The Santa Monica Studio title launches on PC January 14, 2022.
We’re thrilled to announce that God of War (2018) will be coming to PC on January 14, 2022! All of us at Santa Monica Studio have been humbled by the immense amount of support and passions fans of the God of War series have shown in the latest chapter of Kratos’ story since its release. As of August 2021, 19.5MM copies for God of War on PlayStation 4 have been sold through and we can’t wait to share that experience with a whole new group of players on PC.
Our primary goal when bringing God of War to PC was to highlight the exceptional content the team created and leverage the powerful hardware that the platform offers to create a uniquely breathtaking and high-performance version of the game.
You’ll be able to enjoy the full potential of our cinematic, no-cut camera as it follows Kratos and Atreus across the realms with the option of true 4k resolution, on supported devices, and unlocked framerates.
Our PC version includes a wide range of graphical presets and options so you can fine-tune your visual experience based on your setup. From higher resolution shadows and improved screen space reflections to enhancements to the ambient occlusion pipeline with GTAO and SSDO – God of War on the PC can create striking visual quality unique to the platform.
We’re also happy to announce that we will have full integration with NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) available on RTX. You won’t have to sacrifice high graphical settings and output resolutions for high performance in God of War.
In addition to DLSS we will also have NVIDIA Reflex low latency technology available. Reflex delivers a more responsive experience allowing you to react quicker and hit harder combos.
Alongside the graphic and performance improvements, we are also offering 21:9 ultra-widescreen support.
From the heart-pumping clashes in combat to the quiet moments where you can take in the otherworldly beauty of the Norse wilds across the Nine Realms, our panoramic widescreen support will make every moment feel more like a truly theatrical experience.
Our plans for God of War on PC include robust controller support and keyboard mapping customization.
For those of you who would prefer a controller, we will support DualShock 4 and DualSense wireless controllers in addition to a wide range of other gamepads.
For our keyboard and mouse players, you will be able to fully customize the bindings to create a control setup that works best for you.
Finally, the purchase of God of War on PC will also contain the following digital content:
- Death’s Vow Armor Sets for Kratos and Atreus
- Exile’s Guardian Shield Skin
- Buckler of the Forge Shield Skin
- Shining Elven Soul Shield Skin
- Dökkenshieldr Shield Skin
That’s all we’ve got for now. We’ll have more details to share over the next few months as we get closer to release on January 14, 2022.
We appreciate your continued support of God of War and hope that this version of the game will create a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience for returning and new God of War fans alike.
If you would like to pre-purchase God of War for PC, it is now available on both Steam and Epic Games Store.
Why again do I need a PlayStation console?
So you don’t have to wait 4 years to play the best exclusives.
Time to sell the consoles and buy pc and download the crack version of every single playstation exclusive then. Here after playstation is not for players.
It’s more convenient than pc, at least from what I seen
I don’t understand this take at all.
Playstations strategy of selling their IPs on PC after a few years is brilliant and only strengthens their IPs so they can sell even more consoles and sequels to those great IPs.
It boosts sales even further and creates even more fans of series that’ll NOT want to wait 3-4 years to play the next game so they pick up a PS5.
Imagine someone who didn’t play Horizon zero dawn or 2018 god of war gets them on PC and goes “this is so good I want to play sequal as soon as it comes out, guess I gotta get a PS5”
that is sony’s goal. Timed exclusives are a win for platform. similtanious releases would hurt sony (and they aren’t doing that, MS is because it doesn’t hurt them considering they get their cut either way).
TL/DR, sony knows what they are doing and it’s good business.
Don’t be dumb. Playstation’s plan is clearly to wait YEARS until pushing these titles to PC. Doesn’t negate the existence of the consoles.
“Imagine someone who didn’t play Horizon zero dawn or 2018 god of war gets them on PC and goes “this is so good I want to play sequal as soon as it comes out, guess I gotta get a PS5””
LOL. If that *has* indeed happened, I can safely bet it wasn’t a meaningful number. PC-only gamers are derisive of anything that isn’t PC.
@DaddysAccident This is launching in less than 4 years after launch.
And ironically, can’t wait for the inevitable delay of Ragnarok now because of this waste of time port that won’t do 5% the sales of the game on PS4 after a decade.
And Days Gone was only 2 years before it came to PC.
And, they aren’t exclusives if they are coming to PC now are they?
Because MANY folks don’t like gaming on a PC? And you have to wait years for ports. Why again do I see these ridiculous comments?
You only want to Spend $400
If you don’t see a reason to own one then don’t… Who is making you own a PlayStation?
@OmniCloud MANY folks?
There are over a billion PC players. What do you mean? By comparison, there MIGHT be 100 million people who prefer to play exclusively on console, even that number is unlikely.
They didn’t even consider a native PS5 version for GoW. They’re just looking to get money from the PC base thanks to these stupid defenders.
Sell it and get a gaming PC if this bothers you that much. Just expect to wait some years to play Ragnarok and indifenitely for other games like Spiderman, Ratchet, etc.
You don’t. Let’s all move to PC.
Pff lol, what else are you gonna do?
Folks like you keep acting like they’re not gonna buy a PS console anymore each time an exclusive comes to PC.
We all know you’re not going anywhere.
You need the console for dust collection purposes.
PC is the place to be. We get better VR and Xbox, Playstation, and PC games!
Not to mention, best handheld portable gaming, coming soon with the Steam Deck.
Hey, people yelling about how we’re gonna wait years to play PS on PC – we’ve got games to keep us busy over here. HaHaHaHaHaaaaa.
Hey, Nintendo. Where are you at?
Ahhhh hAhAhA.
Let me know how you Horizon 2 and GOW spoilers next year. You played Returnal, Ratchet, Spiderman yet?😂. You don’t need a playstation if you don’t like their games.
Look at Neo here, getting jealous and trying to figure out the best way they know how to defend their toy. 😭
I actually pirated this game on my jailbroken PS4 version 7.02.
********””*”””””********
This is blatant disrespect to the legacy of PlayStation.
Fix your servers Sony. We can’t download a single PS3 games that we’ve purchased.
So much for doing a 180 on keeping legacy content.
Fire Jim Ryan is always trending and popping up here and there in certain places around the world because of moves like this.
I ain’t buying anymore day 1 games from PlayStation until we have people who respect their legacy.
Never owned an Xbox, but I’m looking at moving elsewhere, like PC.
So much for my 3000+ stuff I have on the PS3 store front alone.
@DreamKingSandman
Just because Windows XP PCs still exist, doesn’t mean they have a graphics card that is equal or superior than that of a PS5.
If we go see what people got on Steam, very little amount of people have 2080 cards or higher, most have 1050 cards that can’t do Ray Tracing.
With all the paper launches and non existent GPUs to be bought, the PS5 despite having limited sells still have substantially higher install base than PCs of superior power.
Go Flashgitz somewhere else.
Tiger – not everyone does that hardware survey on steam.
I got my 3080, and when it asked for the survey, I said no way, I just want to test this bits out, now.
Cos Playstation exclusive games are on console first for 2-4 years, before PC maybe gets a port.
You don’t, lol
How about drop your anti-gamer shenanigans kids?
*Facepalm*
I have never seen more anti-gamer propaganda go around than on Twitter/Facebook/YouTube and here because of how anti-gamer you all are.
It’s quite sad that none of you are appreciative that the games Sony has made for PlayStation are coming to PC, which gives more people an option to enjoy the game, torrenting? Yes it happens, it happens on consoles too with jailbreak versions of the consoles, it happens on everywhere, but you are too blind when it happens on your platform, but scream the living hell out when it happens on PC and on your favorite game, right? Damn.
Anti-gamer / anti-consumer around in the internet, shame.. If you owned PC before consoles, maybe then you’d be more appreciative, and supportive on sony’s decision instead of putting them down for it.
@CommandingTiger
People CAN and WILL lie within those Surveys, why? To make people like you as a laughing stock because how serious you’re taking a damn survey on internet, just like people lie on the internet in general to get access to places they really shouldn’t, can’t be this ignorant about it.
@MysticalOS
You must be delirious if you think PC players are playing old games and then going out to TRY and find a already hard to find ps5 just to play the sequel.
You clearly do not know PC players, they will beg and beg until Sony releases the sequel too on PC and rinse and repeat for the next game they want. Which they want them all on PC. They think exclusives should all appear on PC. Just check the forums.
