It’s official: God of War: Ragnarok is the latest PlayStation exclusive to head to PC, joining its predecessor on Steam alongside several other games that were previously only available on PS5.
It’ll arrive on PC on September 19, 2024, it was announced during Thursday’s State of Play. God of War: Ragnarok will be available alongside of Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, and other PlayStation games, all of which are Steam Deck verified.
It is expected to include the new PlayStation overlay featuring shared trophies and more that was introduced with Ghost of Tsushima. Sony did confirm that it’ll arrive with unlimited framerate, UltraWide support, and support for Nvidia DLSS 3.7/AMD FSR 3.1/Intel XESS 1.3.
The trailer also confirmed, much to the dismay of many fans, that a PlayStation Network account will be required.
God of War: Ragonarok continues the stories of Kratos and his now teenaged soon, Atreus. The sequel was praised as an enthralling spectacle on its release, earning a 10 in IGN’s review.
“Impeccable writing, pitch-perfect performances, knockout action – it’s a complete work of art from top to bottom. Reflecting its core themes, it’s everything a sequel should be: respectful of its legendary lineage, but not afraid to take it to exciting new places,” we wrote at the time. “God of War Ragnarok is an almighty achievement and creates a new high that makes many of its peers look positively mortal by comparison.”
God of War: Ragnarok went on to win numerous awards after its release, subsequently receiving free DLC that introduced a new roguelike mode, and its PC release has long been anticipated by fans. Notably, God of War 2018 is highly-rated on Steam, currently sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive, with our deep dive explaining how Sony Santa Monica made its epic more accessible along with other improvements. We’ll see if we get more of the same from its sequel.
