God of War Ragnarok is a massive game based on its file size. The game has received a day one patch already and the final size with the patch is over 100 GB.
Some of the best PS5 games are exclusives like God of War Ragnarok and Astro Bot, but there are some indie highlights as well.
The festivities also include new 20th anniversary merch, a fan kit, and more.
What an absolute half-hearted and shoddy way for Sony to commemorate the epic God of War series. A few alternative skins and the option to buy t-shirts or vinyl. It would have been better to not have any celebration. Abysmal.

No offense Sony… but nobody is playing God of war ragnarok in 2025…
Yeah no one at all especially when it just became available to the millions of PS plus subscribers
Maybe it’s because I sold my Ps5 last year and built a new PC. But ragnarok I finished in 2022 when it released. Don’t have any motivation to replay.
It would have been nice to have a PS plus drop of the ps2 original though I get that
I actually installed it again today to try the latest roguelite DLC. Costumes is a nice addition but def expected something else.
Mate, I only started playing the previous one. It holds up unbelievably well considering it was a PS4 release
Damn Sony
You keep on remastering recent games and yet choose not to for a franchise that's celebrating it's 20 years?
I'm sure a lot of old and new fans would appreciate being able to play the entire saga using their current gen consoles.
Sure but that would require to actually remaster. Not selling the same game from last gen in a new box and call it remaster.
I admit I got a bit swept up in thinking we would get a PS classics drop of the first game on PS plus not a remaster or anything just running under the new ps2 emulator id be.halpy with that or the PSP games that deserve more praise really
Playstation writes: "Starting with tomorrow’s release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC, we’re working to add more benefits to playing with an account for PlayStation Network. The Last of Us Part II Remastered (coming April 3, 2025), in addition to God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, will all soon be adding in-game content unlocks for PlayStation Network account users.
An account for PlayStation Network will become optional for these titles on PC. Players who still opt to sign into a PlayStation Network account will also enjoy added benefits like trophies and friend management."
Bruh 😳
Just for context the highest PS4 game sizes files are
1.) 175 GB: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
2.) 165 GB: Destiny 2
3.) 143GB: NBA 2K23
4.) 105 GB: Red Dead Redemption 2
5.) 102 GB: Final Fantasy XV. If you get the Multiplayer expansion, that’s another 52.11 GB.
6.) 101 GB: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
7.) 99 GB GT: Sport
8.) 95GB: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
9.) 95 GB: Middle Earth: Shadow of War
10.) 86 GB: The Elder Scrolls Online
At 118GB that puts God of War 5: Ragnorok at the 4th or 5th if you factor FFXV’s DLC biggest game size file on PS4
Still a Whopper of a game, but it will be worth every gigabyte.
More than 2x the size of the last one. Assuming they didn't cut corners with optimizing the game and this is supposedly the end of the Norse stuff then it should be due to it being much longer to finish the story properly.
There are no excuses Jim and co. You believe in generations? Show me you utilized the PS5. I expect the PS5 file size to be around the rumored 90.6GB.
Thought we already knew this, it's just the PS5 file size yet to be announced?
It was always going to be huge on PS4. It only has an HDD which means repeated assets for starters, but this is a VERY tall order for PS4 to run as it is, even despite the differences between PS4 and PS5 versions. Heck, the 2018 game had PS4 at breaking point!
At least this file size is justifiable given the scope of the game, not like the other biggest filed games. COD and NBA should be half the size they are, going by the game you get, but their optimisation is terrible.
