A PlayStation Network account is required to play God of War Ragnarök. Here we will guide you through the log-in sequence upon booting up the game for the first time and the variables that may contribute to your particular user flow.
Please note, an internet connection is required to complete the sign-in/account linking process. Once this is complete, you will not need an internet connection to play God of War Ragnarök.
You will not be prompted to repeat the process in future sessions.
If you are having any issues accessing, creating, or linking your account for PlayStation Network, don't hesitate to get in touch with PlayStation Support.
