Do The God Of War Ragnarok Physical Editions Include A Disc?
Just to be clear, the Collector’s Edition and Jötnar Edition of God of War Ragnarök don’t feature a game disc of any kind, even though they include a steelbook. The only edition that includes a disc is the Standard Edition.
There will be a voucher code for the game in the no more expensive editions, but there’ll be no disc, so if you’re looking to let your friends borrow the game once you’re done, think carefully before picking up the more expensive versions. Then again, if you shelled out for the digital-only PS5, a voucher code would be right up your alley.
When Do Pre-Orders Go Live For God Of War Ragnarök?
If you’re not put off by the lack of physical disc, pre-orders for God Of War Ragnarök will go live on July 15th, 2022 at 7am PT/10am ET/3pm BST.
