Why Kratos Still Dominates Gaming Conversations[]
Few action–adventure franchises can claim the cultural footprint of God of War. Since 2005, Sony Santa Monica’s myth-splitting chronicle of the Spartan demigod Kratos has reinvented itself twice and now sits on more than 65 million lifetime sales.
Planning to play the Steam version of God of War (2018)? Make sure your rig is running a genuine, fully-activated copy of Windows 11 Pro—grab an instant Windows 11 Pro OEM key in seconds and unlock gaming-friendly features like DirectStorage and Auto HDR.
