Now Playing: Godfall: Combat Overview – PS5 Gameplay Walkthrough

There are several key takeaways from the back of the box, particularly when it comes to playing Godfall. The box lists that there's no offline mode, PlayStation Plus is required for network features, and the game takes up at least 50 GB of storage space.

While PlayStation Plus is required to play online with friends, the official Godfall Twitter account clarified that an online subscription is not necessary to play solo.

The description on the back of Godfall's box also indicates vibration function and trigger effects are supported, meaning Godfall takes advantage of DualSense's sensory features.

Gearbox has been showing a lot of Godfall in the lead-up to its November 12 launch on PC and PlayStation 5. This includes an in-depth look at the game's cooperative play and weapon classes, as well as a cinematic trailer that sets up Godfall's narrative.
