Kratos Goes Portable: God of War Hits Steam Deck Verification Just in Time for Ragnarök's PC Arrival

Alright, so here's a bit of news that, honestly, feels almost perfectly timed. You know how everyone's buzzing about God of War Ragnarök finally making its way to PC? Well, as if on cue, the critically acclaimed 2018 masterpiece that kicked off Kratos and Atreus's Norse saga has just been stamped with that coveted 'Verified' badge on the Steam Deck.

Yes, you heard that right. The original God of War, a game many of us poured dozens of hours into — first on PS4, then again on PC — is now officially, perfectly, seamlessly playable on Valve's handheld. This isn't just a minor update; it's a huge deal for anyone who might have missed out on Kratos's epic journey through the Nine Realms or, for that matter, just wants to experience it all over again, perhaps while curled up on the couch, away from the main monitor. And really, who wouldn't want that kind of flexibility?

Think about it for a moment: we're on the cusp of Ragnarök landing on PC, bringing with it all the thunder and fury we've come to expect. What better way, then, to prepare for that monumental sequel than by revisiting — or indeed, experiencing for the very first time — the narrative groundwork laid by its predecessor? It’s almost like PlayStation PC, or perhaps fate itself, is gently nudging us to get caught up before the next chapter demands our full attention.

Before this, the game was listed as 'Playable' on the Steam Deck, which, let's be real, often means a few fiddly settings tweaks, maybe a minor performance hiccup here or there. But 'Verified'? That's the gold standard. It means Valve themselves have tested it, and it runs beautifully right out of the box. No fuss, no muss, just pure, unadulterated father-son mythological adventure on the go. Honestly, for a game as visually stunning and narratively rich as God of War, this level of portability and ease of access is nothing short of fantastic.

So, if you’ve been on the fence, or if the upcoming Ragnarök port has you feeling nostalgic (or perhaps a little intimidated by the lore), now's your absolute best chance to dive back in. Or even, you could say, to truly begin. The Steam Deck is calling, and Kratos is ready for his next portable conquest. Truly, a superb bit of news for PC gamers everywhere.
