Fans Discover Workaround to Pause in The First Berserker: Khazan
Players of *The First Berserker: Khazan* have discovered a trick to pause the game, a feature that has been notably absent in the challenging Soulslike title. While the lack of a pause function has frustrated many players, creative fans have found ways around it.
As shared by Reddit user ScholarElectronic730, PlayStation 5 players can pause the game by long-pressing the PS button on their DualSense controller, suspending the game until they choose to resume. Xbox players can use the Xbox button/Nexus button, while Steam Deck users can pause the game by pressing the power button to suspend the device.
Despite the workaround, many *Khazan* fans have expressed frustration with the lack of a built-in pause feature. While developers often avoid adding pauses in Soulslike games to maintain tension, this absence has left some players feeling inconvenienced, especially when real-life distractions interrupt intense moments in the game.
Though the developers have confirmed upcoming DLC for *The First Berserker: Khazan*, there has been no indication that a pause feature will be officially added. For now, players on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam Deck can use these workarounds to take a break when needed.
