About the Game
Enter the Norse realm
His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.
Grasp a second chance
Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world with his son.
Journey to a dark, elemental world of fearsome creatures
From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains and caves of pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.
Engage in visceral, physical combat
With an over the shoulder camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before, fights in God of War™ mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty and grueling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of the God of War series while presenting a vision of conflict that forges new ground in the genre.

New Features

- Some gameplay systems will no longer cause intermittent crashes
- Implemented small object culling to help reduce the number of objects being processed by the CPU

To those not experiencing instances of major framerate drops, please note that this change will not result in a significant improvement to graphical performance.

After patch v1.0.5, we saw a large increase in reports of crashes within our community and the automatic crash-reporting system. The majority of these crashes were all in the same sub-system. We have been investigating this issue continuously since the first reports started coming in.
Today we are enabling the experimental branch for God of War with a possible fix for this particular crash that is most prevalent as 'new' as of v1.0.5. We would love your help in validating this fix if you are willing.
Note that we have not completed our full round of quality assurance testing on this build, so there could be instances of instability that we have not identified yet.
Still, if you're willing to help, please download this new build and let us know how it goes.
To access the experimental branch, follow these steps:
If you do not see the branch in your drop down, please restart your Steam client.

Patch v1.0.6 for God of War is now live
Please restart Steam to receive the update immediately.
Patch Notes
Fixes
- Enabling FSR will now no longer result in blurry/blocky image quality
- Xbox controllers will now have proper joystick sensitivity
- Mouse Precision Mode will no longer cause movement animations to break
New Features
- Added translations for Precision Mode that were not included in patch v1.0.5
- Mouse Precision Mode now supports Aim Assist
In v1.0.5 we added an error message that reported if the game was having issues saving or loading save game files. This message interrupted gameplay and was determined to be ultimately unhelpful for players. We're still investigating reported issues surrounding save game files, but for now we have disabled this error message.
EDIT - 11:15am PST Feb 8th, 2022
We have seen reports of an issue with controller drift after this update.
We have added this to our Known issues while we investigate the cause.
As a temporary fix, please disable Steam Input:
- Open Steam
- Navigate to your game in the library view
- Right-Click God of War
- Select Properties
- Select Controller on the left sidebar
- Under the drop down for “Override for God of War” select “Disable Steam Input”.
We acknowledge that this is not ideal for some controllers and are looking to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
EDIT - 12:15pm PST Feb 8th, 2022
Our team has identified the cause of the controller drift issue and is working on a solution. We do not have a timeline, but we'll update these patch notes once we do.

Patch v1.0.5 for God of War is now live.
Please restart Steam to receive the update immediately
Patch Notes
Fixes
- In-game glyphs will now correctly correspond to the controller type selected in Steam
- Setting the DLSS Sharpening slider to 0 will now properly disable DLSS Sharpening
- Interactions between the game and the taskbar will now work correctly in Borderless Fullscreen
- Game audio should now mute when the application is in the background
- TAA will no longer causes blurriness when the Render Scale is below 100%
- Borderless Fullscreen mode will now not impact visibility in the Task Switcher (Alt+Tab)
- Correct UI elements will now be shown if an action is bound to the mouse wheel
- HDR brightness will no longer be impacted by SDR brightness settings
New Features
- Option to minimize when focus is lost in Borderless Fullscreen
- Error message if the game is unable to open or write to a save file
- Precision mouse mode*
This new mode works by ignoring the default mouse-to-camera conversion implementation. Additional sensitivity fine-tuning can be done by tweaking values in the settings.ini file in the game installation folder. This mode should NOT be used in conjunction with Aim Assist.
Lastly, while we do not have a timeline, we want to communicate that we have identified the primary cause leading to AMD performance problems and are now investigating solutions to resolve this issue.
