God of War: Sons of Sparta Really Will Be Ported Backwards to PS4

God of War: Sons of Sparta is coming to PS4 on 16 November 2026, giving players who still use the older console a chance to try the Metroidvania adventure. The PS5 game launched in February, and its PS4 release will arrive with two additional challenge modes, also available to PS5 owners.

Hermes Mode adds a speedrun challenge with split timing and a scoreboard; it unlocks after completing the game or can be accessed with a menu code. Erebus Mode makes both the player and enemies die from one hit. The game received a 7/10 in the article’s review, while its Metacritic critic score is 64.
