The epic God of War is set to make its PC debut on January 14, 2022, bringing the Playstation exclusive to a new audience. And it's doing so in style, with improved visuals and support for both NVIDIA DLSS rendering and NVIDIA Reflex for low latency performance. Alongside a new 4K 60fps trailer we've also got the hardware requirements outlined by developer Santa Monic Studio.
But first, the trailer. A nice little reminder of just how great it looks.
His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to surviveā¦ and teach his son to do the same.
High Fidelity Graphics Striking visuals enhanced on PC. Enjoy true 4K resolution, on supported devices, with unlocked framerates for peak performance. Dial in your settings via a wide range of graphical presets and options including higher resolution shadows, improved screen space reflections, the addition of GTAO and SSDO, and much more.
NVIDIA DLSS and Reflex Support Quality meets performance. Harness the AI power of NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) to boost frame rates and generate beautiful, sharp images on select Nvidia GPUs. Utilize NVIDIA Reflex low latency technology allowing you to react quicker and hit harder combos with the responsive gameplay you crave on GeForce GPUs.
Controls Customisation Play your way. With support for the DUALSHOCK 4 and DUALSENSE wireless controllers, a wide range of other gamepads, and fully customizable bindings for mouse and keyboard, you have the power to fine-tune every action to match your playstyle.
For the tech nerds out there the improved 4K assets will be paired with more detailed shadows, improved reflections, Ground Truth Ambient Occlusion (GTAO), and Screen Space Directional Occlusion (SSDO). Basically stuff that will make God of War look incredible on PC. In addition to DLSS, the PC version will also support AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR).
The addition of NVIDIA Reflex is very cool as it's a tech that reduces system latency for smooth input -- something God of War's action will definitely benefit from. And on that note here are the hardware requirements.
As per above a GeForce GTX 1060 is recommended for PS4-like 1080p 30fps performance (with detail settings set to 'Original'), with a GeForce RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT required for 4K 60fps 'Ultra' action.
