One unexpected God of War Ragnarok Valhalla DLC reveal at The Game Awards 2023 later, and it’s now time for you and me to resume the slaying of mythological beings with everyone’s favorite angry father.

Amazingly, the Valhalla DLC is free. Not a single piece of Hacksilver needs to be spent, but how to play the new content might not be entirely obvious. If you’re finding this to be the case and want to stop hurling your Leviathan Axe around in anger, I’ve got you covered.

To start up and play the free Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok, you need to download the Valhalla DLC from the PlayStation Store and commence the action from the main menu.

Let’s simplify things even further, shall we:

  1. If you already own God of War Ragnarok, boot up the game.
  2. Once you get to the main menu, as shown above, scroll down to “Valhalla“.
  3. Doing so will automatically take you to the PlayStation Store.
  4. Press to download the Valhalla DLC that it suggests.
  5. Once the relatively small GOW Ragnarok Valhalla DLC file size is installed, press the “Valhalla” option again on the main menu to begin the DLC.

The good news is that you don’t need to finish God of War Ragnarok to play the DLC, nor do you even need to have started the main game. As long as you’ve purchased it and own it, then you can hop straight into the Valhalla DLC addition to kick some Norse butt.
