The PC version of God of War Ragnarök will be released on September 19, 2024. Despite the original PS5 version receiving high reviews averaging 94/100, it has faced harsh criticism from users on Steam (currently holding a mixed review score of 68% positive at the time of writing).
One of the main criticisms of God of War Ragnarök on PC is the requirement of a PlayStation Network (PSN) account before being able to access the game. This is not a common practice among PC gamers who believe that single-player games should be accessible without such constraints. Additionally, some users who created a PSN account encountered difficulties in verifying their identities through phone verification, receiving error messages and facing other issues.
Furthermore, another group of users reported performance issues with the PC version of the game, including poor frame rates and various graphical bugs.
The recurring issue of PC games like PlayStation versions enforcing the use of PSN accounts and facing backlash has been ongoing since titles like Helldivers 2 and Ghost of Tsushima.
