God of War: Ragnarok's PC port requires an incredible 190GB for installation — PSN account is also a requirement

Yesterday, the God of War: Ragnarok PC port's system requirements were posted to Steam before its September 19 launch— and some of the listed requirements are already raising some eyebrows. One of the biggest points of contention is the 190 GB install size, which seems close to the combined file size of both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions, respectively, which weighed in at 107 GB and 84 GB when the game launched.

However, the requirement of a PlayStation Network account for a single-player game has also drawn controversy—mainly because PSN is available in far fewer countries than Steam, effectively locking Ragnarok away from many PC players due to arbitrary account restrictions.
