TGO Daily | October 11, 2021 | God of War to PC
✏️ From the Author
Hey folks! Just one big story today. One thing I chose not to cover more extensively is all the stuff going on with Activision Blizzard — to be honest, I’m kinda tired of following all the tiny details of the story. I’d rather let it play out.
Anyway, I hope you’re well :) Chat tomorrow,
Adrian
📰 In The News
1. God of War to PC
Per the PlayStation Blog, it has been confirmed that 2018’s God of War will be heading to PC on January 14.
“Our primary goal when bringing God of War to PC was to highlight the exceptional content the team created and leverage the powerful hardware that the platform offers to create a uniquely breathtaking and high-performance version of the game.
You’ll be able to enjoy the full potential of our cinematic, no-cut camera as it follows Kratos and Atreus across the realms with the option of true 4k resolution, on supported devices, and unlocked framerates.”
Zooming out: This is one of the biggest PlayStation-exclusive games they could have brought to PC, which shows how committed they are to it. Evidently, their trial run with Horizon Zero Dawn worked well.
They also revealed that the game has sold close to 20 million units, making it the best selling PlayStation 4 game ever (according to official records — there have been hints that Spider-Man has exceeded 20 million in the past).
💭Adrian’s Thoughts: On a personal note, I’m extremely happy to be seeing this head to PC. I’ll be losing access to my roommate’s PS4 early next year, which means this is one less game I have to rush to play!
