When will God of War Ragnarök come to PC? Release date confirmed
Kratos and Atreus are finally returning to PC.
God of War Ragnarök is one of the best games of the PS5 generation so far, but PC players have had to wait a long time to get their hands on it.
However, at Sony’s State of Play on Thursday 30th May 2024, a release date was finally confirmed.
Ragnarök continues the story of god Kratos and his son Atreus as they deal with the consequences of their violent actions in 2018’s God of War.
Set in the realm of Norse mythology, the sequel was unleashed to critical acclaim back in November 2022 for having an emotionally compelling narrative and superbly designed combat.
In recent years, Sony has increasingly committed to releasing more of its first-party titles on PC, with the likes of Marvel’s Spider-Man, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 all making their way onto Steam.

When will God of War Ragnarök come out on PC?
God of War Ragnarök will be released on PC on 19th September 2024.
Developer Jetpack Interactive, who ported the 2018 predecessor to PC, has returned to work alongside Santa Monica Studio on this version as well.
In a blog post from Sony, the PC version will include the option to play the game at a true 4K resolution and offer support for ultra widescreen, if you have the relevant hardware.
Included for free will also be the Valhalla DLC, which landed on PS5 as a Christmas treat in December 2023. It followed Kratos as he attempts to overcome his past, taking on the trials of Valhalla.
There is no information yet on whether or not the game will run on Steam Deck, but considering the previous title in the series does, we are hopeful Ragnarök will work on the handheld device too.
With regards to system requirements for PC to play the game, Sony has announced that these will be detailed closer to release.
