God of War PC version announced, no longer PlayStation exclusive

God of War Ragnarok Secrets 500

It’s official – God of War is coming to PC. A Steam version of the game is now available to pre-order with a release date set for January 14, 2022.

Now even more gamers will get to enjoy the 2018 reboot which quickly became a flagship title for the PlayStation brand.

God of War isn’t the only former PS4 exclusive to appear on PC. Horizon: Zero Dawn and Days Gone are also available to buy on Steam.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Edition is also coming to PC in 2022 – it will include Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and The Lost Legacy. Which PlayStation exclusive will be the next to jump over to PC? Bloodborne, perhaps?

The God of War PC release boasts some new features. Here’s a technical rundown:

High Fidelity Graphics

Although the announcement is sure to enrage some of the more sensitive PlayStation fans out there, it’s a good move by Sony. God of War is already a few years old with most core PS4 and PS5 gamers already owning a copy. Launching on PC will open the gates to an even wider fanbase, getting them charged up for God of War: Ragnarok.
