God of War Ragnarök PC: a quality port with small issues - and here are our best settings selections


The best settings for God of War Ragnarök PC make a great port run even more smoothly.

According to developers Jetpack Interactive, this is done wholesale rather than relying on QA playthroughs to find them, resulting in a much more bulletproof experience - and certainly the smoothest PC port I've seen from Sony in recent memory. There are still occasional frame-time blips in the first few hours of play - eg a 50ms spike when Atreus opens a door early on - but they're extremely uncommon and don't detract from the experience, which is a huge win. All told, optimised settings provide around an 18 percent performance improvement in an expensive indoor area, or around 31 percentage points to the better outdoors with minimal changes to visual quality.
