Sony has just revealed the official PC system requirements for God of War: Ragnarok which will come out on September 19th. In addition, the publisher reconfirmed that the game will support the latest versions of all PC upscaling techniques at launch.
PC gamers will at least need an Intel i5-4670k or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD RX 5500 XT or Intel Arc A750. The game will also require 190GB of free disk space.
For gaming at 1080p/Medium with 60fps, you’ll need an Intel i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with 16GB of RAM. For those settings, the devs suggest using an NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super or AMD RX 5700.
For 1440p/High with 60fps, you’ll need an Intel i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD RX 6800. Do note that this is at native 1440p.
Finally, for the ultimate experience, Native 4K/Ultra with 60fps, you’ll need Intel i5-11600K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with an NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti or AMD RX 7900 XT. As Sony noted, this is for “Average 60fps”, meaning that there might be some drops below it at some points.
As said, God of War: Ragnarok will support all PC upscaling techniques. In other words, there will be support for Nvidia DLSS 3.7, AMD FSR 3.1 and Intel XeSS 1.3 from the get-go. And yes, all of their Frame Generation solutions will be available.
Stay tuned for more!

Remember people Sweet Baby inc was involved in this turd. Great humiliation ritual where you are talked down by feminist writer as a masculine male and " be better " .
Not just that, but reinterpreting Nordic gods as African ones. These cowards wouldn't dare depict islamic prophets or hindu gods as the wrong race, but when it comes to White man's history and beliefs, anything goes!
and some greek who was a historian and a writer in the game was defending this crap.
Modern Historians might as well be fiction writers at this point, it's less about the reconstruction of past times and more about pushing ideologically driven rhetoric.
Scientists and historians are neither. They rewrite facts to suit their narratives.
Hindus are peaceful but don't tolerate mistreatment of their gods where muzlims…well they are aggressive regardless lol .
to be fair how many people still praciticing norse or greek religions as opposed to islam or hinduism? There arent a ton of big games that would poke into christianity in a similar way.
eh the whole ac series does that, lots of antichristian stuff all over the place in games, 77 mocks it all over, church blowing up and burning is featured in days gone, rdr2 has marxist drivel in it all over there's no good view of the very dominant religion of the time and place, I could go on and on with games. It's on the sly side mostly but still, we don't get that with other religions in games.
There are definitely things like attitudes and misisons that I would not deny but nothing that deals with the the actual figures in the Christian religion/mythos like how you directly interact with the figures in God of War. A lot of your examples are more about how the characters/story/narrative feel about the religion, not Jesus Christ showing up and having a glancing blow with the protagonist the same way Kratos throws down with Ares or Baldur. Halo series for example is definitely a type of critique at fundamentalism of the middle eastern variety as I see it but they don’t have you shooting it out with any named historical prophets.
They do namedrop religious themes like covenant, flood, halo (mostly associated with bad stuff), so in a sense Master Chief (masonic title) is a anti-christ figure.
I don’t disagree with that and also mentioned similar comparisons to another commenter. My original point is that I believe comparing ancient mythology depictions to hypothetical depictions of modern widely practiced religions is a false equivalency. I think a game that depicts recognizable significant events and figures of any modern practiced religion as characters you can fight and beat as a some random guy would see a lot of general backlash. Like I’m sure EA decided they were going to make “Biblical Boxing” or “Islamic Ice Hockey” people would be offended but they’re not doing that or when it does happen its censored like in the SMT games. They’re fine making God of War, Zau and Flintlock with gods/mytholgoies that won’t offend large swathes of the accessible population.
Like in TLOU 2, you cannot shoot anything in the synagogue and the whole segment is teaching you about Judaism.
The only game that I can think of with any over Christian stuff in it is Kingdom come Deliverance.
nah i'd say that game is just much too sly for most people to comprehend it, they are "polish" like cpdurtardtrannees are or "duda" apfelbaumsteinberg is, don't agree on that game either.
Religion is usually a vector for race, so attacking norse/greek is just a proxy for white people, and when they attack christians, it's usually a flavor of southern white people (WASP), sometime catholics, never black christians.
I definitely understand that pov in a historical fiction game context but I guess unless my memory is fading that bad already or im just that aloof too it I can’t really think of a time where I’d just equivocate religion or fundamentalism to a race in games. Like religion id definitely view as part of a group’s culture but I guess I wouldn’t automatically add race on top. Like when you run into the Klan in RDR2 I wouldn’t automatically think their other attributes are bad because you play as a white dude with a bunch of other mostly accepting white dudes and you also have friendly Christians in your group too.
” it I can’t really think of a time where I’d just equivocate religion or fundamentalism to a race in games.”
This is mostly unconscious stuff, but a recent example is the church massacre in the movie kingsman, where the bigoted white church goers got mind controlled into becoming violent freaks.
“Like when you run into the Klan in RDR2 I wouldn’t automatically think their other attributes are bad because you play as a white dude with a bunch of other mostly accepting white dudes and you also have friendly Christians in your group too.”
It’s not so much what you think is bad or not, they don’t portray other racial extremists like Black Panthers, Jewish Defense League, etc in gaming or movies. And if they do they portray it as good people.
Its funny you mention Kingsman because I know the scene youre talking about but have not to sat to watch the whole movie. I could see that but if they are mind controlled by another party, why would anyone associate them as worse through their actions in this movie. The Klan was definitely an extreme example but it is the only antagonistic group I can think of that is associated with a modern religion in gaming outside of Op4 in Military Themed Shooters like COD4. I’d def have to research the BP or JDL for references. But ultimately I was saying that there is not really a popular game that has you interact with figures in a modern mythos or religion in the same way you do in the god of war games which is why people have less antagonism towards the changes in it.
” I could see that but if they are mind controlled by another party, why would anyone associate them as worse through their actions in this movie.”
The mind control was just an excuse for killing them, the agent sent there to investigate the church was mind controlled as well, and killed them all due to his training. Bottom line is the imagery of bigoted white people being killed, that’s the first impression people associate, it’s subconscious stuff, with a chilling effect.
I think I’d have to see it then. It just seems odd that a British spy thriller would include a section like that targeted at an american group.
"Hindus are peaceful but don't tolerate mistreatment of their gods"
Well, what do you say when you find out that these Hindu dindus are threatening and murdering Christians with knives and burning churches all over silly reasons 🤷🏻‍♂️
They also surround any foreign woman that visits India and proceed to violate her.
Aren't those indians? They suck zionist d0ng, so the media don't bother demonizing them, they suck by and large.
Agreed Indians are the biggest bootlickers thats why they are elite's favorite !
They bootlick anyone who doesn't hate them because everyone thinks they're gross.
Just to let you know, I hate them and Pakis more than Arabs.
Fck those dirty monkeys. The only ethnicity I hate more than Arabs are Indians and Pakis.
Didn't hindus complain about the way shiva is portrayed in those games and Square Enix toned her look down?
On the plus side, the triggering that the fix mods will cause will be hilarious.
Agreed, it's going to be quite entertaining. Can't wait!
Will modders still bother with the usual routine of posting it on nexus/moddb/gamebanana, getting banned same day(Nexus) or some weeks later (moddb) then uploading on based mods?
I hope any mod of this kind gets banned!
Nexus has to be alert!
Hope? It's already standard pratice, your trolling is just weak.
And judaism is mostly out of radar, except for some weird japanese anime or games that focus on kabbalah mysticism.
which 77 does, tarot is kabbalistic, weird buddhistic bent to it in that game. Trans-humanism is there, this is the next evolution of tranneeism, teenage mutant ninja turtles refers to "turtles" in the slang, hidden trannees.
Abrahamic religons are beneath the white race. Are you some sort of Jew rat?
yes and mauler attacked synthetic man for correctly noticing what the game is about while he is a moron who cant notice crap. The game had athony burch who said he would make kratos stay and do gay stuff. Come on. Even the creator of god of war did not like what they did with the game.
Mauler and his co are bunch of fake nerds that talk down on people ad nauseum but cant take minor criticism . After Synthetic man fiasco i really believe these people are involved with bigger network as they regurgitate the same talking points ( RK outpost , Geeks and gamers , Nerderotic , Critical drinker etc )
They all seem like controlled opposition to me. There are only very few real ones out there. Synthetic Man is one of them. American Krogan is another, but after doing the Fallout 4 mod that takes out the nonsensical diversity and writing from the game, he pretty much retired sadly.
What do you think of Side Scrollers? Have you watched it? Craig claims to be against having certain stuff in games but then he lets bundles of sticks and other nut jobs on his show. He has also stated that he has no problem with the gheys.
I have seen him defend people like shortfatotaku that cheered when Trump was shot.
I remember Craig from the good old days of Screw Attack back when Game Trailers existed. He made pretty entertaining non-political, video game focused content back then. Then after GT went under I just sort of forgot about him until hearing about Side Scrollers earlier this year. While I'm pleased to see that he's not a hardcore lefty, he seems to be part of the "kosher" conservatives for reasons you mentioned.
While he may not be controlled opposition, he, along with other content creators like him, is sadly part of a group that is holding the rest of us back from finding actual solutions. Center-right and lolbertarianism only gets in the way.
Careful, if you say something negative about FNT or Geeks and Gamers on here, like I did, you will anger a certain individual.
all of these people are friends and appear on each other shows. I like Jeremy and RK outpost and nerdotic is good guy his livestreams are funny but i cant stomach the critical soypussy or the sperg that is mauler and his acolytes.
How can RK outpost be such a dck and not get banned from youtube is beyond me.
Amazing, I love the work SBI is doing for inclusivity!!
One more reason to purchase!
GODNY delivers yet again!
And a good reason to block you!!!
I've been avoiding spoilers for the game until I could play it, so I have no idea what this is about. And I kinda don't want to be spoiled, so I'm not gonna look it up.
Guess I'll just have to see for myself.
They kill Thor and Odin at the end.
Wait, Thor and Odin are in this game?
Oh great. Thanks a lot, buddy.

That guy or whatever it is just here to troll. I doubt they even play games.
I think Negrotech or whatever his username is is also here trolling.
Odin wants god of war’s son for multiverse where blacks live as norse gods. Thor regrets fighting the god of war guy and Odin kills him.
Baldie ends up killing Odin as the final boss of the game.
What happens to Boy?
Nothing, he betrays Odin and fight him at the end with his father. Then he goes on an adventure in Africa or multiverse where the black girl comes from.
And Freya?
She participates in the last fight against Odin then goes on about her business as a strong independent woman I guess.
And Brok and Sindri?
Aren’t these mortal kombat characters?
I thought you actually played the game. Now I’m thinking that you spoilers aren’t really spoilers.
Only a dumb moron would play these games. I spoil it because I hate your guts.
Good. GOOD!
Only your hate can make you strong.
imagine installing this woke trash for 190gb of your space. Also i hate how they do the high 2k crap.
I don't even want to pirate it. I just can't understand how rytarded one must be to pay for these games.
Go to any social media and you'll understand it quite well.
I wasn't too impressed w the one they released for pc a while back, it was muddy looking in places and ran just ok overused resources for what was shown as per most sony ports. I don't follow this series really since ps2 days. 190gb for one game better be gta6 -rdr3 caliber not this stuff.
I assume you played the game on low settings, never seen anything muddy in the entire game, and no I not trying to defend Sony or this game in anyway, but your claims are ridiculous and false.
190GB how big was it on PS4? Ill probably wait to get to this on sale and I still have the prior title to finish first but damn, these devs need to start giving us options to install specific assets because 190 is just outrageous.
I tought this game was exclusive to PS5. AAA games are just a burden nowadays, a mid range game is usually 30 gb which i already find too much, they should go back to making games for PS3/Xbox 360 standards and API and add higher assets as a optional download.
Definitely agree there about optional downloads for specific assets. I only know its on ps4 because a friend of mine who loves the whole series said it would be his third time purchasing it. I almost made fun of him for it before he said its the same for him as it was the rest of us and all the times we bought Skyrim multiple times. Thankfully there are still indie titles who can still make great games that don’t go too far like another crab’s treasure that I recently got into and it’s under 10gb too.
“as it was the rest of us and all the times we bought Skyrim multiple times.”
Lol, who’s we? I haven’t bought Skyrim a single time, once upon a time i pirated a total conversion called Endereal, but i dropped it a few hours in.
my bad, he had meant the rest of us in the call in reference to a few of us buying games a couple of times on the different platforms as they released through the years. I know I’ve bought skyrim like 5 times and fallout 4 at 3 times.
Honestly i would be ashamed having to admit that, what’s the purpose of buying same thing 5 times? Only time i did this was with the game Elite Dangerous which i own in 2 platforms, but 1 platform i got the game for free and the other i bought a deluxe edition at a discount so i could get an expansion i didn’t own.
In retrospect it is quite silly but I know my younger selves were able to squarely justify it each time. The first time was at release. The second time was for the 8th gen upgrade since there wasn’t backwards compatibility at the time. The third time was when I started doing more gaming on a rig. The fourth time was for the special edition upgrade. The fifth was definitely a waste and for the anniversary update on GOG.
it looked exactly like the 1st new GOW, so why to change the system req?
SBI wokeness leaves less time for optimization.
"ultimate experience" 60 fps. Scoff.
Not a problem, as long as there is no B$ PSN requirement for SP on the PC.
190 GB

190GB?! Let me guess, poorly compressed cutscenes dubbed in multiple languages and language packs that you cannot opt out of installing. Also, account for playstation network required… for a singleplayer game. Yeah fudge off soyny.
"Just buy a new SSD", it's the cope mentality that makes devs entitled to screw us, or at least the people still engaged with this slop.
IMO that doesn't even really apply because 190GB is 190GB whether it's on an SSD or an HDD. These mofos need to learn how to intelligently compress textures, audio and video and not include all the languages in the world.
and repackers usually can slice it up only for what you need want, even downgraded cutscene video res and such.
Correct. They really shouldn't have to do this though. It should be up to the developers but they can't seem to be bothered to do it for some reason.
They don't do like that nowadays, all repacks today are of the lossless variety. Once upon a time they would repack a game without music, cutscenes, etc.
No they still do this, fhd, 720p options are in some of the bigger games not all of them but they still do it. Kaos and others go even further like you're saying in some instances.
Most games nowadays don’t have video cutscenes.
They stopped reccomending HDD a long time ago.
They know how to compress textures, they just don't wanna bother.
If you even want to play this… thing, you can always pick one of those sweet repacks that brings a single language pack.
Repacks are only worthy due to less download time, once you unpack it will be almost the same HD space.
Some games do not make you download all the language packs. This should be standard.
How much space does language packs take? I don't think it's that much, or at least it used to not be much.
once again I'll inform you. Some games have over 6gb PER language added so if you get the whole game w all the languages it can add 40gb+, it's one of the common things repackers split up to save space for dling. If you get downgraded videos and don't get bonuses and other stuff the game installs even lower sized then what the steam page says.
The bonus stuff is in most cases just 100 mb. Multilanguage games in the Xbox 360 era was 10 gb at most.
DEID
190GB, ahahaha. Insane.
90% are boring cutscenes.
This is the reason I built my new rig. And I'm so glad I planned well. I have my 4080 Super, which will now be able to really stretch it's legs. I have my second NVME for game installs. And I have my Bose QC Ultra's for beaming the audio directly to my brain.

I think these requirements are very high considering the graphics in this game. The PS4 only had 1.8TF. For many years I was able to max out PS4 games on my 3.2TF GTX680 at 1080p. On my 1080ti (6x more TF compared to the PS4) even 4K 60fps was possible with maxed out settings. Now even 52TF 4080S (28x faster GPU) can barely run PS4 ports on PC at 4K. Even some RT games run much better on my 4080S than these latest PS4 ports and people over interned are still praising these PS4 ports on PC.
That's because on consoles, you have to eek every last bit of performance out of mid-range hardware (often times, outdated hardware). So you'll often get better "relative" and optimized performance.
But the graphics in the game aren't going to be the same as they are on PC. The graphics will be much better. That was the way it was with the first God of War port. And that's one of the reasons I didn't buy a PS5. I don't want 4K that looks like upscaled 1080p, running at 30 fps. Is there a resource hit/gap? Yes. Do I really care if it gets me a great looking game at playable framerates? No.
When I read/hear that the game on PC looks much better, I'm thinking of games like Cyberpunk (massively better lighting and assets quality). Some games on PC in the past even looked like a different game (they had different levels) compared to the console version, and I could actually say that they looked much better.
The first God of War on PC had some additional settings, but even in static screenshots I had a hard time noticing what they improved. I thought I was playing the same game, just with a higher resolution and frame rate, so from my perspective the difference between console and PC version was very small.
Supposedly the minimum settings for GOW Ragnarok are meant to replicate the PS4 experience, but GTX1060 is 3-4 times faster than the PS4 GPU. As for maxed out settings even 11TF 1080ti (my OC'ed asus strix run at 14TF out of the box) should have the power to run PS4 games at 4K with much higher settings. When I had 1080Ti I could play PS4 games at 4K with maxed out settings. Now I have 28x times faster GPU than the PS4 and theoretically I should he able to max out these PS4 ports at 16K, yet I barely get 4K 60fps in games like Ghost Of Tsushima. I can accept high requirements but I would expect to see some massive difference (RT or PT) that can justify much higher requirements, not just a little bit higher draw distance and texture settings that barely tanks performance anyway.
The question is why are you talking about the PS4 at all, this game is a PS5 exclusive.
No to mention is way easier to optimize games on consoles, not only due to the APIs but because they closed platforms.

Did those sites banned you because of the username?
Are you talking about my profile? No, they banned me because their mods want only approved opinions to be posted in the comment section. If you don’t toe the line, you trigger too many people and you get banned.
Their loss. Listening to opposing views is critical to reaching reasoned opinions.
First game (2018), shills said you were taught how to be a good father by playing it, now in the second one the brat wants a fuc*ing god of war to be a better man. And the game has a negre*s in the middle of a Nordic mythology setting.
190 GB not in 190 years plus its woke asf, I liked old Kratos of the old games, the first GoW with Atreus was definitely good , however I always saw Kratos as a solo guy and not much of a dad (I still dont.t Ragnarok just ain't all that good plus the race swapping of that lil girl is just gross.
and once again dear gamers ; use Losseless Scaling app to get double fps!
Set your monitor to 120Hz and capp the fps to 60fps ( on the settings your card can constantley run 60fps ) and the app will render the game in 120Hz without microstutter … as John would say then ;
Enjoy !
The most important spec wasn't mentioned on the post, which is a shame, John.
The thing will need also a brainless gaymer in order to enjoy it.
Cheers
200GB for a cutscene simulator.
Watching it on youtube is cheaper and you miss out on nothing.
It also requires AIDS and room temperature IQ.
190 GB, ok then. BET!
^<<<<<< What I just said made 0 sense. Just as this or any game being 190 GBs. Madness hath claim thee.
I look forward to seeing what the people on based mods do to this.
I boycotted those games because I think Kratos would demand an abortion instead of that ugly child
