Game facts and channel gameplay
Kratos and Atreus's Norse story, single-player combat, PC controls and graphics features, Steam feedback, and system requirements.
Quick answer
God of War follows Kratos and Atreus through a Norse setting in a single-player action adventure. The PC version lists customizable controls, 21:9 ultrawide support, unlocked frame rates and NVIDIA DLSS and Reflex support on compatible hardware.
This entry moves Kratos from the Greek setting into Norse forests, mountains and caves, with his role as Atreus's father and protector central to the premise. It is the God of War entry shown here, rather than God of War Ragnarök.
Steam describes over-the-shoulder combat with a new main weapon and abilities, and lists single-player play. If you want a shared campaign with a friend, that is a different requirement from what this game offers.
The PC feature list includes 4K resolution on supported hardware, unlocked frame rates and 21:9 ultrawide display support. It also lists graphical settings such as shadow quality and screen-space reflections, alongside DLSS and Reflex on compatible NVIDIA GPUs.
These are supported options, rather than a promise that a minimum-spec machine runs them all at once. Choose your resolution and settings alongside the requirements below; a feature checkbox does not supply a measured frame-rate result.
The published PC controls include DualShock 4, DualSense and other gamepads, plus customizable keyboard-and-mouse bindings. That allows you to choose an input method without treating a particular controller as a required extra purchase.
Steam lists adjustable difficulty, text size, camera comfort, color alternatives and narrated menus among its accessibility features. Those options are useful checks if readability, input or difficulty settings influence whether an action game fits you.
