God of War Ragnarok PC system requirements confirmed ahead of September 19 launch
Earlier this year, a sketchy leak from 4chan said Sony planned to bring many of its exclusives to PC, including The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Demon's Souls, Gran Turismo 7 and God of War Ragnarok. Sony has detailed its PC system requirements, and they're fairly relaxed. You can pre-order God Of War Ragnarok on Steam and Epic Games Store now and play it on September 19.
| 1080p 30 FPS | 1080p 60 FPS | 1440p 60 FPS | 4K 60 FPS High | 4K 60 FPS Ultra | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Core i5-4670K/Ryzen 3 1200 | Core i5-8600/Ryzen 5 3600 | Core i7-7700K/Ryzen 7 2700X | Core i7-7700K/Ryzen 7 2700X | Core i5-11600K/Ryzen 7 3700X |
| GPU | GeForce GTX 1060/Radeon RX 550 XT | GeForce RTX 2060 Super/Radeon RX 5700 | GeForce RTX 3070/Radeon RX 6800 | GeForce RTX 3080 Ti/Radeon RX 6900 XT | GeForce RTX 4070 Ti/Radeon RX 7900 XT |
Furthermore, God of War Ragnarok will require at least 8 GB of RAM (16 GB recommended), any reasonably up-to-date version of Windows and a whopping 190 GB of hard drive space. It overtakes Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as one of the largest PC games, although Call of Duty still reigns supreme.
Egregious storage requirements aside, God of War Ragnarok is relatively light on resources. Then again, God of War (2018) didn't require a high-end PC either, and it stands to reason that its successor will follow suit. Plus, it supports all AI-powered upscalers such as Nvidia DLSS 3, AMD FSR 3.1 and Intel XeSS and their corresponding frame generation tech.
Like Ghost of Tsushima, it might require a mandatory PlayStation Network login. This could result in it not running on handhelds like the Steam Deck despite it packing (somewhat) adequate hardware to run God of War Ragnarok.
