God of War Ragnarök will be coming to PC on September 19, 2024! Santa Monica Studio's development partner for God of War (2018) on PC, Jetpack Interactive, is back to help deliver the PC version of God of War Ragnarök. Alongside the release date, we'd also like to share a selection of the features that will be available (Account for PlayStation Network is required).

Unlocked framerates
Experience the epic conclusion of Kratos and Atreus' journey in the Norse saga at peak performance. Unlocked framerates and the option of true 4K resolution expand the full potential of the cinematic no-cut camera as you travel through the stunning vistas of the Nine Realms to do battle against deadly foes in the forms of Norse gods and monsters.




Upscaling technology
Full integration with NVIDIA RTX Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), and Intel XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) will allow you to reach higher graphical settings and output resolutions.

Super ultra-widescreen support
Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Nine Realms in panoramic widescreen with 21:9 ultra-widescreen and 32:9 super ultra-widescreen support!

Includes God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla
At launch, God of War Ragnarök PC will include all our post-launch updates including a robust New Game+ mode and the God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla DLC.

Experience God of War's combat like never before with the roguelite-inspired DLC that follows Kratos on a deeply personal journey as he faces the darkness of his past while overcoming the trials of Valhalla.

God of War Ragnarök - Pre-purchase offer
Available for pre-purchase now on Steam and the Epic Game Store are the Standard and Digital Deluxe editions of the game.

If you purchase God of War Ragnarök before launch on September 19, you will receive the Kratos Risen Snow Armor and the Atreus Risen Snow Tunic (cosmetic).



God of War Ragnarök - Digital Deluxe Edition
The God of War Ragnarök Digital Deluxe Edition of the game includes:
  • Full God of War Ragnarök game for PC
  • Kratos Darkdale Armor
  • Atreus Darkdale Attire (cosmetic)
  • Darkdale Blades Handles for the Blades of Chaos
  • Darkdale Axe Grip for the Leviathan Axe
  • Official God of War Ragnarök Digital Soundtrack

And no one was surprised. Now, if PlayStation stopped being so indescribably dumb with the PSN account insanity...
I literally cannot buy this in Latvia, thanks to aftereffects of morons at San Mateo doing the HellDivers 2 thing, same with Ghost of Tsushima and HD2 itself.

You could always sail the high seas, if they refuse to sell it to you.
Also, how is Latvia even affected by this? Are Sony stupid? Latvia is a first world country and a part of the EU.

Because it is Sony. They are stupid yes. Historically it has been so, they are not willing to fix it and pay local taxes.

Their support level and solving problem attitude... they are on ASUS level there.

LMAO Playstation said: "The French West Indies can f**** off" even though we've been getting EU games and consoles forever :D. Digital licensing is so stupid at times, they only look at the literal geolocalisation, without taking into account the specificities of overseas territory. There are a few movies that I literally cannot buy or stream from the island

Update: luckily Steam isn't dumb, and use a standard french account for the French overseas territories. So I can see the the game when logged in

Convenience of Steam/GoG and reasonable paycheck have mostly made me hang up the hat. I will probably just ignore the game...

While I could argue that we are hardly an actual first world country this crap affects all Baltics (it was allowed at first, but then they later removed us as well) and bunch of other European states.
I mean it goes on to funny stuff like you cannot buy it on Isle of Man, lol.

Sony is hell-bent on forcing PSN on customers no matter what. This game is single player. Why force PSN?

Next up, review bombing on Steam in Sept.

I was like you but Im back on a VPN and I am back to try before you buy at any form of reasonable doubt. There is far too much bs going on lately.

Well there are going to be other options and people will use them if they want to play the game without PSN.

Yep, this is accurate.
Sony will not give 2 poops though unless it hits them in the sales figures.

I would not expect another Playstation game to launch on PC without PSN. Helldivers 2 taught them that setting expectations is important and letting people meander into PSN is just going to cause outrage. Best to just slap it on there on Day 1 rather than risk Steam okaying refunds because of a change down the road. Anybody mad because they can't play because of where they live and no PSN, well, blame the people who live in places where PSN exists and they just didn't want to log in. They're the ones that made Steam do refunds en masse (supposedly in solidarity with the very people they've now forced Sony into denying them games wholesale) and scared Sony with lots of chargebacks into forcing PSN onto everything not nailed down. Thus, setting expectations going forward for everyone. People in regions without PSN now know they won't be sold the game and people in regions with PSN now know they must log in to that service they probably already have a login for.

That's what Sony meant when they said they were still learning about PC gamers after they caved on Helldivers 2. But they're learning fast and they're probably leery of Steam now because of the HD2 experience as a whole. I'm betting they rush the Playstation PC Storefront out a couple years sooner than they originally intended.

This is what winning looks like, everybody. Hoo-ray.

What? This is stupid. Sony in entirely to blame here for their idiotic decisions.

Edit: Actually I wish they would show the same backbone and enforce the limitations they seem to enjoy on all their platforms. That would be very fun to watch.
