Unleash the Fury: Your Ultimate Guide to Redeeming God of War Ragnarök Pre-Order Bonuses (Updated!)

So, you braved Fimbulwinter, pre-ordered God of War Ragnarök, and now you're itching to equip Kratos with all the glorious bonuses. But how exactly do you redeem those sweet pre-order goodies? Fear not, fellow warriors! This guide covers everything you need to know, updated with the most current information and addressing common questions that other guides miss.

What Pre-Order Bonuses Were Available?

Before we dive into redemption, let's recap the pre-order bonuses that were up for grabs (availability may have varied depending on retailer and region):

  • Kratos Risen Snow Armor: A unique armor set for Kratos.
  • Atreus Risen Snow Tunic: A matching outfit for Atreus.

These bonuses were designed to give you a stylish edge as you embarked on your epic journey.

How to Redeem Your Code (No Matter Where You Pre-Ordered)

Whether you pre-ordered a digital copy from the PlayStation Store or a physical edition from a retailer, the redemption process is the same. You'll receive a 12-digit code (usually in an email for digital pre-orders or printed on a slip of paper inside the game case for physical copies). This code needs to be redeemed on the PlayStation Store.

Here's a breakdown of how to redeem your code on both your console and online:

Method 1: Redeeming on Your PlayStation Console (PS4 & PS5)

  1. Power Up: Turn on your PlayStation console (PS4 or PS5).
  2. Navigate to the PlayStation Store: From the main menu, find and select the PlayStation Store icon.
  3. Find "Redeem Code":
    • PS4: Scroll down the PlayStation Store menu until you find "Redeem Codes."
    • PS5: On the PlayStation Store main screen, select the "..." (three dots) menu next to your profile icon at the top right, and then choose "Redeem Codes."
  4. Enter Your Code: Carefully enter the 12-digit code exactly as it appears (including hyphens). Double-check for any typos!
  5. Confirm and Download: Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your redemption. The bonus content will then be added to your account. You can then download it directly from the PlayStation Store or within the game itself (sometimes the items will be available automatically in your inventory after starting a new game or loading a save file).

Method 2: Redeeming Online via the PlayStation Store Website

  1. Visit the PlayStation Store Website: Open your web browser and go to https://store.playstation.com/.
  2. Log In: Log in to your PlayStation Network account.
  3. Find "Redeem Code": Click on your profile icon in the top right corner. A drop-down menu will appear. Select "Redeem Code."
  4. Enter Your Code: Enter the 12-digit code in the provided field.
  5. Confirm: Click "Continue" to confirm the redemption. The content will be added to your account.

Crucial Information and Troubleshooting (What Other Guides Missed!)

  • Code Not Working? If you encounter an error message, double-check that you've entered the code correctly. If the problem persists, contact PlayStation Support or the retailer where you pre-ordered the game. They can verify the code and help resolve any issues.
  • Where to Find the Bonuses In-Game: Once redeemed, the Risen Snow Armor and Tunic should be accessible within the game's menu, usually in the armor or inventory section. You may need to progress through the early parts of the game before they become available. Some bonuses may be automatically equipped, while others will need to be equipped manually.
  • Region Locking: Pre-order bonus codes are often region-locked. Make sure the code you received is for the same region as your PlayStation Network account.
  • Digital Pre-Order Bonuses Automatically Applied: If you pre-ordered digitally through the PlayStation Store, you usually won't receive a separate code. The bonuses are typically automatically added to your account upon release, so you just need to download the game.
  • What if I Pre-Ordered Late? If you pre-ordered after the official pre-order period ended, you likely won't receive the pre-order bonuses. However, sometimes these items become available for purchase later as DLC.
