God of War Ragnarok’s beefy PC port might convince you to buy it again

Sony revealed that the next PlayStation Studios title coming to PC will be 2022’s hit God of War: Ragnarok. It will be available on September 19, 2024, on Steam.

PlayStation announced during its May 2024 State of Play that Ragnarok would be coming to PC two years after it originally came to PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles. The rebooted God of War, which released on PS4 in 2018, already came to PC in early 2022. The PC version of Ragnarok will allow for an uncapped frame rate, Nvidia DLSS 3.7, and super ultrawide support. It’ll also include the game’s standout Valhalla DLC.

Considering God of War: Ragnarok has no online components, we suspect that there will be no requirement to have a PSN account to play, just like you aren’t required to have one to access the single-player content in Ghost of Tsushima, only the Legends mode.

This is the latest PlayStation exclusive to come to PC in a growing list of successes. While PlayStation will launch live-service titles on PC and console simultaneously, such as Helldivers 2 and the upcoming Concord, it still keeps its single-player titles exclusive to its consoles for a few years before porting them to PC. Despite that time gap, each PlayStation Studios title released on PC has yielded success. Ghost of Tsushima was the latest PlayStation title to come to PC and achieved over 57 thousand concurrent players. The original God of War came to PC in 2022 and holds the record for a single-player PlayStation Studios game at over 73 thousand concurrent players.
