God of War Laufey puts Kratos' late wife, Faye, at the center of a new adventure set in the afterlife of the gods. Sony revealed it during a State of Play stream, and the first question for a lot of players was simple. Can you play it on PC? For now, the answer is no.
God of War Laufey PC release status
God of War Laufey will release only on PlayStation 5. Sony has confirmed the game as a single-player PS5 title and described it as "coming soon to PlayStation 5." That phrasing covers the platform, and it does not include PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox, or Switch.
This is a real shift from how Sony handled its recent output. The last several major God of War games eventually reached PC, including God of War (2018), God of War Ragnarök, and God of War Valhalla. Other flagship titles such as Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Ghost of Tsushima also made the jump to PC storefronts. For a while, it looked like Sony's big narrative games were settling into a console-first, PC-later pattern.
That pattern is changing. Sony has pulled back from PC releases for its major single-player exclusives, with the company's leadership signaling a return to keeping prestige story games on PlayStation hardware. The goal is to make these games system sellers again, so a PC port for God of War Laufey is not on the table right now.
Why God of War Laufey is staying on PS5
The reasoning comes down to console sales. By keeping cinematic, story-driven exclusives tied to the PlayStation 5 ecosystem, Sony wants those games to be a reason to buy the console itself. Multiplayer titles are treated differently. Sony plans to keep putting its multiplayer games on PC, which makes sense after the success of Helldivers 2. The retreat applies specifically to the big single-player exclusives.
God of War Laufey fits that single-player category exactly. It is a cinematic, story-heavy game built around Faye's point of view, so it falls squarely under the titles Sony intends to keep exclusive. Unless the company reverses course again, PC players should not expect it.
Platform availability for God of War Laufey
| Platform | Availability |
|---|---|

| PC | Not planned at launch or in the near future |
| PlayStation 4 | Not available |
| Xbox | Not available |
| Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 | Not confirmed |
When will God of War Laufey release?
No specific release date has been announced. Sony has only said the game is "coming soon to PS5." The gameplay shown suggests the project is fairly far along, including a long uninterrupted gameplay reveal, but that does not pin down a date.
There is a strong reason to think Sony will pick its window carefully. The late 2026 calendar is crowded, and Grand Theft Auto 6 is a major console exclusive arriving this year on PlayStation and Xbox. Sony is unlikely to put God of War Laufey directly against that release, which points toward careful scheduling rather than a rushed launch.
How to follow God of War Laufey updates
If you want to be notified the moment a date or any platform change is shared, the simplest move is to wishlist the game on the PlayStation Store. Wishlisting flags the title to your account so you receive updates as they go live.
Step 1: Open the PlayStation Store on your PS5 or in a browser and search for God of War Laufey. Make sure you are signed into the account you want updates on.
Step 2: Add the game to your wishlist from its store page. You will see it appear in your wishlist, which confirms the action worked and that you will get notifications tied to it.
As things stand, God of War Laufey is a PlayStation 5 exclusive with no PC plans, and Faye's trip through the afterlife realm called the Everywhen will be playable only on Sony's current console when it eventually arrives.
