Sony Santa Monica Studio’s 2018 masterpiece God Of War is coming to PC. And now we get to see the game running on PC, as well as the specs required to run this soft-reboot/hard-sequel of the long-running God Of War series.
The PC version can run up to 4K resolution, with unlocked framerates, various graphical options to tweak, improved screen-space reflections (or “fake ray-tracing”) and ultra-wide 21:9 widescreen support.
Plus, if you have an Nvidia graphics card, God Of War (2018) also supports Nvidia DLSS (higher performance with lesser rendering power use thanks to AI upscaling), and Nvidia Reflex low-latency tech for more responsive controls.
The game can be played on a mouse and keyboard, but you can plug in any gamepad to play it as well, including Sony’s own DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers.
