What could still change

  • It has moved once, in November. We've read the new date in Game8's report of Santa Monica Studio's statement, not yet on the PlayStation Store UK.
  • We don't yet know what the delay means for pre-orders or the Collector Box's delivery date, which PlayStation had given as 16 February.
  • Sony hasn't announced a PC version. Earlier God of War games reached PC after the PS5 release.
  • The PEGI rating is provisional until the game is rated.

How we check this date

Date checked on 5 November 2026; prices last read on the PlayStation Store UK on 28 October 2026. We check again each week until launch, and on launch day. We only change the date when one of these official pages does. See our methodology for how we source figures.
