God of War Ragnarok: Can You Keep Playing After Beating the Story?

The short answer is yes, you can keep playing after beating the story. We won't spoil anything, but once you finally reach the end, some of the credits will overlay the gameplay. Once these credits are done, you'll enter a post-game chapter called Beyond Ragnarok.

In this phase of the game, you can freely travel between all the realms and explore them to your heart's content. In fact, there are a few things that are only available to you after you beat the story, so it's worth jumping back in if you want to see it all.

This is also the perfect opportunity to go back and find any missing collectibles, unlock new armour, defeat optional bosses, complete outstanding Favours, and take on challenges at The Crucible. Nothing is missable — you can do all the side content after the credits, so you can carry on with the story without worrying.
