God of War Ragnarok launches this week as a PlayStation exclusive, and it appears that a shameless ripoff of Sony’s blockbuster that was removed from the Microsoft Store earlier this year has managed to find its way back.
The awkwardly-named War Gods Zeus of Child was spotted by various outlets shortly after its July release, with Eurogamer later reporting that it had been pulled from sale after a matter of days. Now, though, as Ragnarok approaches, look who’s back on the Xbox Store…
Knock-off God of War back on Xbox Store
While we’re sure War Gods Zeus of Child won’t last long this time either, a few similar questionable products of the Xbox Creators Program have somehow managed to stick around much longer than anyone would realistically expect. Spiderhuman Shooter has miraculously survived more than a year, for instance, although most do tend to get pulled pretty quickly. The Creators Program is great for smaller developers who want to get their games on the Xbox platform, but it seems to be in need of proper curation if things like this are repeatedly able to slip through.

And rather than wasting money on very-much-not-official stuff like War Gods Zeus of Child, why not save some cash and try out some of the best free Xbox games instead?
