God of War Ragnarok is next on the list of PC ports from PlayStation. The game is finally headed to the platform multiple years after its predecessor exploded on PC, and there is palpable excitement ahead of this release.

PlayStation has also shared a list of official system requirements today. The PC port seems to be quite optimized, with the system requirements pointing to another well-rounded translation from PlayStation to PC.

Why it matters: Thanks to Nixxes Software, PlayStation has delivered high-quality PC releases one after another. After Horizon Forbidden West, the gaming giant seems to have another solid release on its hands.

According to PlayStation, the game can run well on hardware like the RTX 2060 Super.

Pairing this GPU with a CPU like the Ryzen 5 3600 should lead to 1080p 60FPS gameplay at medium settings. This is a better experience than the base PS4 iteration of the title.

God of War Ragnarok does not need too much power at 1440p, either. The requirements point to an RTX 3070/ RX 6800 and i7-7700K/ Ryzen 7 2700X combination for 60FPS at high settings.

All in all, the PC port seems to run well without being too demanding. Even at 4K ultra, the recommended settings list an RTX 4070 Ti, though an RTX 3080 Ti can also work at the same resolution when using high settings.

Finally, PC gamers should prepare their SSDs since the title is said to take up nearly 200GB of storage.

It is important to note that God of War Ragnarok was originally designed for the PS4. This may be one of the reasons for the system requirements being fairly light. However, PC users will receive the best version of this title possible.

Santa Monica’s latest release arrives on PC later next month. As the release date approaches, PC gamers should note that it won’t be supported across all Steam regions.

Like recent PlayStation ports, this title will be limited to regions with PSN support.
