God of War may not exactly be a very recent game, but the PC version launched earlier this year proved how the title developed by Sony Santa Monica can be a looker with the proper tweaks.
AD Massicuro recently shared a new 8K resolution video showing the game running with ray tracing global illumination, increased FOV, and camera mod. The start of the video also features a very nice comparison that highlights how the ray tracing shader improves the game's already excellent visuals.
It's not just modders that are working hard to improve the PC version of God of War. Last week, the developer confirmed that they are working on a variety of improvements that will be implemented in the future.
We do recognize that there are some ongoing issues with our implementation of Borderless Fullscreen that we are currently working on resolving. For instance, HDR needs to be turned on at the Windows-level to work properly rather than at the application level, and sometimes the mouse doesn't stay constrained to the game window. We will continue to make improvements towards future-proofing our execution moving forward.
God of War is now available on PC and PlayStation 4 worldwide.
