How to change difficulty settings in God of War Ragnarok

If you have selected a very easy difficulty and are getting bored with it, then you must be thinking of increasing its level to get an enhanced experience. And if you have chosen a higher difficulty level than your capability of performing, you might want to decrease its level. Whatever the case may be, you will have to go to the in-game Settings > Gameplay > Challenge Level> Difficulty and then choose the difficulty as per your preference.
However, you must note that you cannot repeatedly choose the difficulty level “Give me God of War” in the middle of your journey. It can only be selected once when you are beginning the journey from scratch. If you wish to lower it, then you have to start from the last saved checkpoint, and after this, you won’t be able to switch back to the GMGOW difficulty mode. So, it is for the best that you complete the game in the easiest difficulty mode first and then go for the hardest difficulty. That way, you can enjoy the story in peace and then start your second playthrough to bash your controller while fighting bosses that are extremely powerful. So, this was how you can change difficulty settings in God of War Ragnarok. If you found this article helpful, share it with your friends.
