There are rumors about the game from Sony Santa Monica Studio that don’t quite fit with the recently mentioned change in Sony’s strategy, so we have to ask: are they really that unsure of what to do?

Over on Twitter, Silknigth posted about when the second episode of God of War’s northern adventures (which was released on November 9, 2022 for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4) might appear on PC. A surprising thing was posted by the leaker, who was last accurate about the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima. He says that Kratos and Atreus could appear on PC in the first quarter of 2025, so by then Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5000 and AMD’s Radeon RX 8000 graphics cards could be in stores, meaning the game could take advantage of the capabilities of Blackwell and RDNA 4 architectures.

Silknigth doubts that God of War: Ragnarok will make it to Steam or the Epic Games Store any sooner than that, but if it does make it to Valve and Epic Games’ platform towards the end of 2024, it should be taken as a gift. That said, more PlayStation Studios products will be making their way to PC desktops in 2024: Horizon Forbidden West is coming this week, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on May 16, and there’s likely to be a PC port of The Last of Us Part II Remastered and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (the latter of which is essentially finishing development later this month).

But if God of War: Ragnarök really isn’t coming until 2025, then Sony’s claim that it wants a more aggressive multiplatform strategy doesn’t seem so serious, since it would take more than two years to get the game from the PlayStation platform(s) to the PC. That’s not a short period of time, and while it’s understandable that they want to boost console sales this way because of the exclusivity, it may be too long.

This is all unofficial.

Perhaps a PC version, but not until the first quarter of 2025, if it arrives earlier, it's a gift, but I doubt it. https://t.co/Gb0BEgsjBR
