God Of War: Ragnarök's PC Port Unveiled Huge God-Like File Size

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt and a hard drive brimming with countless games, I must say the storage requirements for God of War: Ragnarök have left me scratching my head. 190GB? That’s more than what it took to store the entire library of the British Museum! Granted, Kratos’ next adventure across the Nine Realms is nothing short of epic, but I fear that my trusty gaming rig might not be able to handle such a colossal download.


God of War: Ragnarök, a highly praised action-adventure game by Santa Monica Studio, has recently unveiled its PC system requirements before its anticipated release in September 2024. Originally launched for PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles in November 2022, the game is now set to invade PCs through both Epic Games Store and Steam. However, one requirement stands out as particularly demanding, potentially causing tremors even in the Nine Realms.

As a seasoned gamer with a library of games spanning decades, I can attest to the growing sizes of video games, especially those boasting immersive worlds and cinematic experiences like God of War: Ragnarök. Given my limited storage space on my gaming PC, I find myself constantly juggling games and freeing up room for new releases. The thought of having to clear even more storage to download this upcoming adventure with Kratos and Atreus is a daunting one. But the allure of exploring the Nine Realms and witnessing the prophesied battle that will supposedly end the world, as Odin prepares for it, makes the task worthwhile. I eagerly await the day when I can immerse myself in this epic story, even if it means making some tough choices about which games to keep and which to let go.

More recently, Santa Monica Studio unveiled the PC specifications for the upcoming port of God of War: Ragnarök, initially announced during the PlayStation State of Play in May 2024. Approximately a month following its release, these specifications reveal essential information such as compatibility with “top-tier graphics cards,” and an update to the game’s storage demands.

As an enthusiastic gamer, I wanted to share some exciting news about the upcoming PC version of this game. To run it smoothly on your computer, you’ll need roughly 190 GB of storage space for both the minimum and recommended requirements. That’s twice as much as its PlayStation versions! This could only mean one thing – there are likely significant improvements added to the PC port at launch compared to its console counterpart. I can hardly wait!

As a devoted fan, I must share some insights about God of War: Ragnarök that might impact our gaming experience. At launch, it won’t be Steam Deck verified as per its Steam listing, which could be slightly disheartening for us Steam Deck owners. On the other hand, to enjoy God of War: Ragnarök, you’ll need an active PlayStation Network (PSN) account. This requirement has been under scrutiny recently due to the controversy surrounding Helldivers 2.
