God of War for PlayStation 4 is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,400, sold as a sealed physical disc at our Nairobi CBD store, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. This 2018 single-player action-adventure title from Santa Monica Studio puts you in control of Kratos and his son Atreus across the realms of Norse mythology. God of War carries a Mature 17+ (PEGI 18) rating, runs on both the PS4 and PS4 Pro, and installs to your console from the included Blu-ray disc. The game sold more than 23 million copies worldwide and collected multiple Game of the Year awards.
God of War suits PlayStation owners across Kenya who want a long single-player campaign without monthly subscription costs or constant online connection. Many Nairobi gamers juggle expensive data bundles, so a story-driven disc you play offline solves the recurring cost problem that online multiplayer titles create. The roughly 25 to 30 hour main story, stretching past 50 hours with side content, gives students in Eldoret, working professionals in Westlands, and weekend players in Mombasa real value per shilling. God of War also runs on the standard PS4, so you do not need a PS5 to play it.
God of War stands among the most decorated PlayStation titles Mascom International stocks, and the physical disc holds resale value that digital downloads cannot match. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who push only digital codes tied to one account, Mascom International supplies the genuine sealed disc you can lend, trade, or resell after finishing. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the combination of Norse setting, weighty combat, and the father-son story keeps them returning for a second playthrough. Visit our Kimathi Street shop to confirm the disc region and PS4 compatibility before you pay.
Common Questions About the God of War for PlayStation 4
What is God of War (2018) about?
God of War (2018) follows Kratos, the former Greek god, and his young son Atreus as they carry the ashes of Kratos' late wife to the highest peak of the Nine Realms. The story moves the series away from Greek mythology into Norse mythology, set in ancient Scandinavia and the realm of Midgard. Along the way the pair face Norse gods, trolls, and the antagonist Baldur. The narrative centers on a strained father-son relationship rather than pure revenge, which marked a clear shift from earlier God of War games.
Does God of War work on the standard PS4 or only PS4 Pro?
God of War runs on every PlayStation 4 model, including the standard PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro. On a standard PS4 the game targets 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second. On a PS4 Pro you gain a choice between a higher-resolution mode reaching up to 4K and a smoother performance mode. The same disc works across all three consoles, so the KSh 3,400 copy from Mascom International plays whether you own an original 2013 PS4 or a newer Pro.
Will God of War for PS4 play on a PlayStation 5?
Yes, God of War for PS4 plays on the PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility, and the PS5 actually runs it better. Insert the PS4 disc into a PS5 with a disc drive and the game installs to the faster SSD, loading in seconds rather than minutes. A free PS5 upgrade patch unlocks 60 frames per second at 4K resolution. This means your KSh 3,400 disc from Mascom International stays useful if you upgrade from PS4 to PS5 later.
Is God of War a single-player or multiplayer game?
God of War is a single-player game only, with no online or local multiplayer mode. You play the entire campaign offline, controlling Kratos directly while Atreus acts as an AI companion in combat. Because the game needs no internet connection after installation, it suits Kenyan households dealing with intermittent fibre or those relying on mobile data. You buy the disc once at KSh 3,400 and play without further charges, subscriptions, or PlayStation Plus membership.
How long does it take to finish God of War?
God of War takes roughly 20 to 25 hours to complete the main story, and 50 or more hours to finish side quests, optional bosses, and the Valkyrie challenges. The realm of Midgard plus optional areas like the lake of nine offer exploration well beyond the central journey. For Kenyan players measuring cost against playtime, that works out to under KSh 150 per hour of entertainment on the main story alone, and far less for completionists who chase every collectible.
Why buy God of War on disc instead of digital from Mascom International?
The physical God of War disc from Mascom International gives you resale value, lending freedom, and no download required, unlike a digital code locked to one account. Kenya's mobile data costs make a 40GB-plus digital download expensive and slow, while the disc installs directly from the case. You can sell or trade the disc once you finish, share it with family, and keep it as part of a collection. At KSh 3,400 sealed, the disc costs less than most digital store prices.
Is God of War suitable for children?
God of War carries a Mature 17+ ESRB rating and a PEGI 18 rating, meaning it is intended for adults, not young children. The game contains graphic violence, blood, and strong language tied to its brutal combat against Norse creatures. Parents in Kenya should treat it like an 18-rated film. PlayStation parental controls let you restrict the game by age rating on shared family consoles, which Mascom International staff can help you configure at our Nairobi shop.
How does God of War compare to God of War Ragnarok?
God of War (2018) is the first Norse chapter and God of War Ragnarok (2022) is its direct sequel, so playing the 2018 game first gives you the full story. Ragnarok continues Kratos and Atreus' journey and concludes the Norse arc. The 2018 God of War remains the recommended starting point and costs far less than the newer title. At KSh 3,400 from Mascom International, it is an affordable entry into one of PlayStation's most praised series.
