Sony Santa Monica Studio continues adding replay value to God of War Ragnarök, particularly with the recently revealed Valhalla DLC that adds roguelite flavor to the 2022 third-person action-adventure game.
As part of Patch 05.01, the new update rolls out the free new Valhalla DLC. As Santa Monica Studio mentions in the patch notes, players will need to head to the PlayStation Store and download the God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla DLC, as it will not be automatically downloaded into the patch. Of course, you still need to download Patch 05.01 to play the DLC.
Santa Monica Studio also says in the patch notes that the player will encounter an endless loading screen if you install the Valhalla DLC before installing God of War: Ragnarök. To avoid this, install the base game first before trying to download and access the Valhalla content.
Patch 05.01 includes a few minor updates to the base game, which you can check out below.

“God of War Ragnarok is an almighty achievement and creates a new high that makes many of its peers look mortal by comparison,” my colleague Simon Cardy wrote in his 10/10 review of God of War Ragnarök.
