God of War has become the most successful game ported from Sony PlayStation to PC

After God of War 2018 was released on PC, many users immediately went to Steam to buy and download this game and appreciate the game, previously only available for Sony PlayStation consoles. This information was shared by the analytical service Steam DB.

After the release of the game, the peak figure was 65,000+ concurrent users. Previously, the record for PlayStation ports was held by Horizon Zero Dawn. Then at the time of the highest activity in the game there were more than 56,000 users.

All other games that were once exclusive to the Sony PlayStation showed less impressive results. Days Gone had over 27,000 players at the start, while Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding was able to gather 32,000+ concurrent users at the monitors.

On the evening of January 14, Santa Monica Studio and Sony Interactive Entertainment delighted gamers and released God of War 2018 on PC. Critics rated the game quite highly, but not in the same way as it was with the console version. In general, the game collected on the main rating aggregator Metacritic 93 points out of 100 possible, which turned out to be 1 point lower than the original version of God of War.

God of War is an action-adventure game that was originally released in 2018 on the PlayStation 4, and then migrated to the next generation of Sony's game console. In this part, the developers decided to conduct an experiment and changed almost everything in the game, from the setting to the gameplay and features of the protagonist. If before the players watched what was happening in the world of Greek mythology, now they were part of the story in the world of Norse mythology. Also, God of War retrained from a hurricane slasher into an action adventure game. This affected not only the camera, which detached itself from the corners of the rooms and is now located behind the main character, but also the gameplay, the pace of which was somewhat reduced. The blades of chaos were replaced by the ax and shield. Fans of Kratos' signature blades will not be left out either, as this type of weapon will also appear in the game. The main character, in turn, is no longer a thoughtless evil vengeful character, but cold, calculating and not entirely emotionless. He also now educates and protects his son Atreus, bringing a sense of novelty to the game series. The developers reported that in the near future the game will get a sequel with the subtitle Ragnarok, which will be a direct continuation of God of War 2018.
