2018’s God of war is headed to PC in January. The game will release on January 14 through Steam, Sony has announced. It follows several of the company’s other high-profile PlayStation exclusives eventually released on the platform.
“All of us at Santa Monica Studio have been humbled by the immense amount of support and passion 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 of God of War on PlayStation 4 have been sold and we can’t wait to share that experience with a whole new group of players on PC.”
The PC version of God of War promises a range of enhancements including “high fidelity graphics,” with support for 4K resolutions, ultrawide displays, unlocked framerates, and advanced settings including higher resolution shadows, “improved” screen-space reflections and support for GTAO and SSDO.
Nvidia DLSS support will also be available at launch to help with framerates. Controllers and fully customizable mouse-and-keyboard setups will be supported.
In addition, God of War for PC, which costs $50, includes the following extra 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
There are no system requirements yet, but the game itself is still a little ways off. God of War is available for pre-purchase now for $50/£40/€50 but won’t release until January 14, 2022.
A sequel, God of War: Ragnarok, is also set to arrive in 2022 on the PlayStation 5—perhaps this means we’ll see it coming our way sooner rather than later, too.
