Sons of Sparta Gets New Update for March 2026

God of War: Sons of Sparta has received a new update that addresses a major bug and improves performance. Developed by Mega Cat Studio in collaboration with Santa Monica Studio, God of War: Sons of Sparta is a Metroidvania action-platformer that’s set in the iconic God of War universe. It follows the story of a young Kratos and his brother Deimos during their training as Spartan cadets. When one of the cadets mysteriously disappears, the brothers decide to step out on a journey to locate him and put their skills to the test.

Despite being a Metroidvania spin-off, the game is making waves in the industry. According to Circana’s video game sales rankings, God of War: Sons of Sparta has managed to outperform titles such as Forza Horizon 5, Ghost of Yotei, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The game secured the 14th spot on the overall chart and debuted at number 6 on the PlayStation-specific chart. The spin-off is clearly a success story, but it’s not without its fair share of issues, particularly performance-related problems and bugs. However, it seems like Mega Cat Studios is now addressing these concerns head-on with its latest update.

God of War Sons of Sparta Claims to Have a 2-Player Co-Op Mode, But Does It Really?

God of War: Sons of Sparta’s official PlayStation Store page listed a 2-player co-op mode, but players can’t find it in the game.

God of War: Sons of Sparta’s Latest Update Fixes a Major Issue

Mega Cat Studios has just released Patch 1.0.0.7 for God of War: Sons of Sparta, and it is now available for players to download. This update is about 2.3 GB in size, and it primarily introduces crucial changes to the save system, as new stability measures have been implemented to eliminate the chances of players experiencing save loss or rollback linked to the screenshot system. In addition, the patch brings various tuning adjustments and quality-of-life improvements to the game. While Mega Cat Studios hasn’t specified all the changes, players can expect enhanced game performance and smoother gameplay mechanics while adventuring through Laconia. As one of the best Metroidvania games on the market, fans are pleased to see this update further improve the overall experience.

The update to the save system in God of War: Sons of Sparta Patch 1.0.0.7 is particularly significant. Ever since the game’s launch, players have been dealing with issues related to saving their progress. Many players across platforms such as Reddit and Twitter have shared that they have lost hours of gameplay, as the game failed to register their progress despite saving. Some players were also dealing with frequent crashes around 14 to 16 hours into the game, causing their progress to roll back to much earlier stages. This issue became a major concern within the community, as players worried that their hard-earned progress could be lost at any time.

Unfortunately, this is not the only issue God of War: Sons of Sparta is currently dealing with. Several players have reported that the game continues to suffer from glitchy hitboxes, crashes, disappearing maps, and instances where they are unable to deal damage to enemies, among other problems. Mega Cat Studios has addressed some of these concerns, including the co-op criticism in God of War: Sons of Sparta, by making the mode accessible from the very start of the game.

That said, players hope the developers will also fix the more serious, game-breaking bugs in future updates. Fans also want to see God of War: Sons of Sparta make its way to PC. However, with reports suggesting that Sony might be pulling back on PC ports, there’s a chance that the game might never make its way to other platforms. Only time will tell what Sony has planned for the future of this Metroidvania title.
