When is God of War Ragnarok coming to PC? The sequel to PlayStation’s acclaimed first-party series arrived on the console in November 2022, and it’s been a long wait for PC players since then. However, we won’t have to dodge spoilers for much longer, as Sony confirms a PC port is on the way.
2018’s God of War left Kratos and Atreus on a slight cliffhanger, with last-minute revelations and plot threads left untied after the credits rolled. The release of God of War Ragnarok on PS5 last year meant it was only a matter of time until the action-adventure game arrived on PC. Now that we’ve got confirmation of the exact GoW Ragnarok PC release date, here’s everything you need to know.
Is GoW Ragnarok coming to PC?
The God of War Ragnarok PC release date is Thursday, September 19, 2024. This was confirmed by Sony in the State of Play showcase that aired on May 30. It’s currently available for pre-purchase.
The God of War Ragnarok PC announcement trailer also confirmed a number of in-demand hardware features like unlocked frame rates and super ultrawide support, along with Nvidia DLSS 3.7, AMD FSR3.1, and Intel Xess 1.3 support. It also includes the Valhalla DLC at launch, so there’s no waiting around once you’ve wrapped the main story on PC.
We first heard about an imminent GoW Ragnarok PC announcement from prominent leaker Billbil-kun on X (formerly Twitter), who claimed that the “announcement date is imminent.” This statement was later proven correct during Sony’s State of Play live showcase on Thursday, May 30, 2024.
When asked about the release cadence of PlayStation PC ports, Sony CEO Jim Ryan confirms that PlayStation Studios is “proactive” and “staggering the release of the PC versions” after player feedback revealed that “selling the PC version two or three years after the release of the PS version is accepted favorably.”
Our 9/10 God of War PC review describes the previous game’s port as “pretty good” but omits a true fullscreen mode and a framerate cap higher than 120fps. Hopefully, God of War Ragnarok’s PC port will include these additional settings in the follow-up to this “lavishly produced” adventure.
