As promised, God of War Ragnarok preload is now live on both the PS4 and PS5. If, for some reason, you’re unable to pre-load then stay put as Sony may have staggered the rollout, starting with Australia and New Zealand, who are well ahead of the rest of the world. Nevertheless, today (November 2nd) is the date you can begin downloading so rest assured, you’ll get to it at some point today, if you can’t already.
God of War Ragnarok preload sizes
On the PS4, God of War Ragnarok is a whopping 106 GB and on the PS5, it’s 85 GB, thanks to the console’s compression technology. It is a chunky game regardless, but given the visuals and cinematics packed into it, these sizes are hardly a surprise. Speaking of the PS4 specifically, Santa Monica Studio said that God of War Ragnarok will be its best last-gen game, so if you haven’t managed to get a hold of a PS5, don’t worry, you’re not getting an inferior product. Just make sure you’re sitting in a well ventilated room lest your ol’ console overheats.
All that said, it’s nice to have a week’s head start when it comes to digital downloads. God of War Ragnarok will release on November 9th.
