Sony’s statement also showed that the sales of 5.1 million PS5 and PS4 copies was a record for PlayStation. Accordingly, God of War: Ragnarök became the fastest-selling first-party game in PlayStation history. The game also broke a record in this regard in the God of War series, which entered our lives in 2005.
The announcement shows that the new production surpasses popular PlayStation games such as Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Returnal. In addition, developer Santa Monica Studio thinks that the sequel will succeed one day ahead of 2018’s God of War, which reached 23 million sales earlier this month.
Finally, the head of PlayStation Studios, Hermen Hulst, also thanked the fans for the success in a post on Twitter: “We would like to thank all PlayStation fans for making God of War Ragnarok the fastest selling game of PlayStation Studios. And congratulations to Santa Monica Studios for this incredible achievement.”
