God of War Ragnarok is about to be released. We’ll tell you everything you need to know for a smooth start to the action-adventure.

Santa Monica, California – Axes will fly again, Chaos Blades will twirl, and arrows will sail again as God of War Ragnarök is about to release. For thousands of PlayStation fans worldwide, more than four long years of waiting will come to an end on November 9th, when Kratos and his cub embark on their travels again on PS4 and PS5. It would be a shame if there were still obstacles in the way of starting the game. Here we tell you everything you need to know about the release of God of War Ragnarök about the game, the start time and the download.

God of War Ragnarök: All about time, download and game size

At this time Ragnarök appears: If you want to start God of War Ragnarok as soon as possible, you’d better get a good night’s sleep. The action-adventure is not tied to any multiplayer servers that have to be unlocked at the same time. So Sony approves the release in every time zone at 00:00 on November 9th, including Germany. From midnight you can get started in this country.

• Release time: November 9, 2022, 12:00 a.m. (German time)

This is how big the download is: Of course, if you want to gamble, you first have to have the game on the console. Logically, this means that God of War Ragnarök must be downloaded before you can even start the game. The download may sometimes require you to free up some hard drive space on your PS4 or PS5. The download size of the game is quite a chunk on both consoles. Here’s how much you’ll need to download on each console.

• Download size PS4: 107GB
• Download size PS5: 85GB

How long does the download take: Data as large as that of God of War Ragnarök not only requires a lot of free disk space. Depending on your internet connection, the download can also take a few hours. So that you know how long you have to wait for the finished installation after the start of the download, we have collected the expected speeds for different lines for you here.

God of War Ragnarok: Preload and Pre-Order Bonuses

This is how the preload works: If the download times on the release day are too long for you, you can also use the God of War Ragnarök preload. With a pre-order you can download the game before release, so you don’t have to wait for the download anymore when you could actually play. If you already have a pre-order, you can simply select and download God of War Ragnarök from your PS4 or PS5 game library. We will explain more about the God of War Ragnarök preload in another article.

How to claim your pre-order bonuses: If you pre-order God of War Ragnarök, you can not only look forward to an earlier download, but you can also secure a few pre-order bonuses in the game. These extras are what you get when you pre-order God of War Ragnarök in any version:

• Kratos’ Snowdrift Armor
• Atreus’ Snowdrift Tabard (Cosmetic)

There are no specific steps to follow to unlock your pre-order bonuses. Once you start the game for the first time, you should get the additional armor pieces. So nothing should stand in the way of your journey through the nine realms of God of War Ragnarök.
