The release date for God of War Ragnarok was finally revealed this week, and so too were its Jotnar and Collector Editions.
Each of the two editions comes packed with God of War-themed goodies. However, the star of the editions is unquestionably the 16” Mjölnir replica hammer.
Furthermore, there will also be a Digital Deluxe edition to pick up, and no matter which version of the game you pre-order, you will be gifted with bonus DLC.
At this time, in terms of Deluxe editions, there is only a digital version. However, as with previous Sony exclusives, hopefully, they’ll also be a physical Deluxe Edition at retail which could include a steelbook.
The various God of War Ragnarok editions were revealed in an unboxing video featuring Santa Monica Art Director, Rafael Grassetti, as well as Ryan Hurst, the voice of Thor in the game.
Below, we’ll detail what’s included in the Jotnar, Collector’s, and Digital Deluxe Editions, as well as the pre-order bonus.

God of War Ragnarok pre-order bonus
It doesn’t matter which version of God of War Ragnarok you decide to pre-order, you will be gifted with the Kratos Snow Armour and the Atreus Risen Snow Tunic (cosmetic). This pre-order bonus is also included with the standard edition.
Can I upgrade the PS4 to the PS5 version?
Yes, you can. While the Jotnar and Collector’s Edition will include a code for the PS4 and PS5 versions, you can upgrade if you buy the standard edition. The cost to upgrade the standard edition will be $10 (or your currencies equivalent).
Does the Jotnar and Collector’s Edition include a physical disc?
No, neither the Jotnar nor Collector’s Edition includes a physical disc. Instead, it includes a PS4/PS5 downloadable code.
I know that many of us would prefer a disc included in the steelbook, but I suppose this is the best compromise for those that own a digital PS5 console. At least this way, it doesn’t matter which PS5 console you own.
When can I pre-order God of War Ragnarok?
Pre-orders will go live on Friday, July 15th at 10am BST/7am PT/10am ET.
Which version of God of War Ragnarok will you be picking up? Let us know across our social media channels.
God of War Ragnarok will be released for PS5 and PS4 on November 9th, 2022. Yet to play the 2018 God of War? You can buy the first game for £11.95.
