Grace Orlady details:
Our primary goal when bringing God of War to PC was to highlight the exceptional content the team created and leverage the powerful hardware that the platform offers to create a uniquely breathtaking and high-performance version of the game.
You’ll be able to enjoy the full potential of our cinematic, no-cut camera as it follows Kratos and Atreus across the realms with the option of true 4k resolution, on supported devices, and unlocked framerates.
Apart from 4K, and unlocked framerates, the PC release of God of War will also feature improved screen space reflections, enhancements to the ambient occlusion pipeline with GTAO and SSDO. It will also support NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling or DLSS for short on RTX compatible GPUs. Apart from the DLSS, the title will also have NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency technology which delivers a more responsive experience allowing you to react quickly while playing the game.
The game will also support 21:9 ultra-widescreen support monitors, robust controller support, and keyboard mapping. Both Dualshock 4 and DualSense controllers will be supported on PC as well. The PC version will also come with the following digital content:
- Death’s Vow Armor Sets for Kratos and Atreus
- Exile’s Guardian Shield Skin
- Buckler of the Forge Shield Skin
- Shining Elven Soul Shield Skin
- Dökkenshieldr Shield Skin
