God of War came out on PC on January 14th and from the looks of it, this latest Playstation-exclusive game is selling well on our platform. The game has been the best-selling title on Steam in the past two weeks and according to SteamSpy, it has sold at least one million copies.
Right now, SteamSpy estimates that the game has sold between one and two million copies. Do note that SteamSpy only shows estimates for a game’s sales (based on the number of players who own a game). Also note that SteamSpy only tracks public profiles, meaning that those with private profiles (that own the game) are not counted. Therefore, and theoretically, the actual PC sales may be higher than one million. Let’s also not forget that God of War is available via other PC digital services, like Epic Games Store.
To be honest, God of War deserves those sales as the PC version is in a great state. The game runs smoothly on a wide range of PC configurations, and feels great with K&M.
As we’ve already reported, God of War does not feature any FOV slider (mainly due to its one-cut game design). Still, PC gamers can download this experimental FOV mod.
Our PC Review for God of War will go live later today, so stay tuned for more!

Totaly agree John!
Awesome pc port. Hope it sell 10 million pc copies. They deserve it!
does it have a fov option? No, therefore its not an awesome port.
” FOV option would break the game as just look at the mod and it just looks bad in “cutscenes””
then its not a pc game or a good port.
Are you frikking dumb buddy!
It says just Why in every article here = Explained Why!
But otherwise I would agree. All pc versions must have a fov option – if possible!
not an excuse by that logic old games shouldnt have fov options either.
Well yeah can agree and atleast they Should have gave the option – even if breaking things. All pc versions should. The Devs can call it: Pc extras and explain that if using this it can break x etc! That would give us pc gamers the options we deserve. And not have to tinker with mods for it! Btw use the FOV scaling for the game with Flawless Widescreen and so far no problem 🙂
the amount of defense you run for this console game, unusual for you.
LOL..may seem like that bro. But it’s well done and All games should be on our plattform. You know me saying one plattform to rule them all – hell yeah thats Pc
Good enough for ya ?
still a better port then ff7 remake.
S**t game that didn’t deserve even 10K.
And you’re still playing pirated version of it? Who is s**t here the game or you?
Who said I’m playing that junk?
Have to be pretty rxtarded to trust a source such as steamspy.
This game is awesome and deserves it.
that’s what ? 30 million in revenue in a week ?
damn
Sony give us Bloodborne, GoD OF war trilogy remaster NOW BISHES
mate just buy a playstation if these are the console games you want to play.
And why it’s a bad thing that it came out on PC? You don’t want to play it on PC fine don’t buy it and move on.
you first.
Found the console kid.
on the contrary i am telling you to buy a console if you want to play console games kiddie.
On the contrary, you are a console kid.
Why buy a console if you can play it on PC?
And didn’t you block me?
i got endless accounts, also no i even emulate mouse and keyboard on console games, i am telling you that games like the new god of war cinematic interactive movies with small fovs are liked only by console gamers.
Have fun on console, console kiddie.
I will not waste money on a useless device. Cope and seethe.
thats what i said though are you stupid? Oh wait you trolling again to piss me off, meh i wont bite.
You want people to buy consoles to play console games that are being(or will be) released on PC.
You have reading comprehension problems. Which explains why you have problems understanding basic concepts and why you are a filthy stormcuck socialist degenerate. No wonder you are an inbred, and every time you write proves that you are indeed an inbred.
Get lost.
i mate a long post about this but tldr, if this is the kind of games sony is gonna make, they can keep them, i dont want to play them.
The rest of your post is trolling. I am not going everywhere i will outlive you on this site like i have everyone else, 5 year in i will still be here and you wont be downvoting my posts.
Imagine caring about downvotes… Only stormcucks gets triggered over it.
And block me like you did before.
Console kiddie who is all about CONSOOM.
israel cares so much about downvotes that they have deployed cyber JIDF to defend israel online, heck they even have a ai censorship system i remember the ceo of adl showing it off to israel. Imagine simping for israel and tell other people how bad downvoting is. Imagine being jester who has been downvoting must posts for months just because i posted them and has the audacity to say “who cares about downvotes” but enough about your stupidity.
Imagine believing in a conspiracy theory like that! hahahahahahahahahahahaha
It is just so funny! I laugh at you id*ots every single time! hahahaha
I can’t wait for you to get triggered and reply to every single post I ever wrote, like you did before! hahahaha
I see your name, or some other loser stormcuck and I don’t even read the comment, I immediately downvote because the chances of having an understandable argument or something worth the seconds to read it are just so slim that I am more likely to win the lottery.
Conspiracy theory? What exactly is the conspiracy here?
hahahahahahah I would answer that if you weren’t trying to be dishonest! We all know who you are and what you are trying to do. Read your post and stop being dishonest.
Go believe in your nonsense while I and others reading this laugh at your inbreeding! hahaha
where is the conspiracy you dishonoest hack? Is the jidf not shutting down speech online?
Let me throw a quick bucked of cold water into your tiny little fapping party… JIDF does not exist anymore.
The people trying to shut down speech online are you leftists, the communists and stormcucks. Have you forgotten how often you stormcucks report my posts here and elsewhere when I notice your pattern, and show to the world the degeneracy of your censorship, ped* loving and other stu*pidity?

you are a clown.
Some of that censorship is understandable in regards to base pictures, positions and more. But it doesn’t even come close to your country, China, who doesn’t even allow facebook to operate there.
India had 70,815 censorship requests. So, your argument falls flat again. You are a clown, and a liar.
And like America, a country you hate, Israel has the leftists who wants to censor people, “then-prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu stepped in to remove it from the Knesset docket.” Even a right winger had to step in and stop it.
You are a liar, and a person who hates America and loves China. In China you can’t have any of this. Why are you posting on disqus?
“Some of that censorship is understandable”
hahahahhahah lol. what a clown “israel doesnt censor” to “censorship is quite good actually” AHAHAHHAHAHHA what a clown.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA holy molly! Who said that? And wow you are good at misreading! I said that showing military base locations is bad. Different from censoring other things, plus, your links prove YOU wrong, and now you are just dtrying to save face or damage control
ahahahhahahahahahahahaha Thanks for the screenshot! I have a nice folder about you with contradictions, hypocrisy, lies, and even support for China. How much does 50 cent buys you in China?
Why do you hate America?
they still censor though. So you lost. What america has to do with this? We were talking about israel, is a reverse jew jitsu? Unusually when we talk about america firt, you shoehorn in israel, now you do the opposite?
Because you hate america and freedom. Shall we talk about how China, your country, censors everything? Did you forget how China censored your pixels on Genshin Impact?
“caring for america is caring for israel”
no, i dont care about israel.
What does china have to do with any of this?
“I only care about China and hate America”
Well, then why are you posting on an American website?
i never said i care about china and hate america you made it up.
Mate listen, you talking to yourself. are you a troll or something?
If you misquote me, I misquote you. Quid-pro-quo.
then we go nowhere
Then learn to act like a normal human being and not like an inbred communist. If you don’t like it when people treat you the same way you treat others, then perhaps you should think hard about your beliefs and how you act. Everything you do, rest assured, I support it to happen to you. Good or bad.
are you describing yourself right now? You acting exactly like that you freaking moron.
Stop describing yourself!
i was describing you.
Then why did you describe yourself instead? Because you are confessing through projection(All you communists do that)
huh seems me and you are not that different, aside from the fact i am not a clown.
I don’t get the praise for the PC port either. It’s the worst one we have ever had (compared to Days Gone, HZD and Detroit Become Human before 2 years worth of patches) and made by baboons (jetpack interactive) who have never done proper technical work on a game before.
– Hardware isn’t being fully utilized in most of the complex locations.
– Fast traveling to 3 or more territories will bloat useless data into your memory that never gets flushed – I could make my 32gb ram system suffer in less than an hour just with fast travel.
– For camera movement, using arrow keys is more responsive than the mouse.
– Had the tiniest stutter in a cutscene? The audio will be delayed from the rest of the scene until you are back to normal gameplay.
– Rebinding keys isn’t optimized for keyboard+mouse usage because some actions require combination keypresses which could have easily been separately assignable keys.
– Setting the game to the maximum possible visual settings barely makes any difference from the original preset, yet tanks the performance ‘just cause’. Only in the forest starting area gives you an arguably better look.
– The shadow setting on Ultra reduces performance by about 40%. The result? The same shadows but sharper. Considering the environmental setting of this game and the fact that the sun shines about 2 times in total – there should never be sharp shadows.
Saying its one of the worst ports is just utter, demonstrable nonsense. The biggest issue is the negative mouse acceleration. Which isnt even that horrible, because you can totally play the game perfect with m/kb as long as you dont jerk the mouse very fast.
Regarding the ultra shadows, yes they’re heavy. Because it renders many more additional shadows at much higher resolution. Its not the same shadows but sharper. They’re many many aditional shadows. Depending on the scene, the image is completely transformed.
I havent experiences the fast travelling issue with fast traveling.
You have to keep in mind these are very specific engines tailored to the console architecture and wont always scale as expected. A console engine designed to only ever run on ps4 at 30 frames and we’re trying to push hundreds of frames on a computer now. Its not always gonna be smooth sailing
Isn’t Cyberpunk 2077 built for the pc first? Say what you will about various aspects of the game, but it looks way better on pc than any other platform.
I was made for PC but had to be heavily cut down/overoptimized to even run on the conslows. I suspect something in the line of “If your game looks way better on competing platforms you won’t be allowed to release it on ours” is big part of it too
Of course not every AAA game is a console port. Almost none are. Because almost everything is designed for a PC release from the drawing board and everything else gets done from there.
No mather how many aspects modern consoles share in common with computers, they still arent off the shelf parts. They still have various custom things in them. And a game like this which was only ever designed for a playstation is not a straightforward affair as you imagine it to be. Its not about sandy bridge and other nonsense, its a mix of hardware and software.
They had to port this from the playstation api to directx. The devs said themselves, some things worked out the box, others had to be worked on. Consoles use unified memory, PC’s dont.
You cant just make calculations as if a console is just a pc, especially with specialized software like God of War was. This port for the most part is very good, even if it has a few kinks to sort out
we have the developers on the record talking about the work they did on this port, there’s no need to invent things to try and sound like you know what you’re talking about
Agree but hzd still stuttery as heck in the major city to this day for me, rtx 2060m.
God of Soy
i watched a “bossbattle” and i call it like that because it looked more like a cutscene, it looked exactly like the capesht marvel movies, 2 superheroes fighting each other throwing each other away at walls breaking stuff and getting back up again, it cannot be overstated how damaging the super hero capesht has been for gaming.
to be fair to the game you did similar sh*t in all of the original series.
yes but it wasnt directed like a marvel movie.
Dude you’re always so mad ?
as he should be as all of as should be.
No, most people aren’t as mentally damaged as you or the other girl.
Just because you father didn’t loved you and your life sucks, doesn’t mean that we all have to be a r**ard like you or Latex.
yes it doe, not suck my dck
meanwhile ubicrap “why they dont buy our games? Must be piracy!” Puts 14 layers of drm and no one cracks it for over year…still doesnt sell one million.
Fun part.. fewer and fewer buys their game due to the tech issues… more than likely often caused by the stacked layers of drm
ubisoft games are more fun than these boring overpriced console ports
Collect this,collect that,climb tower to reveal the map…yep,thats fun
Go through linear levels and slash/shoot monsters/zombies. Soooooo much fun……
maybe 5 years ago, now they are all the same woke mmo style microtransaction grindfest.
It wasn’t 2 million thanks to C0dex
we pirates will not buy your games even if it had that cancerous denuvo.
People really wants Bloodborne huh?
the ps4 version runs like a*s, and it’s main reason I didn’t buy ghost tsushima either. I played my buddies version for about 30 mins. it barely get 30 fps on either of those games.
I can’t believe this thing costs $50, what a joke.
Game does not run smooth here, iv a rtx2080 with 8700k @4.7ghz, 16gb ram, and game settings only on high, ambient occlusion on original since its broken on high (gives blue tint to some areas) and textures maxed, on a 1080p monitor and i get plenty fps drops into 40-50 range, but often sit at 80+ fps.
Most of the bad performance is when in a boat, in broks shop in midgard when you first open the door and in some cutscenes/transitions, biggest laggy part was during the cutscene when Baldur kidnapped Atreus and you go to hellheim when fighting on a dragon, that cutscene was ruined, also the longer hours you play the more the lag creeps in
Game is greatly in need of patches
thats on all PC’s
use the experimental version of the game
What “experimental version”? how?
Steam > properties on the game>betas> experimental build
How to do this on torrent version?
i don’t pirate good optmized games
Cuck
For what? Supporting a developer who did good job on their PC port? Cuck are those who cry and whine here everyday about the game not being good, blah blah blah but still pirate it like losers. No wonder most of you just waste their time here because that’s all you can do while you wait for a working pirated version to appear, you neither have the money nor the willingness to support the game by buying it.
Imagine paying money for soy trash.
Imagine being so poor that even crosses your mind.
They complain about everything. They may not actually be gamers.
When there is a game they like, instead of telling the developer “well done” by buying their product, they pirate it and cry when there is no sequel, or another game, or the games they like are not made anymore.
you just bend over and take it don’t you johnny boy!
I did the 102 flt update started getting not enough memory crash, before that the default fg ali and the updates there I still got a repeatable crash at the same point in game. Gave up on this thing. Not too disappointing because I thought this was a refresh of the original PS2 version. I don’t follow console games so wasn’t aware it was a different game under same title. Might need nvidia driver update may try that.
So you were the flag bearer of hating this game when it came out on PC that it’s not good, controls are bad, graphics are bad, story is bad, combat is bad yadda yadda yadda but you have all the information about the pirated version of the game which means that’s exactly what you did to download it (don’t tell me that you were just curious to see if it’s available on torrent sites or not).
It’s like sh*ting on something and then licking it yourself, why do you even bother typing that much against a game when you just go and steal it? Never seen a bigger loser before in my life. If you’re voting with your wallet by not buying something then put your money where your mouth is by being a man and not pirating it.
GOW 3 artbook??!!!! You are the MVP mate. That thing is a definite pinnacle for the appreciation of class art forms.
I’ll tell you how, it’s pretty easy actually. All you need is a metal bowl and a piece of cardboard big enough to write “Need Help” then go sit down on a major intersection or a busy shopping mall or something eventually generous people will drop enough pennies in your bowl that you’ll be able to buy the game and then you can play with the experimental build.
That’s not the torrent version.
1.0.3 now available.
That experimental (beta patches) became official version already, none of those issues are fixed and prob wont be for a while yet
this guys deserve way more sales on PC.
What a masterpiece of art becasue you can’t call it just a game this is true NEXT GEN experience.
They did a fantastic job using DX11 for day 1 came in fantastic condition and they are still working for the “new areas lag/stutter thingy”
CD Project Red Take notes and learn how to develop games same goes with the Witcher 3 sh*t team.
BAHAHAHAHHAHA next gem my as s, it looked dated back then and looks dated now.
better than the Wishatter 3
true but that game was large open world and made by what was a b studio at the time and it was a multiplat.
Thankful people bought it. Just so Sony see’s a reason to release more games. (Give me Last of Us 1+2) I personally can’t be bothered to pay $60cad for a game I bought on ps store few years ago for $10. Might grab it once it drops to $20 tho
Both Last of Us are already on Youtube.
LOL
Damn you’re a f4ggot.
And you’re a loser who only can only run mouth, doesn’t have money to buy anything.
Why buy if you can torrent? Frankly there’s nothing even worth buying on Western front.
I hope the brat dies, and younger cool kratos comes back.
anybody know a method to force this game to run in vulkan?
Haven’t tried it myself but apparently there is a mod that allows you to run it in Vulkan check the mod below.

Mediocrity sells
All those fast food restaurants wouldn’t be popular otherwise
