On its ownblogand on the Steam store page, Sony has already revealed a whole range of technical upgrades for the PC version of God of War Ragnarök:
- Variable frame rates:No more fixed FPS cap! Ragnarök rages across the screen on your computer at high frame rates, just like a real PC game should.
- DLSS, FSR and Co:DLSS 3.7 as well as FSR 3.1 and Intel’s XeSS 1.2 are supported.

This time, however, it is not the porting specialists at Nixxes who are responsible for this work, but Jetpack Interactive. The studio has already brought God of War (2018) to the PC and we were very impressed with the result back then.
