It looks like the game should be capable of running on a variety of setups, but as always, if you want to get the most out of God of War’s visuals, you’ll have to run it on some pretty heavy machinery. Additionally, it looks like you’ll want to pick up an SSD if you’d like to play on higher presets. Other features in God of War on PC include NVIDIA Reflex, fully customizable controls, and support for both DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers.
