Ember2.8 : Refresh absolutely everything on transitionToRoute('/route')

So I currently have a card game that when finished loads up a modal with a button to transition back to the home route. This is the action that is called when the modal's close button is clicked.

goBackHome() {
  this.transitionToRoute('/games');
},

It does redirect to the requested route, but all the changes to back-end data I did still remain. I've also tried passing it the model itself

goBackHome() {
  this.transitionToRoute('games');
},

Basically, it doesn't do a hard refresh of everything. What I would like is when transitionToRoute is called to reload the route as if I was inputting the exact URL into the browser myself.
