Santa Monica Studio's God of War’s PC port has enjoyed an overwhelmingly positive response on Steam in just one day.

The game’s concurrent users, based on Valve data, peaked at almost 50,000 on launch day, making it one of the more successful ports on the platform.

At the time of writing this article, God of War PC has close to 3,500 reviews, with an overwhelming number of positive responses from those who have purchased and played the game.

The title was highly received when it first came out on the Sony PlayStation in April 2018, and its PC port seems to be following suit as a new group of players get to experience Kratos and Atreus' Nordic adventure.

Now with the title finally available on Steam, it would seem that its port will be seeing a sales number as high as the original PS4 release if not higher.

Based on various player reviews and reports, it’s clear that Jetpack Interactive has done a spectacular job in porting the flagship PlayStation title to PC players.

Unlike the Horizon Zero Dawn port, which had a significant number of framerate issues on day one, God of War is running perfectly on mid to high-end systems, while offering incredible visual fidelity.

The PC port has also made a plethora of gameplay and visual improvements over its PS4 counterpart. While the base game did look esthetically stunning, the native 4K resolution takes the visual and world design to another level.

The game is an authentic cinematic experience by all accounts, and the PC port even supports a 21:9 ultrawide display option that makes the title feel like a narrative journey straight off the silver screen.

The PC version also sets the stage for the upcoming title God of War Ragnarok, which is expected to be released on September 30, 2022.
