Good news if you've been struggling to read menus and on-screen text in God of War, as the latest patch lets you increase text size across the board. Update 1.12 is available to download now, weighing in at just a few hundred MB. The patch notes also mention minor bug fixes.
If you want to change the text size, all you have to do is head into the options menu and take a look at the accessibility options. Right at the bottom, you should find a new slider that lets you adjust text size. Easy peasy.

I see people complain that it's still not big enough lol
Various people have said that the new text size option is broken and doesn't increase anything, could someone confirm this?
The text can be a bit small but on my 55" TV and at the distance I sit, its still legible for me. The menu's can be a bit overwhelming - especially if you are not used to playing RPG's and surprised me just how much depth this added to the game. Fortunately, I play a lot of RPGs so its fine for me but I was still surprised by the menu this game had.
They pushed that out quick
Yeah the menus are a bit awkward. I'm not really bothering customising as much as I could/trying out new moves etc
Noticed this earlier and was struggling a bit in reading some of the text in the upgrade menus. I whacked the text size up to max and although it is not a huge difference it is a bit easier to read now.
“minor big fixes” huh?
@RegularGameFan It was necessary, because the text size was way too small.
This is good news to me because it's the only issue I have with this game.My eyesight isant that great as it is but having to sit so close to my TV and squint just to read text is just annoying.
Excellent that they got the patch out this quick!
Some of the menu tutorial text is hard to read, but the rest is readable but I have to squint to see it perfectly.

Don't know if it's allowed to post, but here's a size comparison. https://kotaku.com/god-of-war-patch-increases-the-text-size-but-its-still-1825451101
I was squinting initially to read text but got used to it pretty fast
I just download the patch this afternoon but it only say "fix various bug", I hope ssm patch "back + x for 180° turn" next.
I can read the text on my 55 4k tv, but it still to small.
I never had an issue with text size but ive got good eyesight and 65 inch tv so no problems here, just not enough time to play.
Thank God (pun intended) the text is so small.
@gh0st--d0wn This patch did nothing for me. Regardless of what I set the slider to, font sizes remain tiny throughout all menus.
A few times I had to get off my couch to read something. I thought it was just me, so guess I'm glad it's not. I didn't really care much though, the game is a masterpiece.
OMG what a game changer, this is the mother of all updates 😂, on a serious note what a game!!!!! Really hope they decide to do some sort of dlc
@gh0st--d0wn Yup, very minor change. I was hoping for me so I could go back to sitting on the couch rather than a chair set three feet from the TV. I have been using the PS4 zoom feature in the meantime for the Codex tab.
An eyepatch.
You know a game's good when text size seems to be the only complaint
I was okay, but I sit about 6 feet away from a 65" TV, so... yeah I think this is a good thing for many.
It's ok on my 14 inch Ferguson black n white, mind you, I do have an ash tray attached to each eye!!!
@ApostateMage lol.
Dam they really didn't increase it that much tho, still dam small on my 55inch about a meter way. So much to complain about with this game tho. . .
@get2sammyb Quick? It's been about 36 hours since the 4th update 1.11, I'd say they're slacking off for the weekend. 😉
Was so excited to see this patch, my wife spent about 15 minutes complaining about it in the car today, but it seems so minor I'm not even going to tell her and see if she notices later, b/c if I tell her and it doesn't do much she's just gonna complain some more.
Yeah, yah all think I'm bad, be thankful she isn't on here. Though she'd be banned in about 2 posts so she wouldn't be around long. 😆
If the text size was such a problem, this option should have been on-disc. But companies don't tend to actually bother testing their games before making the discs anymore, do they?
Or just use the zoom function I've been doing for ages now.
Actually the text is still too small in the shop menu with the dwarves. The menus for lore, map etc seem to be a bit more readable since the patch.
