Can I play God of War on PS5?
Yes. God of War Ragnarok has a native PS5 version, with a 4K mode targeting 30 frames per second and a mode targeting 60, and is "PS5 Pro Enhanced"; PS4 owners can buy a discounted digital upgrade. God of War (2018) is a PS4 game that plays on PS5, where PlayStation notes some features may be missing. God of War Sons of Sparta is a PS5 game; its product page also says PS4, but every Sony announcement and review says PS5 only. God of War III Remastered is the only Greek trilogy game you can play on PS5, as a $19.99 PS4 game. God of War Laufey will be PS5 only, with PS5 Pro enhancements.
Is God of War on PlayStation Plus?
Two are in the game catalog. PlayStation's pages list God of War (2018) and the Standard Edition of God of War Ragnarok as included with PlayStation Plus Extra, as of Nov 4, 2026; Ragnarok joined Extra and Premium on Jan 21, 2025, Kotaku reported. Since Valhalla is a free update for Ragnarok, it comes with it. God of War III Remastered is in Premium's Classics Catalog. Sons of Sparta is not in the catalog, but streaming it to a PS5 or PS Portal needs Premium. Catalog games can leave PlayStation Plus, so check the store before planning around it.
Can I play God of War on PC?
Two of them. God of War (2018) came to Steam on Jan 14, 2022 and God of War Ragnarok on Sep 19, 2024, both ported with Jetpack Interactive and both also on the Epic Games Store. The PC Ragnarok includes Valhalla in every edition, and Sony made its PlayStation Network sign-in optional on Jan 29, 2025. Steam players rate them highly: 96% of 61,251 English reviews positive for God of War and 89% of 16,542 for Ragnarok, on Nov 4, 2026. No Greek-era game and no Sons of Sparta is on PC. Hardware needs are on God of War PC Requirements.
God of War Laufey has no PC version announced as of Nov 4, 2026. The earlier Norse games reached PC almost four years and almost two years after their console launches, but Sony has said nothing about Laufey; see Laufey Platforms and PC.
How can I play the older Greek games?
Only on the hardware they shipped for, or the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita collections. God of War and God of War II "haven't appeared on a console since the PlayStation 3 era", and playstation.com had no product page for God of War Collection, Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, Origins Collection, God of War III (PS3) or Ascension on Nov 4, 2026. Whether the PS3 and PS Vita versions can still be bought on those consoles' stores was not confirmed. Betrayal was a 2007 Java phone game and is sold nowhere. The planned God of War Trilogy Remake will bring back the first three games, but it is "still very early in development" with no platforms or date. The collections themselves are on God of War Collections and Remasters.
Where can I buy God of War Laufey?
On the PlayStation Store and at retail for PS5. Pre-orders opened on Sep 29, 2026: the Standard Edition is $69.99 on disc or digital, the Digital Deluxe Edition $79.99, and the Collector Box ($149.99, no game inside) is sold only by PlayStation Direct. The Store had already moved the listing to May 20, 2027 on Nov 4, 2026. Editions and bonuses are on Laufey Editions and Pre-Order Bonuses, and the date on Laufey Release Date. The clip is PlayStation's pre-order trailer, whose end card still shows the earlier Feb 16, 2027 date.
