PC SDK Runtime missing
If I launche the game an Error occurs. it says "The program can't start because Playstation(R) PC SDK Runtime is missing from your computer."
I reinstalled the Game multiple times and tried to repair it in the game properties but the error still occurs.
Is anyone else having this problem and knows how to fix it?

From Task Scheduler, create a new Basic Task.
Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc\PSPC_SDK\S22\2.52.00.01 and set "PsPcSdkAppMgr.exe" to open at user login.
After doing that, run the task, and the issue should be fixed.
If it's not fixed, restart your PC. Now it should be gone

Rus - Ребята я нашел решение проблемы. Я не знаю поможет ли это вам потому что я спиратил. Вобщем заходите в папку где вы установили игру и найдите там файл под названием (install_pspc_sdk_runtime.bat) Нажмите по нему 2 раза и дождитесь окончательной загрузки. Мне лично это помогло."

Eng - Guys, I found a solution to the problem. I don't know if this will help you because I pirated it. In general, go to the folder where you installed the game and find a file called (install_pspc_sdk_runtime.bat) Click on it 2 times and wait for the final download. Personally, this helped me.

Укр - Хлопці я знайшов вирішення проблеми. Я не знаю, чи допоможе це вам тому, що я спіратил. Втім заходьте в папку де ви встановили гру і знайдіть там файл під назвою (install_pspc_sdk_runtime.bat) Натисніть по ньому 2 рази і дочекайтеся остаточного завантаження. Мені особисто це допомогло.

These runtimes should be installed automatically when you open the game for the first time on Steam. I have no idea why it's not for some people.

Please try manually installing the MSI files, they can be found here:

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\God of War Ragnarok

PsPcSdkRuntimeInstaller.msi
PsPcSdkRuntimeManager.msi

I Was Trying So Many Different Things To Try To Figure This Out And All Of A Sudden It Just Worked. I Went Into Task Manager, Searched Windows Installer And Hit End Task. Then Hit Play On Steam. Let Me Know If It Works For Anybody Else Having This Issue.

As a side note, if running the MSI files in the Steam folder doesn't work (it didn't for me) then deleting the Sony Interactive Entertainment folder in C:\ProgramData then re-running those files did work.

I've tried this multiple times. The installer fails:

"PlayStation(R) PC SDK Runtime installation was failed. 0,1603"

Please advise, thanks.

Try removing the Sony Interactive Entertainment folder from C:\ProgramData and then run those MSI files as administrator. Whilst I didn't have the failure error you have, it may help.

I've removed the Sony folder multiple times and I've tried running the MSi installer as admin via powershell, issue persists. I have verbose log files from the installers that I can provide if there's an actual support contact out there.

this is what worked for me, when I opened the game for the first time I guess the installer got stuck somehow and not even restarting pc and verifying files worked, but closing down that msiexec.exe program worked like a charm the next time I opened the game

I tried this multiple times but I get an error message that the file packs are not available.

Try this solution and let me know if it works. This is how I fixed it for me.

Sorry some of the suggested solutions haven't worked. However, if you bought it on Steam and have barely any time logged you could always request a refund.
