Unless you’ve been living under a rock, The new God of War game, Ragnarök, will be upon us in a week. The latest game will act as a follow-up to the 2018 title, continuing the story of Kratos and Atreus. With a new game comes people fresh to the franchise who will be diving into the series for the first time. Luckily, you can play most of the games on PS4 and PS5, as long as you’re subscribed to the Premium version of PlayStation Plus. So, where do you begin? Well, we’ve got you covered for both. We’ll start with chronological order, followed by release order. So, without further ado, here’s how to play the God of War games in chronological and release order.

Note that the only game we didn’t mention was the cellphone game God of War: Betrayal. While the game is considered canon, it adds very little to the series’ overarching storyline and can easily be skipped. Additionally, the game was made for early cell phones, so it’s next impossible to play it without emulation.
