A GOD of War Ragnarök PlayStation 5 bundle is coming soon, to give more players the chance to play Sony’s exclusive title on release.
Two years after its original release, many players are still struggling to get their hands on Sony’s latest console, the PS5.
The exclusive controller will not be part of the bundle.

This is due to global stock shortages that have seen the console’s price skyrocket on second-hand markets.
While Xbox’s latest console, the Series X|S, is widely available, as Microsoft itself pointed out, PlayStation has five times the number of exclusive titles as Xbox.
This has left many hardcore gamers disappointed, especially those who want to play the latest games as soon as they release.
Set to be one of the best games of the year, God of War Ragnarök will be released as a PlayStation 5 exclusive on November 9.
Sony announced today (October 13) that a PlayStation 5 bundle will be released the same day, so more people will have the chance to play.
The bundle includes the PlayStation 5 disc-based console, one controller, and a copy of the game.
It is not mentioned if there will be other bundles available, such as ones with a second controller and the Pulse 3D headsets.
However, Sony has come under fire for its bundles recently.
While the console by itself is still difficult to buy, expensive bundles such as the FIFA 23 bundle with these extras are still available at many retailers.
The God of War bundle includes just the standard PS5 and controller, despite a new God of War Ragnarök controller being released for the game’s launch.
When the original God of War released in 2018, Sony produced a limited-edition PS4 Pro console with the game.
The console had a silver and gold design with symbols painted on the surface.
It was also released with a limited-edition controller which matched the console.
The cost of the bundle has not been announced. However, the PS5 recently suffered from a price hike.
The God of War bundle will probably be similarly priced to the FIFA 23 bundle which retails at £539.99 ($549.99).
