Installing mods for the God of War PC version can be a fun way to enhance any player’s experience with shaders, new looks for Kratos, and more.
Now that the PC version of God of War has been released, fans of the game have already started to mod Midgard and beyond as Kratos and Atreus undertake their journey to Jotunheim. Whether or not someone is a fan of modding a game, mods are almost always designed to enhance a game’s experience in one way or another. Although God of War for PC was just released, there are already several dozen mods available to use.
Many of the PC mods available for God of War offer quality-of-life enhancements, such as shaders or the ability to skip the opening PlayStation screen. Additionally, for players who have picked up a copy of God of War on PC, there are several mods that allow them to immediately begin a New Game Plus mode without having to play through the game the first time. Despite how reliable some mods can be, all mods run the risk of corrupting save files. Players should always keep a backup file of God of War ready just in case something goes wrong with their PC mods.
To successfully mod God of War for PC, players should check out the list of available options on Nexus mods that are compatible with God of War. Nexus mods are well known for being reliable for a myriad of games, so players who are looking to change their game experience with the ability to start New Game Plus in God of War instantly, for example, may want to download mods specifically from Nexus. Before downloading any mods, however, players should be sure to download the Vulkan Launcher mod first.
The Vulkan Launcher mod for God of War is designed to create a smoother gameplay experience, which can help with any potential issues that can arise when downloading other mods. Success with the Vulkan Launcher depends on the user’s hardware. The instructions for properly installing the Vulkan Launcher for God of War are available for download as well. In fact, each of the available God of War mods comes with its own set of instructions to help players install mods properly, as well as to outline any potential risks associated with the individual mod.
Before modding God of War for PC, all players should experience the game normally and adjust their settings to fit their playstyle and needs. Then, mods can be introduced to make the game feel fresh again. While each player’s hardware may affect how the game looks, for better or worse, shader mods are often designed to only enhance the color palette of a game. There are also some hilarious mods available, such as those that remove all hair from Kratos and Atreus in God of War, and more serious mods that better show off the God of War’s unique markings.
God of War is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
