Can I Run God of War Ragnarök?
God of War Ragnarök is an action adventure game from Santa Monica Studio, released in 2024. PlayStation Publishing LLC published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Completionists have 48 achievements to work through. Its Metacritic score stands at 90. 22 languages are covered by the store listing. Over 31 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. The game ships for Windows alone. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a mythological world, moving through one continuous open world. 15 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and God of War Ragnarök can never assume the player will stop and let it load. The view is from a third person view.
Why God of War Ragnarök is demanding
God of War Ragnarök sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super or AMD RX 5700 or Intel Arc A770, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 6 GB, so on God of War Ragnarök the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does. God of War Ragnarök calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means God of War Ragnarök scales hard with the hardware you give it. God of War Ragnarök wants about 190 GB of disk space, which is a real consideration on a smaller drive. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run God of War Ragnarök?
Free up space before installing God of War Ragnarök: it needs roughly 190 GB. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) or AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) or Intel Arc A750 and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. God of War Ragnarök needs about 190 GB of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
