The price of God of War Ragnarok has recently been reduced, coinciding with significant updates for both the video game and an upcoming television adaptation. Shoppers can now purchase the PS5 edition of the game for as low as £44.44 at Argos through a combination of offers that include a sign-up bonus from TopCashback.
Typically retailing at £59.99, the game can be obtained for less than £45 by creating a free account with TopCashback, which grants new members a £15 bonus. Additionally, the cashback offer on orders from Argos effectively reduces the price, providing a savings of £15.55, or approximately 26%, off the original price. For existing TopCashback members, the final price after cashback will be £44.49.
In a competitive market, some retailers are still charging full price for the game, with GAME and the PlayStation Store listing it at £59.99 and £69.99 respectively, according to reports from Birmingham Live. On the other hand, Amazon is also offering God of War Ragnarok for £36.36, although stock is limited with only two copies remaining.
Game Updates and Exciting New Casting
The price reduction comes as the game recently received an update that enhances its functionality. According to PlayStation Lifestyle, update 06.06 introduces compatibility for Power Saver mode on the PS5 and PS5 Pro. This feature aims to improve energy efficiency while gaming, a move welcomed by environmentally conscious players. The update was initially rolled out to PS5 consoles in September 2023.
In addition to the game updates, the God of War franchise is expanding into television. Actor Ryan Hurst, known for his role in Sons of Anarchy, has been cast as Kratos in the upcoming adaptation set to premiere on Prime Video. The series is expected to closely follow the narrative established in the last two games of the franchise, leveraging Hurst’s previous experience providing voice and motion capture for Thor in Ragnarok.
Customer Feedback and Gameplay Experience
The PS5 version of God of War Ragnarok has received an impressive 4.9-star rating from Argos customers, with gamers praising its graphics and storyline. One customer remarked, “Fantastic game, graphics are the best I’ve seen. Great story line and many hours of fun to be had.” Another review highlighted the high production value, stating, “Incredible game. Production value off the charts as usual for Sony first party. Amazing story, graphics, and a flawless technical performance that runs perfectly at 60fps.”
While the majority of feedback has been positive, not all reviews reflect the same enthusiasm. One customer mentioned, “Great price but the game is a bit boring.” Conversely, another five-star review stated, “Amazing experience on PS5. Great story, beautiful graphics, and very smooth gameplay. Combat is fun and challenging. Definitely a must-play game.”
For those interested in taking advantage of the £44.44 offer, the process is straightforward. Customers need to register with TopCashback, search for Argos, and complete their purchase of God of War Ragnarok as they typically would. The cashback will be tracked in their TopCashback account within seven working days after the purchase, becoming available for withdrawal once Argos has processed the transaction.
With the combination of price cuts and compelling updates, the God of War franchise continues to capture the interest of both gamers and viewers alike.
