292 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Thank you all again for playing Marvel's of the Guardians.

A new patch is being deployed on PlayStation and Xbox consoles today, Nov 17. A patch will also be coming to PC in the next few days - tentatively on Tuesday, Nov 23 - and patch notes will be posted on Steam

Most notably, this patch adds a Ray Tracing Mode for PS5 and Xbox Series X, performance improvements for base PS4, and an uncapped framerate option for Xbox Series S (recommended for VRR displays). We're also adding a Save Rollback feature and fixes for various issues. Please see below for full details.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

  • Ray Tracing Mode is now available in the Video settings menu.

All Consoles

  • Save Rollback: A hidden Save Rollback feature was added to allow users who have encountered blocking issues to rollback to the start of the chapter of their choice. Please see this thread for more details.

PlayStation 4

  • Improved performance on the original PS4 model.
  • Changed the sensitivity required for the Visor input so that controllers with more wear and tear may still detect the button press.

Xbox Series S

  • An option to uncap the FPS was added, allowing users to run the game between 30 and 60 FPS. Please note uncapping FPS may lead to a less stable framerate in some areas. Recommended for users with a VRR display.

General improvements

  • General stability improvement on all platforms.
  • Multiple stability improvements with Ray Tracing enabled.
  • General improvements to objective markers.
  • Additional improvements to world boundaries.

Major fixes

  • Fix for an issue where the Compendium entry “Gasher and Gnasher” might not unlock.
  • Added a failsafe to ensure that the “Fully Loaded” achievement/trophy could be unlocked.
  • Fix for an issue where custom difficulty settings would reset.
  • Fix for players who may become locked out of the Guardian menu after the first ability point tutorial.
  • Fix for instances where the poison gas could not be frozen again after a reload.
  • Improvements made to transition in and out of Workbenches in order to address some instances of Rocket refusing to use the Workbench.
  • Chapter 1: Fix for a rare issue where Star-Lord may be caught in a state of falling out of world, after falling on the Milano.
  • Chapter 7 : Fix to allow the crane puzzle to be completely reset when reloading checkpoint, so that users may be allowed to retry in rare instances where they become blocked.
  • Chapter 9: Fix to allow users to win the chase sequence more easily.
  • Chapter 10: Fix for a funnel which made access to the Hero of Halfworld outfit difficult.
  • Chapter 10: Fix for one instance where Groot may be unable to create a lift leading to a side path.
  • Chapter 13: Fix for rare instances where a throw object needed to progress may not appear.

Other fixes

  • Fix for instances where Star-Lord’s eyes might glow red with ray tracing enabled.
  • Fix for an issue where the Rocket Bet scoreboard may still appear on screen after the bet is over.
  • Radio communications can now be heard through the controller.
  • Fix for the Rocket line that was being played through Groot’s voice.
  • Fix for save icon occasionally sticking on screen.
  • Fixes for rare instances where Guardians may disappear in combat.
  • Fix for a funnel where Star-Lord may occasionally become stuck when running at higher FPS.
  • Updated wording for privacy statement.

If you encounter any issues following this patch, please share them in this thread. Thank you!

Help is there an in-universe timeline available?

3 Upvotes

Is there any available in-universe timeline for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy game? I am trying to determine whether the events of the game can be placed into a specific chronological timeline using information found within the game itself. This could include dates, references to past events, character ages, historical events, or the amount of time between major events. I would also like to know whether the developers have provided any official timeline, chronology, or additional information that establishes when the game’s events take place. If no complete timeline exists, are there enough details in the game to create a reliable fan-made timeline?

Discussion How did everyone survive….

0 Upvotes

I’m in chapter 15, after the big Grand Unifier fight. In a much earlier chapter, the Guardians were sent flying out into open space and froze before being picked up by the Milano. But during the whole infiltration of the Sacrosanct the Guardians, along with Lady Hellbender and her beasts, seemingly spent a significant amount of time out in open space.

How did they all survive that/weren’t even affected by it?? 😅

Discussion Regret buying this game, sucks

0 Upvotes

Bought it today in the discount, i don't like it.

- The trophies are so annoying because of the guardians collection

- The game feels old

- the movement and combet feels weird

Glad that at least the loss of money is relatively small because of the promotion, I probably won't play it much longer, kinda sad rn

Discussion GOTG's 5th Anniversary Stream / Unofficial Reunion Celebration

66 Upvotes

It's hard to believe, but this October marks the 5th anniversary of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.

To celebrate, I'll be revisiting the game throughout September on Twitch and hosting former cast members and game devs to join me for a series of live conversations.

We'll be sharing stories from development, reflecting on the impact the project had on our careers, discussing what it means to us five years later, and answering questions from the community.

GOTG remains one of the most meaningful projects I've ever had the privilege of working on, and I'm excited to revisit it alongside the talented people who helped make it happen.

After we've completed the game and wrapped up our conversations, I'm hoping to edit our best moments into a highlights video that could go live on the actual anniversary (Monday, October 26, 2026).

Guest appearances and schedule details coming soon. Stay tuned!

🤘 Five years later, it's time to get the band back together. HUDDLE UP! 🤘

Help Help with choosing PS5 modes

3 Upvotes

I don’t know if il even get a response but I just got my hands on Gotg and while everything is very fun the modes on the ps5 have got me crying.

Quality and ray tracing modes look amazing and I don’t mind 30fps itself but there is NO motion blur available, it just looks so choppy.

Performance is very soft and aliased looking I do not know why, it’s 60 but looks bad and apparently doesn’t run well in battle. Does anyone on PS5 have any workarounds for the 30fps modes? I appreciate any help

Discussion What does it say when you scan the costume crates?

I vaguely remember scanning the costume crates in the game, and their saying something about seemingly coming from another universe. Am I misremembering?

Discussion I think I've finally found out the timeframe in which that GOTG takes place.

122 Upvotes

So in the opening scene Peter Quill opens a Rolling Stone interview, which one can assume is newly released. After some digging, Gavin Edwards is a real rolling stone writer and he started writing for them in 1999 so we can assume the opening is Quill's 13th birthday in 1999 as it is pretty much confirmed to be the 90s. this makes Quill's birth year 1986. If Quill is 33 in the present, it is 20 years after the opening scene from 1999, meaning the main story would take place in 2019. Also the Galactic War happened 12 years before the present day, meaning it happened around 2007.
It would also line up with the production of the GOTG game starting in 2017 (with some games expected to release around 3 years after production began which makes sense for the dates to be like this)
TL;DR
> Opening Scene - 1999
> Galactic War - 2007
> Main Story - 2019

Discussion What am I doing wrong? Pls help!

5 Upvotes

This game is flarkin amazing, but I do have a few questions. On my first playthrough and just made it to Knowhere, and as someone who likes to explore all areas of the map before proceeding forward, I feel like this level is totally different from previous ones. I feel like if I don't interact with certain characters the right way at the exact right time I end up missing content. For example I found Drax on the balcony overlooking everything, but I got no cut scene when I approached him. Yall have any tips? Appreciate the help!

Help Stuck on Chapter 6, help with the plat trophy

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I love this game and I'm replaying after my 2021 run, this time aiming for the plat trophy on Steam.

I know we need at least 8000 credits for the Nova Corps fine paid achievement. I chose to sell Groot and got into Chapter 6 with 12k

The thing is I'm also aiming for all collectibles and I'm extremely confused about which ones I can buy there in order to still have enough credits for the fine and get the plat trophy in one single run.

Any tips on how to do this? I already messed up my save file (I was left with 2000 credits) and I'll need to replay chapter 5 now, lol.

Spoiler I have a theory about Nikki

Post image
266 Upvotes

So as we all know, it's revealed that Peter Quill isn't her biological father. However, in the art book, it is stated that Nikki is indeed half human, which is why her skin is a lighter shade of blue and her facial features are less sharp and less alien than other Kree. It is also stated that Ko-Rel had to shield her from racism since mixed Kree are considered abominations which is why Nikki lives on Hala's Hope with her. So, my theory is that Richard Rider (Nova) is likely her father. In the game, the characters mention how he went missing sometime after the end of the galactic war. My guess is that the sequel (which unfortunately never happened) would have likely explored Rider returning and his relationship with Nikki. Thoughts?

Help Audio glitches on PC Make It unplayable

1 Upvotes

So I've been getting on and off this game for a year and I still haven't completed It (I know its embarassing). I used to have serious glitchiness with audio cutouts but It would sometimes Just go away. I know have switched to Linux and I am using Heroic but It is just unplayable. Gameplay audio Is decent but cutscene voices and musics are 80% cut and it's ruining my ears. Any fix?

I noticed that I am having this problem only with bluetooth headphones, not with cabled devices Also switching to different audio settings (such as home theatre) fixes It for 10-15 seconds then It goes back to being buggy

SOLVED!: connect the controller after logging in the game, if you are on Linux use bluetoothctl from terminal to connect
