Key Takeaways

📺 God of War Ragnarök PC System Requirements Revealed

If you're excited about playing God of War Ragnarök on your PC, it's essential to know if your system can handle the game's demands. PlayStation has officially revealed the PC specs, covering everything from minimum to ultra settings. God of War Ragnarök will be available on PC starting September 19, 2024, bringing the epic Norse adventure to a new audience.


The minimum requirements ensure that players with older rigs can still enjoy the game, albeit at lower settings. However, to truly experience the game's breathtaking visuals, meeting or exceeding the recommended specs is key. Those aiming for ultra settings will need a powerhouse PC with top-of-the-line components. Check out the full PC system requirements on the official PlayStation Blog.


This port is anticipated to perform exceptionally well on PC, given the success of previous PlayStation titles like Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone. With advanced settings and support for high refresh rates, God of War Ragnarök on PC is shaping up to be a visually stunning experience. Whether you've already played it on PlayStation or are diving in for the first time, this release is one to watch.

📺 Grand Theft Auto 6 Release Window Confirmed

Mark your calendars, GTA fans—Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially set to release in Fall 2025. This confirmation comes directly from Take-Two's CEO in a recent interview, where he also touched on the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Thankfully, he reassured the gaming community that the strike will not impact the development of this highly anticipated title.


The GTA series has a massive following, and each new installment raises the bar for open-world gaming. The hype surrounding GTA 6 is immense, and with a confirmed release window, the anticipation has only grown. While details about the game remain under wraps, Rockstar Games is known for its quality and attention to detail, so expectations are sky-high.


For those who can't wait, revisiting GTA 5 or exploring its online mode is a great way to keep the excitement alive until 2025. Watch the first teaser trailer for a glimpse of what's to come in the next installment. Stay tuned, as more information will undoubtedly be released as we approach the official launch.

📺 Control 2 In a Playable State, Max Payne Remakes Progressing

Control 2 has reached a significant milestone—it's now in a playable state, according to Remedy Entertainment's latest financial report. Although there's no release date yet, this development is a positive sign that the game is moving forward smoothly. Remedy also shared that the remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2 are in full production, with the team nearly recouping the development costs of Alan Wake 2.


Fans of the original Control game will be thrilled to hear this news, as the sequel promises to expand on the universe's mysterious and supernatural elements. Remedy is known for its unique storytelling and immersive gameplay, so Control 2 is one to keep an eye on.


Meanwhile, the Max Payne remakes are sure to attract both longtime fans and newcomers who may have missed these classics. The original Max Payne games were groundbreaking in their use of bullet time mechanics and noir-inspired storytelling, and the remakes are expected to bring these iconic titles into the modern era with updated graphics and gameplay enhancements.


If you haven't yet experienced the mind-bending world of Control, now is a great time to play the first game before the sequel's release. Check out the launch trailer for a taste of what awaits in this supernatural thriller.
