The next generation of gaming is about to kick-off as the world gears up for the launch of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. One of the most anticipated aspect of both these consoles is the backwards compatibility feature. With the PS5, fans will be able to run almost 99% of the PS4 games, where some of them will also deliver higher frame rates thanks to PS5’s amazing hardware. Now, the official Santa Monica account on Twitter has announced some great news for the fans of the God of War franchise.

In addition to this, they also mentioned, “You will also be able to transfer your God of War III Remastered saves to the #PS5.”

PlayStation Exclusive God of War 2018 will be available as a free upgrade on the PS5

This is indeed great news for the fans who are looking forward to switching to the next-gen PS5. Additionally, this also means that God of War 2018 will be a free upgrade for those who already own it. Along with that, God of War 3 Remastered will also be playable on the PS5 and will allow players to transfer all their progress, too.

This is indeed great news for the fans considering God of War 2018 is a highly successful title. Not only is it one of the highest-selling PlayStation games of all time, but it is also a critically acclaimed title.

Its unique over-the-shoulder camera style made it even more intriguing, and the thrilling combat quickly captivated the fans. Being able to run the game at 4K 60 FPS will surely improve the experience and compel fans to experience the entire game all over again.

The next iteration in the God of War saga is scheduled for a 2021 release. God of War: Ragnarok was teased at the PlayStation 5 Showcase event, which left the fans overjoyed. GOW 2018 ended with the arrival of Thor, who came face to face with Kratos. It clearly indicates a deep dive into Norse mythology. Thor’s arrival to the franchise could also mean that Ragnarok is imminent, where characters like Loki and Surtur may also make an appearance.

Although, if the game follows different lore, it may even end differently. So far, there is only an IMDB listing for the game which has a February 2021 release date. That is most likely a placeholder date, as the actual game will obviously take a lot of time to develop.

Till then, fans can take full advantage of the next-gen PS5 and play God of War 2018 at the highest possible frame rates.
