God of War Ragnarök can also be played by blind people, as this streamer proves. This is how the blind player manages to get along in the role-playing game with almost no help.

- God of War Ragnarök is apparently also playable for the completely blind.
- Accessibility in the role-playing game is improved by various settings.
- Contrasts can be increased, there are acoustic signals and navigation aids.
God of War Ragnarök recently took home the Innovation in Accessibility trophy at the Game Awards, and apparently deservedly so, as a blind streamer shows.
The streamer SightlessKombat is not only legally blind (a small residual sight remains), but completely blind and can still play God of War Ragnarök almost independently.
In other titles, the streamer needs a lot of help from the sighted and still often has to press and hold the buttons on the controller to progress in the game, as Sky News reports.
Accessibility settings
In God of War Ragnarök, players with residual vision can increase the contrast and adjust the size of icons, subtitles, and text.
Totally blind players like SightlessKombat can use auto-aim, auto-pickup, audio cues, and other navigational aids.
It’s not possible without help
However, as is clear in the SightlessKombat stream, there is also content for which God of War Ragnarök has not yet had a solution. In this way, the streamer can have another person announce the number of bars.
