How to Play God of War Games in Chronological Order?

In order to experience the complete Kratos saga from the beginnings in Greece to the last Nordic sequels, this is the correct sequence that you need to follow in order to through the story in chronological order:

  1. God of War: Ascension – Playable only on PlayStation 3
  2. God of War: Chains of Olympus – PlayStation Portable game, later ported to PlayStation 3
  3. God of War – The PlayStation 2 classic that started it all
  4. God of War: Ghost of Sparta – PlayStation Portable game, later ported to PlayStation 3
  5. God of War: Betrayal – Old school mobile game from 2007, playable on Java phone emulators
  6. God of War II – Sequel to the PlayStation original
  7. God of War III – PlayStation 3 title with a good PlayStation 4 remaster available
  8. God of War (2018) – The soft reboot of the franchise, on PlayStation 4 and PC
  9. God of War Ragnarok (2022) – Coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 this November

Of course, many of these games are not easy to play today if you don’t have some of the older consoles, but still, many titles from this list are available today on the new PlayStation Plus subscription. Hopefully more will come to the the Premium tier so that you won’t need anything other than a PlayStation 5 to experience the full God of War series. Until then, good luck digging up Kratos’ history.
