God of War Ragnarök builds on everything that developer Sony Santa Monica pioneered in its prior game, introducing new moves such as giving Kratos the ability to pull himself up ledges with the Blades of Chaos. It's also a larger experience, taking players across all Nine Realms with a massive story that was supplemented through the free Valhalla DLC. 

I loved my time with God of War Ragnarök when it first launched on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles back in November 2022, and now that it's coming to PC, it's not one to miss. The PC requirements for God of War Ragnarök are available, so players can check and make sure their rigs are ready before preordering. 

This port has been developed by Jetpack Interactive in partnership with Sony Santa Monica. Jetpack Interactive is the team that ported God of War (2018) to PC, and the team also provided support on God of War Ragnarök's overall development, meaning you can expect a solid port that takes advantage of PC features like ultrawide monitors and DLSS 3.

This CDKeys deal isn't the biggest discount ever, but for a prelaunch sale, it's pretty impressive, and saving a few extra bucks is the perfect reason to go ahead and pull the trigger on one of PlayStation's best games coming over to PC. The list of PlayStation Studios games on PC is growing every year, and this is one of the best yet.

Yes, CDKeys is a trustworthy retailer. While there are many places online selling game codes that you shouldn't trust, CDKeys has a proven reputation and you should use them to try and find discounts on the best PC games

Is God of War Ragnarök playable on Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go?

Per God of War Ragnarök's PC requirements, it should function smoothly on gaming handhelds like Valve's Steam Deck, the ASUS Rog Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go. The exact performance is going to different depending on what settings you use and which model handheld you have, but there's no reason to expect to run into trouble on any of them.

    No, they are not legitimate. Even if they don't sell stolen keys, they are selling keys from cheaper regions. That is not legitimate and some countries are coming down hard on this with legislation, making it illegal.
