God of War Ragnarok has established a new record for the fastest-selling first-party launch in PlayStation history, according to Sony. The sequel to the renowned god-slaying franchise’s reinvention in 2018 has been one of the most eagerly awaited releases of 2022. With barely two weeks after its release, the game has already shown to be a strong sales force, outselling brands such as Pokemon and Call of Duty. Sony has now revealed that the latest God of War has not only set a record for the series but also for PlayStation in general.
While God of War Ragnarok has been one of the year’s most anticipated games, the creation of the next God of War was not without its challenges. Ragnarok was previously delayed many times, with its initial release date of 2021 being pushed back. The game’s success is already evident, as seen by strong sales figures and a nomination for Game of the Year at The Game Awards. God of War Ragnarok is currently shattering franchise and Sony records.
