God of War coming to PC in 2022

Sony Santa Monica Studio's title has reached 19.5 million copies sold

Santa Monica Studio announced that its 2018 flagship title, God of War, will be released on PC.

Previously a PlayStation exclusive, the title will be launching on PC on January 14, 2022, Sony said in a blog post.

The announcement also highlighted that God of War had sold 19.5 million copies on PS4 as of August 2021. The last time Sony had shared sales numbers for the title was in May 2019, indicating that it had reached ten million units shifted.

The title joins an increasingly long list of former PlayStation exclusives launching outside Sony's ecosystem, including Guerrilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn, Kojima Productions' Death Stranding, Bend Studio's Days Gone, Team Ninja's Nioh 2, and more.

A God of War sequel is due to release in 2022, after Sony announced a delay earlier this year.

In one of our recent Why I Love guest editorial, Xuan Yuan Sword 7 producer Golgi Yang admired Sony Santa Monica's 2018 reboot as a reference point developers can aim for and learn from.
