2018' God of War is one of the PS4's most iconic exclusives and it will soon be accessible to more gamers. PlayStation announced today that the title is headed to Steam in January and released a new trailer for the announcement:

​

Enter the Norse realm
His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.

Grasp a second chance
Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world with his son.

Journey to a dark, elemental world of fearsome creatures
From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains and caves of pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.

Engage in visceral, physical combat
With an over the shoulder camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before, fights in God of War™ mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty and grueling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of the God of War series while presenting a vision of conflict that forges new ground in the genre.

This version of God of War will, as expected, come with some PC-enhanced features as follows:

• High Fidelity Graphics

Striking visuals enhanced on PC. Enjoy true 4K resolution, on supported devices, [MU1] with unlocked framerates for peak performance. Dial in your settings via a wide range of graphical presets and options including higher resolution shadows, improved screen space reflections, the addition of GTAO and SSDO, and much more.​

• NVIDIA DLSS and Reflex Support

Quality meets performance. Harness the AI power of NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) to boost frame rates and generate beautiful, sharp images on select Nvidia GPUs. Utilize NVIDIA Reflex low latency technology allowing you to react quicker and hit harder combos with the responsive gameplay you crave on GeForce GPUs.​

• Controls Customization

Play your way. With support for the DUALSHOCK 4 and DUALSENSE wireless controllers, a wide range of other gamepads, and fully customizable bindings for mouse and keyboard, you have the power to fine-tune every action to match your playstyle.​

• Ultra-wide Support

Immerse yourself like never before. Journey through the Norse realms taking in breathtaking vistas in panoramic widescreen. With 21:9 ultra-widescreen support, God of War presents a cinema quality experience that further expands the original seamless theatrical vision.​

In addition to DualShock 4 and DualSense wireless controllers support, keyboard and mouse players will be able to fully customize the bindings for their personalized setup.

God of War on PC will also come with the following digital content:

• Death’s Vow Armor Sets for Kratos and Atreus
• Exile’s Guardian Shield Skin
• Buckler of the Forge Shield Skin
• Shining Elven Soul Shield Skin
• Dökkenshieldr Shield Skin

God of War will launch on Steam on January 14, 2022 and is available to pre-order for £39.99.

What is it with Sony porting only the 4th installment of their IPs to PC?

 

[g00s3y]

I can't wait, should be amazing.

Horizon, Days Gone, Death Stranding were all great on PC. My 3090 has been awesome!

 

[Plazorn]

this seems to be good, and bad, good news, God of War will be available on Steam Deck, but the bad news is that if Sony keeps doing this, its consoles may not have the exclusivity they once had.

 

[RyRyIV]

Oh hey, neat. I'll finally get to play a God of War game.

 

[SuperDan]

[RyRyIV]

you have played any at all >?<?>... YOU SHOULD !

I haven't owned a Sony console since the PlayStation 1. So I've never had the opportunity.

Now I will.

 

[Reploid]

I don't want this stupid movie on my gaming platform

 

[Jiehfeng]

Wow, I never thought this would actually happen. Also there's Dualsense support? That's freaking sweet, I hope it has surround as well so we can use Dolby Atmos for Headphones.

 

[Deleted member 534570]

Congratulations, PC players! I hope you enjoy it!

 

[Armadillo]

Still holding out for Bloodborne. Game that needs a pc port the most, hopefully won't be trapped forever on ps4 .

 

[Plazorn]

Final Fantasy VII Remake please?

 

[Lazyboss]

Chill man, you don't even own a PC.

 

[Kioku]

On Steam? Oh shit! Guess I'll finally get to see what the buzz is about.

 

[Jiehfeng]

Actually wait, it never said it supports the Dualsense features, just Dualsense support. I wonder if haptics and adaptive triggers would be supported or if it's just plain Xinput like support.

 

[DKB]

oh shit nice
