One of the biggest announcements from the PlayStation State of Play June 2026 was the reveal of God of War Laufey, a brand-new entry in Santa Monica Studio's beloved franchise that shifts the spotlight from Kratos to his late wife, Faye. As soon as the trailer dropped, the gaming community buzzed with one common question: is it coming to PC? Below, we take a closer look.
Will God of War Laufey Come to PC?
The answer is no. God of War Laufey is a single-player PlayStation 5 exclusive and will only be available on that platform. Sony's approach has shifted significantly over the past several years. Games like God of War (2018), God of War Ragnarok, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Ghost of Tsushima all made their way to PC, leading many players to assume that PlayStation exclusives would continue arriving on PC. However, recent reports suggest Sony is pulling back from that approach. PlayStation CEO Hermen Hulst reportedly stated the return of single-player PlayStation exclusives rather than launching them on PC, aiming to drive console sales. Accordingly, if you want to experience Faye's journey, a PlayStation 5 is your only option.
What is God of War Laufey About?
The new game puts players in the shoes of Laufey, known to God of War fans as Faye, Kratos' deceased wife and Atreus' mother. You play as her while exploring a mysterious afterlife realm. The reveal trailer painted a picture of a deeply personal and atmospheric adventure that feels distinct from the combat-heavy mainline entries.
When Will God of War Laufey Release?
Sony has not announced an exact release date. During the State of Play, they only confirmed that the game is "coming soon to PS5." A speculated release date is 2027, as the 2026 release calendar is already packed with titles like Control Resonant, Silent Hill Townfall, Marvel's Wolverine, and GTA 6. With a 2027 release window looking likely, Santa Monica Studio will take their time to give Faye's story the spotlight it deserves.
This was all you needed to know about God of War Laufey and whether the upcoming title will release on PC or not.
