Here are the PC specs you need

God of War (2018) has finally arrived on PC after four years. But is your PC up to the task of handling Norse gods? Check out these God of War system requirements to find out.

We have discovered all the PC requirements to get your God of War game up and running. We'll tell you the minimum, recommended, high, and ultra specs, so you know what you need to make the experience even better, whatever your performance targets.

Minimum requirements (720p at 30fps)

Looking at the minimum specs, you don't need a particularly powerful PC to run God of War at its lowest settings, but you won't be able to experience some of the finer details of the graphics.

Luckily, the processor and graphics card are very budget-friendly, and chances are you'll meet these requirements if you already own a gaming PC.

The 70GB of storage space is where some people may run into a problem. However, you can always purchase a new SSD, as recommended, or an external storage device.

Recommended configuration (1080p at 30fps)

The official minimum requirements are really only capable of 720p resolution, which is very low considering most screens are at least Full HD now. So if you want to play God of War at 1080p with 30fps performance, check out the specs above.

As for your processor, the Intel i5-6600k and AMD Ryzen 5 2400G are relatively old, so you may find that your PC already meets these requirements, especially if it's a gaming PC. more recent.

GPUs might be a bit trickier, as Santa Monica Studio is a bit more demanding with the specs here than the "minimum requirements", but they still demand low-end graphics power, so most systems should be able to face here, especially if you bought your PC within the last two years.

High requirements (1080p at 60fps)

If you're the kind of gamer who cares about frame rate, you might want to play God of War at 60fps instead of 30fps, which will result in smoother motion. Fortunately, Santa Monica Studio provided the God of War system requirements to achieve this.

The processors still aren't the latest, which means you probably won't have to break the bank if you need to upgrade, depending on where you buy it.

The recommended GPUs are the ones you'll likely need to upgrade to, with the AMD RX 5600 XT releasing recently in 2020. One of the other hurdles surrounding graphics cards has been constant shortages and stock issues, so you'll have to maybe shop around if you're a new graphics card.

However, the Nvidia GTX 1070 was released in 2016, which might be a bit easier to get your hands on, provided you're willing to side with Team Green.

Ultra requirements (4K at 60fps)

And finally, here's what Santa Monica Studios recommends if you want to play God of War in 4K at 60fps on your PC.

The processors have been increased; The Intel i9-990k is a powerhouse when it comes to gaming. It's not cheap though, with pricing usually starting around the £500 mark, so you'll need to be prepared to splash the cash to experience Kratos in its best form.

The graphic side is also noble; the Nvidia RTX 3080 is one of the company's newest GPUs and will cost over £500. The AMD RX 6800 XT is the upgraded version of the AMD RX 6800 and again offers superior graphics for a premium price.

Unless you're already familiar with upgrading your PC or bought a new one very recently, we don't expect you to meet these specs. That said, these recommended specs are for playing God of War at Ultra Graphics settings, so it's still possible to play it at 4K with a weaker PC if you're willing to lower those settings.
