Players can finally tell Kratos' son Atreus to shut the heck up, as first reported by Kotaku. In the original release, Atreus was like Ocarina of Time's Navi on Adderall. He was, in a word, talkative. Many players complained that he tended to ruin puzzle solutions by offering up hints unprompted, even when they weren't attempting a puzzle. The addition of a mute option is a clear response to this feedback, aiming to enhance player experience.
The PC port also brings some other features to the table, including audio descriptions for the game's cinematics and a set of streamer gifs to use on Twitch or YouTube. This adds a layer of accessibility for players who may need additional support while enjoying the cinematics, as well as a fun way for streamers to connect with their audience.
Of course, the port integrates with both NVIDIA and AMD's upscaling tools, with support for ultrawide monitors, allowing players to experience the game as intended, with an incredibly immersive 32:9 aspect ratio. This makes the game visually stunning, particularly for players using high-end PC setups.
However, the port comes with a hefty install size, requiring between 175GB to 190GB of hard drive space. Players are advised to start the download early, as the required PC specs are quite demanding. Performance on the Steam Deck is reported to be underwhelming, only running at 30FPS on the lowest settings.
