The God of War reboot is considered by many to be one of the greatest video games on the PlayStation 4 and a fitting return to form for Kratos. The story, combat, interconnected world, and amazing graphics are some of the many reasons why people absolutely adore this title. It helped that a focus on a mature Kratos and his trials of fatherhood with Atreus make for an interesting dynamic that made this one-note character interesting all over again.

With the game's release on PC, more and more people can finally get into this amazing masterpiece and appreciate the magic of God of War's reboot on the most powerful hardware around. In fact, God of War makes the most of the upgraded hardware on PC and adds the following improvements to enhance the experience for players.

8 Customizable Graphics Options

In terms of pure content, God of War is going to deliver an experience similar to that of the original release. However, there's one avenue that sees massive room for improvement, and that's undoubtedly the graphical options.

The PC is potentially the most powerful gaming platform out there, and God of War makes the most of it with its wide range of graphical settings that can be toggled as per a player's needs. People with low-end systems can also reduce the graphical fidelity of the game to allow for a more cohesive and enjoyable experience.

7 Proper 4K As Opposed To A Simulated Experience

While the PS4 Pro was definitely a great upgrade over the original, there were still certain upgrades that it either lacked or skimmed out on. A great example of this is the supposed '4K' of the console, which wasn't real 4K at all — rather, it was a simulated 4K experience that made the most of the PS4 Pro's limited hardware.

None of these restrictions are present on the PC, which will make for a great time as players enjoy God of War at the highest resolution possible. It's an awe-inspiring experience that will make the gorgeous graphics of the title look even better!

6 The Addition of DLSS (NVIDIA) and FSR (AMD)

DLSS and FSR are new technologies for the latest line of NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards that improve image quality without a major hit on performance. People eagerly wanting to play God of War on the PC will be happy to learn that these technologies are available for use in the game's PC release as well.

Having the opportunity to improve image quality immensely without having too major of a hit on performance is something that most fans would absolutely love. As long as a player's PC hardware can support these changes, it goes without saying that DLSS and FSR will go a long way in improving the graphical fidelity of God of War.

5 Ultra-Widescreen Support

Ultra-Widescreen games are a blast to play through, and it's great that God of War will be supporting this as well. Players who have the hardware can enjoy the ultra-widescreen support shipped with the PC version of this game.

Given how cinematic God of War is, it goes without saying that the addition of ultra-widescreen will make each and every scene in the game feel all the more awe-inspiring to behold. This graphical update might only be for a small section of PC players, but it's still worth a mention regardless.

4 Higher Framerates

The biggest and most notable improvement with the PC release of God of War is improved and more stable frame rates. After all, consoles have limited hardware and are bound by certain restrictions — an issue that won't be present in most powerful PC platforms.

Players who have the hardware can reach 120 FPS with the proper settings, which can make a world of difference when it comes to the gameplay. 30 FPS might feel cinematic, but there's no denying the fact that playing an action-heavy game like God of War at frame rates of 60 FPS or higher will be an extremely satisfying experience.

3 Better Textures

The graphics of God of War are one of its best and most notable features, and it's great that the PC release will allow players to unlock the full potential of this game. This can especially be seen when it comes to the textures of the game, which are upgraded significantly on PC.

Higher-quality textures will lead to sharper images and better visual fidelity across the board. It might be a rather subtle change, but a welcome one regardless.

2 Shadows With Greater Detail

Dynamic shadows can do wonders when it comes to improving overall gameplay, and God of War definitely doesn't skimp out in this regard. In fact, the PC release goes the extra mile with the inclusion of higher-quality shadows and ambient occlusion.

The game world looks absolutely gorgeous when both settings are cranked up all the way to the max, making for a visually satisfying experience. It's easily one of the most notable and welcome improvements in the PC release of God of War.

1 Improved Anisotropic Filtering

Sharper images are always welcome in any game, and God of War is no exception to this golden rule. While the original game obviously had a decent level of filtering, the PC release has the potential to bring this aspect of the visuals to a whole new level.

More intensive Anisotropic Filtering can be applied to the game for clearer images and sharper visuals throughout the game. This can have a major impact on the graphics of the game, making God of War a mind-blowing experience from a graphical perspective.

God of War is now available on PC as of January 14, 2022. It's also available for PlayStation 4.
