According to the official PlayStation Twitter account, God of War: Ragnarok managed to outsell any other first-party PlayStation title during its release week. Sony says that with 5.1 million sales in the first week of the game, The Last of Us Part II, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Ragnarok’s predecessor God of War (2018).

Released on November 9, the AAA action-adventure game has the same score as the previous game, with a 94 percent score on Metacritic based on 135 critical reviews.
Comparing sales with previous exclusive games doesn’t always give a clear result. The company used various timeframes for different games, presumably to meet their immediate PR needs. For example, it announced first three-day sales for The Last of Us Part II (four million in 2020), Marvel’s Spider-Man (3.3 million in 2018), and God of War (3.1 million in 2018). Still, Ragnarok’s first-week sales nearly doubled the sales of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, which sold 2.7 million in the first week of 2016.
