God of War Laufey will be available on a physical disc, developer Sony Santa Monica has confirmed. This strongly suggests the game will launch before the PS6, which is strongly expected to be a digital only console.
In the before times, this wouldn’t be much of a story, but in a world where the biggest game to release this century, GTA 6, seemingly has no plans for a traditional physical launch, and more pertinent to this story, where PlayStation is ending production of physical discs, it’s pretty big news. For physical game collectors, it’s one of the biggest upcoming PS5 games on the horizon and one more they’ll be able to save a space for on their shelves, like the good old days.
Responding to questions on Twitter, the official Sony Santa Monica account confirms: “We can confirm God of War Laufey will be available on disc.”

God of War Laufey is the next mainline game in Sony Santa Monica’s God of War series and the third game in the Norse saga. Instead of being a direct sequel to 2022’s God of War Ragnarok, Laufey’s story picks up directly following the scene depicting Faye’s funeral from 2018 God of War, serving as a sort of connective link between God of War and God of War Ragnarok. And as you might expect from the title, longtime series protagonist Kratos isn’t the lead protagonist here. Instead, players take control of the much more agile, but equally powerful, Laufey, Kratos’s second wife and the mother of Atreus.
There’s no release date for God of War Laufey yet, but again, if it’s getting a disc, it’s likely to launch as a PS5 game instead of a PS6 exclusive. Analysts think the PS6 could launch around 2028.
