God of War Ragnarok PC Port, Concord, Astro Bot and More: Everything Announced at PlayStation State of Play
Sony held its State of Play showcase early Friday, where it made several new announcements on upcoming PS5 and PS VR2 games. The PlayStation parent provided updates on some already announced games and came out with a few new reveals. As rumoured, Team Asobi is working on Astro Bot, a sequel to Astro's Playroom that is set to arrive later this year on PS5. The showcase also featured new trailers for live service shooter Concorde and horror titles Until Dawn and Silent Hill 2.
State of Play kicked off the summer season of video games industry showcase events, where major publishers and developers will announce updates on upcoming titles and reveal new games. Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest begins June 7, followed by the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9. While Sony didn't announce a project from its major studios, the State of Play showcase had plenty of interesting announcements for the coming year. Here's everything that was announced or revealed during the stream
God of War Ragnarok is the latest first-party PlayStation title being ported to PC. Santa Monica Studio's acclaimed action-adventure title, which was released on PS5 and PS4 in 2022, will launch on PC on September 19, 2024. The port will be done in collaboration with Jetpack Interactive, the studio that worked on the PC port of God of War (2018).
The announcement came with a trailer, confirming that the PC version of the game will get PC features like unlocked framerates, support for Nvidia DLSS 3.7, AMD FSR 3.1 and Intel XeSS 1.3 upscaling techniques, and super ultra-wide monitor support. The game will also include last year's Valhalla DLC.
Team Asobi is finally bringing a sequel to Astro's Playroom, the 3D platformer that came pre-installed on PS5 and served as a tech demo for new DualSense controller features. Astro Bot is described as a “space adventure” much larger in scope than previous games, where players will get to explore six galaxies and over 80 levels in search of Astro's crew.
