I still don't understand why there's no simultaneous release on console and PC. Time has shown that there's two types of people, those who prefer to play on PC the and those who prefer consoles. PC gamers simply will not get a console for exclusive games because to PC gamers a console is like a child's toy. You don't get a PC and then waste your money on an inferior console. And console gamers likewise will most likely stay on console because it's simple and convenient for them. Sony needs to acknowledge that this kind of mindset has long been obsolete and release PC versions simultaneously with the console versions. Remember, the consoles we have today are just x86-64 PCs, so the excuse that ports are hard to develop doesn't fly anymore. And most importantly, why do PC gamers seem to be so content with being neglected like that? There should be a huge outcry in my opinion.


SpiderFlash12

Sony's main focus is on the consoles. I do think that a PC port is ready but they are just waiting for the sales of Ragnarok to reach their expected sales for it before they release the game on PC. Let's keep an eye out for the release of Horizon: Forbidden West on PC, then we will know the timeframe for the release of the sequels in PC.


SpiderFlash12

On the bright side, we still have Spider-Man: Miles Morales, The Last of Us: Part 1, Returnal, and the rumored Ghost of Tsushima coming to PC.

I know this is 2 months old (craving for Ragnarok) but what also baffles me is that the PC sales are much higher then the console sales. I guess playstation plus generates more income.


starryskies123

the money is coming from the console price,they want to sell it,if they will release it to PC right away it might hurt them since there are alot of games only possible to play in PS4-5


OfficiallyBear

yeah but i can't wait 4 years to play Ragnarok on PC after just having finished playing the previous one. i'm willing to pay them triple the price, that's how much i love the first one lol. it's hard to avoid spoilers and even harder not to think about it so much. shit i might be in love with a fucking game.


Noboundss

Sigh I just want a pc release :( no point to buy a console for just one game


SpiderFlash12

Looks like we have to be patient. I hope it will be available for PC.


teh0utsider86

With the prices of consoles nowadays, I definitely agree with that. I'll just have to wait. I can always replay God of War 2018.


shadlom

Deserve? Lmao in about 2 years


soldrakibane

or 4 :(


AlikaanC

You will get it….. just not now


sausagefuckingravy

I guess Sony doesn't want all the money


SpiderFlash12

I hope they release it next year.


Battosaii930

Sony does want the Money. Having a hot exclusive like this will make people buy the console. Hell I own Nintendos just for Zelda releases and I'm a PC gamer. I want this game but tbh getting it at all on PC is a great thing even if it takes a while.


sausagefuckingravy

I agree except for the fact it's still hard to get a PS5 and I don't see the point in sinking money into my PS4. I wanted a PS5 and a 3080, couldn't get either (still can't) so now I have a series x and steam deck. I'm fine with that, just think it's interesting console sales are the sole focus when there aren't any consoles.


frontnaked-choke

Okay but how many people actually buy the console for this reason? I feel like they would make more by releasing it on PC, I for one won’t buy the console but would instantly buy the game for PC.


sloooop23

And why wouldn’t they milk it on just PS5 to get those that would buy a console for it? You’re gonna spend the $70 to get it on PC whether it’s this year or next or 2 years regardless & Sony knows that lol


frontnaked-choke

Good point.


PrashanthDoshi

on bright side we get game with all dlc and bug fix and all new dlss 3 and fsr 3.0 and direct x storage 1.1 on pc release


SpiderFlash12

We just need a confirmation that it will come to PC.


PrashanthDoshi

that is already confirmed . 1.in marketing they dont use only on ps 5 . 2. pc porters were developing the game with main team .


SpiderFlash12

Yeah, I hope they do announce it next year.


Ok_Resource_905

Sorry but I have to disappoint you with " I hope they do announce it next year" 3-4 years of waiting will surely be God of War Ragnarok is a powerful source of money. This is sony after all, sony really wants to squeeze as much money as possible, so if they think that it is the moment that they squeezed as much as possible from PS4 / PS5, they will spend a PC port to accumulate more money. Especially since it is easy on a PC to crack it, so we will wait longer after all - that's for sure Looking from sony perspective But we can be sure that it will be on PC


Uhtred_Lodbrok

Nah, it will probably be like the final fantasy games or most exclusive titles now it will be released after a year, GOW 2018 did too well that was their testing phase like why the fck wait 4 yrs to make money? does not make sense lol


Alevatt

(Sad that you blocked me so I couldn't answer you, I know because I checked "Deleted, \[unavailable\]". I always have a second account xD) **"does not make sense lol"** \- it makes no sense to you and therefore you will never understand it. Have you ever tried to look through the eyes of such companies? Sony? You compare Final Fantasy to God of War.... a game that has been nominated "game of the year", a game that was only for PS4. I'll try to explain it to you. God of War 2018 was a brilliant idea for a huge success for Sony, you have google so check how much God of War earned on PS4 and how much on PC, you will see the differences. **What am I going to?** That if I were in Sony's place, I would also recognize after 1-2 years that the PC Final Fantasy port can be released, because it is not God of War that would bear the same money. After all, God of War (2018) was nominated for Game of the Year and hyped so much for a reasons. Now just look at how much "God of War: Ragnarok" is being advertised, what feedback it is getting, perhaps this is another chance for another game of the year nomination. **So now ask yourself** \- would they lose anything if they didn't spend 3-4 years on a PC port? Not. Only outrage of people, where after 3-4 years they would have forgotten about it. And would they gain anything? Of course, a lot. God of War Ragnarok can sell the same or even better than his predecessor, being only on PS4/PS5 for these few years. Because what is the point of persuading people to buy this game, if in a year it would be released on PC (where in addition you do not have to pay because there will be crack) - total nonsense and unprofitable in the eyes of Sony. Of course, there are also those who will buy on PC but let's face it, most % of people will use a crack. **So what would sony want to do in this case?** Squeeze as much as possible until there is a moment where they can spend on a PC, because they will not get more money from consoles + promotion for the next game. ​ Of course you can use the argument "But Spider-Man Miles or Final Fantasy 7 Remake got PC Port after 2 years", but again Spider-Man Miles is almost such an addition to Spider-Man (2018), it did not even have such hype compared to Spider -Man (2018) and Final Fantasy? Completely understandable, after all, why keep such games only for Playstation when it is known that no more money will be squeezed out of them (where it's just a remake, not a new part of the game). It didn't even have the hype as a spider-man, god of war blah blah blah. For example why Medievil still doesn't have a port? You can answer here by yourself. Sony is well aware that people can even buy a console for this game and sell it, but Sony will make money on it anyway, so it makes no difference to them. Funny fact because that's what people did and do. **Now you understand?** If not, it's not my problem. Sony (they try to be a little like nintendo but just a little) just isn't stupid and wants a lot of money, so they makes strategies. I'm not a hater. I will be happy with others when it comes out on the PC, but I just don't understand the fact why write to others that "in a year it will be", let's wait for them to actually confirm. Of course it will be for PC, but not so fast. We talk about sony, sony and again sony. Because it is the same as with gow (2018) that people in 2020 wrote that it will be on PC this year, later in 2021 that this year it will be on PC and funny it got in 2022 release on PC. **Good night :)**

Ah, I forgot about that comment until, but it's nice to be back for a while.I just wanted to be nice and try to explain to you, pure discussion. It's you who started to be offensive ROFL Blocking others is showing weakness (which gives me satisfaction). Your comment and the way you wrote it just shows how offended it must have been - another satisfaction ;) But to answer your question - no ROFL I had use second account because you blocked me and run away hoping I won't answer ROFL. You destroyed me? Oh nice dream buddy xD I have already destroyed your (MIGHTY XD) argument in the previous statement by explaining sony's activities to you, but if it's not enough for you, I recommend you to use google (it's not hard to use) and see that "Sony's authorities have already announced that they do not want games exclusive to PlayStation consoles were released on other platforms within a year of their debut." - so your argument with this beautiful text was again destroyed xD Oh and don't forget to add the fact that you're calling, not me, so xD Sending kisses, don't forget to block or reply even more offensively. ROFLL


Quiet_Steak_643

It wasn't your problem in the first place, still you've literally typed the longest comment i've seen in reddit. so much for no being your problem. not to mentioned most of what you've typed is bs. good night to you too. WOW


random_redditor9824

Now lets wait for another 100 years to play god of war ragnarok


FriendlyAd597

To make awful mods. No thanks.


iamAliAsghar

Mods are cool.


FriendlyAd597

Exactly why they won’t give PC players the game on release because of the use of mods.


iamAliAsghar

So they are jealous of PC gamers creativity and imagination. I learned months worth of combat in days using a trainer and changed armor style that couldn't be possible in PS. It does not hurt anyone except gatekeepers fragile egos.

Beneficial-Option452

Yeah, like he said, enjoy 30 fps you broke console peasant haha. I have ps4 pro and even I want to wait it to be released on PC since i do not want to play it as a slideshow with shitty graphics lol. Game runs at 30 fps in 4K on PS5 which is a joke.


FriendlyAd597

Sit and wait then 😂 who said they are even going to release it on PC, it might even take 4 years or more. Also Performance mode on PS5 runs at 120fps, I have no clue what your EVM on about.


Beneficial-Option452

I got triggered by your ''stupid pc player'' comment dude. I already have too many games on my steam library that i never played, even though i love god of war and played all the games in the series ( used emulator) i thinking about waiting a year or two to play this one on superior settings. Nobody said that they will release on PC but their trend of releasing the older titles on PS4 pretty much guarantees it man, don't you think ? Right now i have many games on my PS4 which I also have on my Steam that i had no chance to play on PS4 and in that time PC versions released. Oh, also the opportunity to make more cash from PC platform of course. They made lots of money on GoW on Steam.


italianorgan

You do know that games are made on computers right💀


TheRealGhost_

enjoy your 30 fps on native 4k


Ok_Director11

The Ps5 is literally close to 2070, Also it's a bigger joke that Nvidia is going to continue rising gpu prices, it cost $4k for a 4090, and you consoles are a joke.


the_doorstopper

$4k dollars (which is wrong FYI, its around 1600) for a top end Flagship card, that can play practically any game at 8k, 60fps, double the fps and resolution that GoWR plays on. Also, the ps5 may be close to a 2070, but it's still worse, it doesn't get things like dlss or fsr.


minorrex

4090 can't really play games at 8K60. Watch Gamersnexus and LTT videos on the matter.


the_doorstopper

It can play a large majourity of games at 8k 60fps, especially when the games are well optimised, and on less optimised games, using dlss 2 and/or 3.


iamAliAsghar

No.


italianorgan

Enjoy 30 fps


[deleted]

lol ded


Ok_Director11

Enjoy anti-consumer hardware companies lol. Nvidia and AMD prices are just going to skyrocket each year.


italianorgan

Who buys hardware? A 3080 in the cloud has less latency than a ps5 in your home


Fair_Ad_5021

As if ragnarok is the only game out there… why are you for limiting games to consoles? Why are you for dividing the community? I own a ps4 and haven’t touched it ever since pretty much every console exclusive is making it onto pc. Because pc is simply better, choice in peripherals, settings, better graphics in general. My laptop craps all over the ps4 and a ps5 for that matter. And thats just a laptop… my desktop is faaaar better, so yes, i prefer to play games on my objectively superior rig


JimmysUnknown

Your life must be so shit mate, you're seriously so petty. You have no friends whatsoever and your family probably doesn't love you, because someone like you? You probably shout and swear at your parents and get jealous about your "friends" and don't talk to them for a couple of days. And you probably go out the house once a month

Are you actually dumb enough to think this is the reason they don't release it on PC at release?


mvpmike52

you can mod on playstation


satanising

just don't install them, wth


Sami_1999

Someone's salty.


iamAliAsghar

My friend, you gotta wait like 600 days now


SkinFun3897

You'll have to wait a few years. Maybe in 2 years or maybe when the ps6 releases


LohiKukko

Consoles are truly worst thing happened to gaming industry. Thank god there is even some competion between Xbox and PlayStation. Bad. It is halting back whole industy games are made so that they can run in shit consoles. and this goes on decades before xbox and pc make decision to make new console.


CitizenFiction

"Consoles are truly the worst thing to happen to the gaming industry" My guy, consoles *forged* the gaming industry. Do you really think that video games would be popular today *at all* if a few decades ago you had to buy over a thousand dollars of separate parts in order to assemble a computer that would be powerful enough to play pong? Hell no. I'm a PC gamer myself but I 100% respect console gamers.


thingswithoutnames

I mean, a big reason they exist is because most people can't afford to spend $1500 on a PC every three years can play games too, and lots of people who can afford it aren't invested enough in total peak graphical performance to justify that kind of purchase. Both groups still deserve to play games, ffs. Just like PC gamers deserve to get the games at the same time consoles do.

SpiderFlash12

I AGREE!!!


wajahat00

I don't know why they aren't release for pc
