Sony definitely has a better God of War Ragnarok PS5 setup than you
Even Kratos might feel intimidated by the size of this TV

🤨 Sony is here to give you big TV FOMO

You might be pretty proud of your PS5 setup, own all of the best PS5 accessories, and even have a God of War Ragnarok controller on the way. But I bet your setup pales in comparison to Sony’s in-house rig.
To coincide with the release of Kratos and Atreus’ new adventure on November 9 – don’t forget to read our God of War Ragnarok review – Sony released a brief clip of an employee playing the game in its office. Ordinarily, that wouldn’t be very unexciting – par for the course in internet marketing.
Except this fella wasn’t playing on a TV that looks like anything we’ve seen before. The screen could accurately be described as gigantic, enormous, or absolutely mahoosive. It looks as tall as two people and probably as large as the trolls Kratos loves to snap in half.
The game boots up and the player looks set to start his journey through the Nine Realms. There’s probably some poetic comparison to draw between the image of a dejected Kratos sitting alone in a cave, and a little man sitting in an empty room in front of a humongous television.
Regardless, the game should look pretty great on a screen that size. In his God of War Ragnarok review, Adam said the spectacular set-pieces were one of the highlights of the game, made all the better by 4K resolution support.
Not that everything was tickety-boo. Despite a captivating story, Adam was disappointed it didn’t push the hardware of the PS5 to its limits and felt it was hamstrung by PS4 compatibility. Although the bugs and glitches that were encountered have hopefully been expunged with Ragnarok’s day-one patch, the game didn’t make it onto our list of the best PS5 games. Fans of the series are certain to enjoy it all the same, though.
Weirdly, this isn’t even the first time Sonys’ gargantuan TV has appeared. Last month, journalist Stéphane Ficca shared a clip of himself connecting an original PlayStation console to the screen, which he estimates has a 10m diagonal length. You might not be able to squeeze that into your home, so take a peek at the best TV deals for more suitable picks.
