Have you played God of War Ragnarök for yourself? And are you amazed to hear that the video game has already sold this numerous copies? Let me understand either down in the remarks or reach out to me on social networks at @MooreMan12.

Announced today on social media, PlayStation confirmed that God of War Ragnarök has become the most significant video game in the history of the video game brand. In overall, Ragnarök offered 5.1 million copies in its very first week alone, which makes it the best-selling game at launch for any God of War title. Outside the God of War series alone, however, PlayStation likewise exposed that Ragnarök is the fastest-selling first-party game that has actually ever been published by PlayStation. In other words, the highly-anticipated sequel has actually been nothing brief of a significant hit for those at Sony and designer Santa Monica Studio.

While it was presumed that God of War Ragnarök would be a huge success for PlayStation to close out 2022, it turns out that the game has actually done much better than expected. And while these franchises are all huge in their own right, none of them have ever had a video game sell as well at launch as God of War Ragnarök.

It's a bit shocking to see simply how well God of War Ragnarök has actually done, the video game did have one major thing in its favor compared to a number of previous PlayStation releases. Specifically, Ragnarök had the advantage of launching throughout both PS5 and PS4, which suggests that it naturally had a larger number of users that might purchase the game.
