Two days ago, Sony announced that God of War will be coming to PC on January 14th, 2022. And below you can find the first graphics comparison video between the PC and the PS5 versions.
Created by Cycu1, this video compares identical scenes from the recently released PC trailer and PS5. Thus, it can give you an idea of the graphical differences between these two versions.
As Santa Monica Studio has stated, the PC version will support GTAO, SSDO & NVIDIA DLSS. Moreover, it can run at native 4K, and will have higher resolution shadows and improved screen-space reflections.
Now as we can see, there are scenes in which the PC version looks more realistic and better than the PS5 version. However, I can also notice some scenes in which the PS5 version looks better (mainly due to its more cinematic lighting). For instance, at the 6:00 mark, the global illumination and bounce lighting appear to be better (and more “in-your-face“) in PS5. On the other hand, the PC version looks really flat here.
As always, the PC footage in this first trailer does not represent the quality of the final version. That’s why I used the word “early“. However, I don’t know whether Santa Monica Studio will further improve/enhance the PC visuals. What I do know, though, is that the PC build used in the PC trailer is a bit rough.
Enjoy the comparison and stay tuned for more!

Textures are really low resolution. Lighting also look old because characters use different lighting than environment. But game use DirectX 11 so modders will easy add better textures and fix lighting with Marty Mcfly ray tracing reshade plugin
Why? If Sony released game on Microsoft Windows then it will release it also on Xbox. Xbox is just a PC with Windows 10.
Sony need money from users of Microsoft platforms. Few weeks ago they released MLB 21 on both PC and Xbox on day one in Game Pass. All Sony games will be soon on Microsoft platforms because PS5 sells worse than PS4. Both MS platforms are much stronger in 2021 than in 2013 and soon Windows will have also Direct Storage
BTW. Xbox also support Stadia and GeForce Now because console have Google Chrome browser (Edge). So you can use all streaming services that works on Google Chrome
Sony’s first party exclusives, like Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Uncharted 4, and God of War are NOT coming to Xbox.
MLB 21 is first party game made by Sony internal studio. For many years those games was only on Playstation and now they are also on Xbox. All other games from Sony will be released sooner or later on Xbox just like MLB 21
With those blurred textures? Are you joking? Wait few weeks for mods with better textures and fixed lighting by raytracing reshade
Look at those textures and compare then to modern games. This game was designed for old consoles with 3 GB free memory for textures.
You are freaking delusional as usual. I have the game on PlayStation 4 and in fact I’m playing it this week and it has better textures than probably 90% of games out there.
Holy smokes, the fps crappiness on PS5 is horrendous, especially when side by side with the PC. sheesh.
dont mind me just once again pointing out that this game isnt great and the sony fanboy who kept posting here 10/10 scores when it came out wont be surprised to find out that we are not gloating that we are getting this and he should get a better taste in games.
but I just want the attention anyway…
i dont, you replied moron.
It’s one of the greatest games ever made. You are either a PC fanboy or you don’t have a taste in games.
lol what
why is it such a great game?
well said, completely agreed. Why ruin the camera and have over the shoulder focus so you cant see when you get attack and they need to put indicator arrows to tell you that there is an enemy behind you. If it aint broke dont fix it. Then you got the rpg mechanics why does every game need leveled loot and missions? Having played this and horizon, its clear that sony studios aint any better than the rest of the AAA industry, they are just given more time to polish because sony relies on good exclusives to sell the console. The early exclusives like killzone shadowfall, driveclub and the order 1886 were trash, only infamous second sun worked and play well so they didnt want a repeat of that. and even then you can end up with days gone which was a mess on release. Sony has no talent anymore, their best game ghost of weebishuma is just assasin creed in japan. Also you are right about the fact nothing looks nordic, everyone looks like a hobo, they made the characters unattractive too, plus how awful they are, i guess thats the point of the woke isnt it? To write awful characters so they are “reallistic” and the ending of the game is a “to be continued” the game is a new tomb raider with worse camera and no guns, it plays exactly like them but it has a leveling and loot system, why does every game need to be like diablo godamn it?
The less is said about the new woke sequel the better.
Greatest game Playstation fans allowed to have doesn’t equal Greatest game ever made.
I don’t even think you’ve even played it, you didn’t name anything you couldn’t take from videos, didn’t name a single area or boss. Valkyrie Queen Sigrun is one of the best bosses ever made in my opinion. Absolutely insanely complex move-set, one of the hardest fights in anything on hardest difficulty. Huge build up to it, having to kill all 8 lesser Valkyries who all show you a part of the queen’s move set. If you didn’t enjoy the Sigrun fight, you shouldn’t be talking to anyone about taste.
Hey bud you might wanna throw a heads up TLDR before going on, on a spree. It kinda wreaks of condescending-introvert-ism.
and you might wanna stop chris channing you mom.
Still a hideous vulgar little basement kid I see. So pathetic. You haven’t matured these past years one bit. I actually feel sorry for you kid. I hope you make it past your 30s cause it’s gonna be one hell of a ride..
what years?
dmc 5 makes soy of war look like a joke.

What a loser.
You can post that all you want, I know you support pae*ophilia because you refuse to denounce white ped*s. Inbred. Meanwhile I wholeheartedly denounce and condemn anyone who does what those articles mentioned to kids.
I wonder what sort of skeletons you have in your closet. Some stormcucks are furries, pedos(you), likes futa… degeneracy runs in your midst.
ok ill post and call you a k3ke
what a jew
wow it has a good boss, one entire good boss, the game is good now, wow..idiot.
eat sht clown.
Come and do it, coward. I want to see you try.
i cant your country israel requires dna test to be accepted.
I thought so, you are a coward. A weak little keyboard warrior with nothing in his life.
Go fail elsewhere.
but israel has dna tests to get in.
No it doesn’t. You really love eating that commie and Islamic propaganda.
yeah it does, you have to prove you are jewish.
Ah, then why many, many, many people visit that place that are not Jewish? I mean, the tourist industry in there, with the historical Jewish sites for people to visit is massive. Christians, muslims, hindus, buddhists, atheists all go there.
You are just afraid, or you are too fat to leave your chair.
zionist k3ke
you literally have a dna test requirement to become a citizen you fcking jew.
says the zionist murder
you are a k3ke
there is no israel only palestine.
If it’s not very good then Sony is trying to scr*w PC gamers. It’s listed for $50 on Steam.
It was totally expected. If you think Japanese sans are after anything else than money, you are naive my man.
lol sony playstation has moved its hq to california my dude.
Lmao like it matters, the capital goes straight to Japan. Execs are Japanese.
but for how long?
I’m glad to see after all these years that people still don’t like ur a$$ or your stoopid opinion. Thank god I’m not the only one lol I can go back to blocking you lol
i got double the upvotes than downvotes, are you the moron who posted the 10/10 pics for daddy of war?
Yep, he is utterly reta*ded and fails at most games. Every time I read his name I laugh at how he thought Elex was hard.
you are still a baby killer with an apartheid against palestine
Have you even tried a console exclusive in your life or are you being a hypocrite? Just asking.
There is no PS5 version, it’s the PS4 version with a 60 fps patch and 0 changes to visuals or resolution.
This is why textures are so low quality. PS4 had only 8 GB of memory and 3 GB was used by system. Only 5 GB was available for games so probably less than 3 GB was used for graphics
Can’t wait to see this game fixed by mods – with high resolution textures and better lighting added by reshade Marty Mcfly plugin
Resolution runs at or close to 4k on the PS5. Not saying you were necessarily wrong, but the game doesn’t do that as consistently on the PS4 so there is *technically* some resolution difference between PS4 pro and PS5, however it is rather irrelevant to this comparison
No, it’s same 1440p checkerboarded to 4K as PS4 Pro. It’s not dynamic.
Aside from resolution, PS4 and Pro have graphical parity.
It’s just dishonest to call this a “PS5 comparison” as if the game got any technical upgrades to make use of the hardware, it’s literally running the PS4 game in backward compat and higher framerate.
Kratos and his nipple has never looked better!
PS5 version running at 8fps?
LOL
I remember trying to play this on the PS4 and it was like seeing a slides presentation.
What are you on about? The game is locked 60 on PS5.
Ya and it’s still a stutter fest. lmao.
It just isn’t, it’s 60 and it’s smooth. Why bullshit about stuff that isn’t even true? Are you one of them platform war fruits, aye?
I already own this on ps4. So i’ll gladly take to the high seas for my pc copy since I have already legally paid for the game. Thanks soybean! Just need Last of Us to hit PC then I can huck my ps4 in a dumpster
Oh wow, Let the cheetos flow through you my son.. 😀
Do you even realize the realities of the market? If they released gow4 , it would have sold a third of What the reboot did. As a matter of fact the dmc5 has sold 4 mil by sept 2020 while gow did 20 mil as per articles that came out a few days before. So yes, lets run the franchise into the ground based on gamer entitlement.
All the critisisms that you said only shows that you dont like this particular type of Game . The devs could literally bring you into the team and you wouldnt be able to make a Game you like without turning it into a carbon copy of gow3, for which the times have passed. I passed gow1 and 2 with only using the blades. So your variety is quite a mute point, I’d rather have one good weapon than 98 gimmicky ones. Also the infinite 12 mile dodge in the old games made them a bit too easy.
One point I will agree with you on is the son being quite annoying and the arrows being rather useless besides a very short distraction for enemies.
Anyway, keep on raging in the comments and calling the devs every known swear under the sun, because you know they won’t come here to defend themselves 🙂
Thanks for making my slow night shift a little bit more entertaining.
i legit want all those soydevs dead.
“it would have sold a third of What the reboot did. ”
why you think that?
“All the critisisms that you said only shows that you dont like this particular type of Game ”
god of war isnt the last of us with looter mechanics.
” I’d rather have one good weapon than 98 gimmicky ones.”
you aware this is how the gear works on soy of war? Like its borderlands or something.
Do you even have a single game you like?
you defended cybecrap 2077, shut up
Defending it? Did you miss the part where I criticized it? Of course you did, you fail at Elex.
isnt that how you and me got into this with you simping for the mess that was cybercrap or am i confusing you for someone else?
Did you forget the part where I criticized the rampant bugs? The transgender racer? And criticized you, and the other mor*ns who created fake problems with the game that didn’t exist?
yes, must be arguing with someone else then. So why you downvote all my posts again?
Because it triggers you.
grow up
Says the guy triggered by the downvotes, and too triggered for s*cking in games.
ok clown you want a war?
Do it, coward.
the jews got what they deserved
hitler was right.
oh vey the goym know shut it down.
Still a hideous vulgar little basement kid I see. So pathetic. You haven’t matured after all these years one bit. I actually feel sorry for you kid. I hope you make it past your 30s cause it’s gonna be one hell of a ride.
