Rarely do you hear of these blunders occurring, but gamers won’t waste time in sharing their lucky experiences with the community, especially when it has to do withGod of Warbeing one of Sony’s most popular IPs.
Sony also has gamers’ attention for another reason, thanks to the hype building around the potential new console announcement. Rumors suggestmore information on the PS5 Pro is coming sooner rather than later, and industry insiders previously noted the enhanced console could hit the market as early as late 2024.

PlayStation User Receives Surprise God of War Ragnarok Controller
TheGod of War Ragnarokcontroller was announced back in 2022during one of Sony’s State of Play showcases, and since the Reddit user received this version for free, other PS5 owners were tempted to send their controllers in for repair in the hopes of gaining the same exchange. Other members of the subreddit felt bad for the other gamer, who likely received the original poster’s standard controller and found themselves oneGod of Warcontroller down. Furthermore, the community wondered if the rightful owner of the Limited Edition controller would upload a similar post to the subreddit, allowing each controller to be returned to their rightful owners.
A similar experience happened recently to another gamer who shared their luck with Reddit. AnXbox 360 fan gained the rareNeed for Speed: Most Wanted2005 originalafter ordering the 2012 revival version instead. Once again, the gaming community was amazed by the gamer’s luck, even though morale came into question with the Xbox 360 instance and the PS5 switcheroo.
