“His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters,” a description for the game reads. “It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.”
According to a PC system requirements tables shared in December, God of War players who want to experience Kratos’ latest journey under the Ultra setting at 4K/60 FPS will require an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (10 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (16 GB) graphics card and 9th Gen Intel Core i9-9900K or AMD Ryzen 9 3950X processor at minimum, along with 16 GB of memory and 70 GB of free SSD space.
God of War’s PC port will feature various improvements over the PlayStation versions, such as unlocked frame rates and true 4K resolution. Players can also expect higher resolution shadows, improved screen space reflections, and support for NVIDIA DLSS.
