayStation handheld that will be part of the PS6 generation. Reliable insiders have said that the handheld will run both PS5 and PS4 games.
As a reminder, you can enable the Power Saver function via the PS5 system menu by following these steps: Go to Settings > System > Power Saving > Use Power Saver.
