Are you excited about the upcoming God of War Ragnarök but want to experience Kratos’ journey in full before Ragnarök is released? The first God of War entry came out in 2005 on the PlayStation 2. Nine additional entries have been released on various PlayStation devices, mobile devices, and even a text-based entry on Facebook Messenger. Most non-console entries have been ported to the console, but you may still be hard-pressed to find some of these entries.

Here is how to play all God of War games in order, either chronologically or by release date.
