God of War Ragnarok reviews have praised the game’s story as one of the best things about it, so it can be devastating for fans to have that story spoiled for them. A common strategy to avoid spoilers whenever a big new release comes out is to stay off social media for a while, but unfortunately, some PlayStation gamers are getting spoiled by their own video game consoles.

As reported by Push Square, PlayStation consoles sometimes display random YouTube videos for specific games in places like the PS5’s Explore tab. YouTube videos are notorious for having spoilers in their titles and thumbnails, and as a result, some God of War fans have gotten God of War Ragnarok spoilers by simply using their consoles. This would be frustrating, to say the least, especially for players who have managed to avoid God of War Ragnarok spoilers so far.
It’s unclear if Sony will be making changes to how content is curated for big games in the wake of this. It’s also unclear how many players have been impacted by the problem. Many may make a beeline straight to whatever game they want to play and completely ignore things like the PS5’s Explore tab, and so it hasn’t impacted them. However, it’s safe to say there are those who have had some of God of War Ragnarok’s biggest story developments ruined for them because of this.
Fans who are worried about getting God of War Ragnarok spoilers and want to get through the game as fast as possible to avoid them should note that it takes an average of 20 to 25 hours or so to beat the main story while ignoring side content. However, God of War Ragnarok’s side quests have been highly praised, so it would be a shame to miss out on it.
Over the last few years, Sony has especially been the victim of spoilers ruining the plots of its games. Prior to the God of War Ragnarok leaks, The Last of Us 2 story leaked online, revealing that game’s biggest plot twists and causing a massive backlash from fans who were upset about how things went down. It’s hard to say how fans would have reacted to The Last of Us 2 story had it not been spoiled for them, but we’ll never know.
God of War Ragnarok is available now for PS4 and PS5.
