In a YouTube video uploaded to the Nvidia GeForce channel, some footage from the up-and-coming God of War gives a general, if brief, overview of what this version of the game will look like on PC. The 34-second clip intends to show the company’s own graphical technology, as well as tease some of the gameplay itself. According to a report from DSO Gaming, the release will support DUALSHOCK 4 and DualSense wireless controllers, which will be good news for fans who prefer a controller over mouse and keyboard, especially for third person games.

In particular, the footage aims to show off Nvidia’s low latency Reflex technology, which a side-by-side comparison in the footage demonstrates. In the clip, it shows that, with Reflex turned off, Kratos succumbs to an attack from the beast he’s fighting. While with it turned on, he’s able to dodge out of the way in time, essentially showing that players will be able to time moves better. It’s worth noting, however, that, according to the video description, the footage was captured on an Nvidia 30-series GPU and G-SYNC monitors.
On top of that, the report from DSO goes on to say that God of War on PC will support Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling upscaling technology, something that has become an industry standard lately. This AI-driven software enables the redrawing of pixels to make it comparable to higher resolutions being run natively. In general, the gameplay footage gives a brief insight into what the PC port of the game will look like, but mainly seems to want to show off Nvidia’s own tech.
As for the series itself, there have been leaks about a possible God of War Ragnarok release date, which places the launch on September 30, 2022, though this has yet to be confirmed. If this is true, this year is shaping up to be quite an exciting time for fans of the God of War franchise.
God of War is available on PS4, and comes to PC on January 14, 2022.
