An early God of War Ragnarok PC, PlayStation 5 comparison video was shared online, highlighting the improvements the PC version of the game will feature over the PlayStation 5 release.

The port should be announced this month, but the leaker thinks it is unlikely the announcement will come during the rumored showcase, so it's probable it will be announced with a blog post on the Official PlayStation Blog, much like the latest Sony ports, such as the soon-to-be-released Ghost Of Tsushima: Director's Cut. Unfortunately, billbil-kun has […]
It will be a while longer until PC players can enjoy God of War Ragnarok, according to rumors circulating online. Speaking on X/Twitter, Silknigth, who correctly revealed the time frame for the Ghost of Tsushima PC port announcement, commented on the PC release of the latest entry in the series, saying that it won't be out until the first quarter of 2025. Perhaps a PC version, but not until the first quarter of 2025, if it arrives earlier, it's a gift, but I doubt it. https://t.co/Gb0BEgsjBR — Silknigth (@Silknigth) March 19, 2024 While it is disappointing that God of War […]
