Over the past few years, PlayStation has joined Xbox in its strategy of bringing games from its own catalog to PC, including Horizon: Zero Dawn, Days Gone, and Uncharted. Now it’s the turn of God of War (2018), which is also one of the most representative and best-rated games on PS4 and PS5.
On the internet we have been able to find all kinds of clues and rumors, but finally the announcement has been formalized —Maybe due to a SteamDB leak minutes ago— with trailer, release date and details. With this, God of War already has a tab on Steam: you can put it on track or reserve it immediately for 49.99 euros.
The game will be available on January 14, 2022 and it will have, how could it be otherwise, improved graphics. Its managers promise us a maximum resolution of 4K compatible with ultra-wide screens, unlocked FPS rate, and numerous configuration options (shadows, reflections, ambient occlusion, and more) including some of Ampere’s most popular technologies, DLSS and Reflex. In addition, it will be possible to play with a mouse and keyboard, generic controllers or DualShock 4 and DualSense.
Approximate requirements of God of War for PC
Taking advantage of its landing on Steam, from Sony Santa Monica they have provided the table of minimum and recommended requirements for God of War, but as you can check under these lines, it’s not finished. The most important data (GPU, CPU, RAM) is missing which will undoubtedly be fully revealed as we get closer to launch.

PlayStation’s commitment to PC
Until not long ago, watch a game first-party Sony on computer seemed like an impossible dream because the Japanese publisher has maintained a tight control of your IPs during years. However, with this change in strategy we not only have some PlayStation games on PC —With the nuance that they do not arrive at the same time as the console, while those of Xbox do— but in fact that commitment has been reinforced this year with the acquisition of Nixxes Software.
He was in charge of signing the ports of PC games like Marvel’s Avengers or the most recent Tomb Raider, and their mission on PlayStation is precisely that: to support the brand with good adaptations of his most popular games. With these releases, all eyes are now on Bloodborne, FromSoftware’s legendary action RPG.
