Motion blur applies a visual smearing effect to full-screen camera turns and fast-moving objects to simulate real-world motion. While designed to increase cinematic realism, screen-wide blurring during camera motion can interfere with visual clarity and tracking.
Access needs and preferences vary among players, so having direct control over motion blur allows individuals to configure visual effects to match their comfort level.
God of War Ragnarök
God of War Ragnarök includes an independent Motion Blur setting in its visual accessibility menu.
This built-in option uses a numerical slider scaled from 0 to 10. Setting the slider to 0 completely disables motion blur during gameplay and combat camera turns. The menu also provides a separate slider for film grain and individual controls for camera shake and ambient camera sway.
- Type: Built-in feature
- Supported platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store)
- Requirements: Base game updated to current version
- Limitations: Disabling motion blur does not remove predetermined motion effects used in prerendered cinematic cutscenes.
- Location: Settings > Gameplay > Motion Blur (or Settings > Accessibility > Motion Blur)
Official documentation is available through the God of War Ragnarök Accessibility Features Guide.

- Type: Built-in feature
- Supported platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S
