Given how much the title was anticipated and talked about in recent weeks, there was no doubt that God of War Ragnarok would top the charts for PlayStation and Santa Monica Studio. The question now was how high, and if it would beat out 2018’s God of War and other PlayStation first-party games. The result was a long time coming, but today we have the confirmation: God of War Ragnarok has simply achieved the best start for a PlayStation Studios game.
Kratos and Atreus on top of the world
With this excellent launch, this episode manages to break the record of the previous episode, and to hold a new record for the license. We even have the first figures to prove it, since PlayStation indicates that God of War Ragnarok has already sold 5.1 million copies since its launch on November 9th. This figure includes sales on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
This means that it has surpassed the other PlayStation Studios games, at least during the launch period. Now it has to catch up with the 23 million copies sold of the first game, which won’t be an easy task, although with a first day like this, anything is possible.
God of War Ragnarok is currently supported on PS4 and PS5. If you want to know more about the game, feel free to check out our full written review.
