God of War Ragnarok Is the Fastest Selling First-party Game in PlayStation History, Sony Announced
/
The official PlayStation Twitter account announced that God of War Ragnarok has reached 5.1 million copies sold during its debut week, making it the fastest selling first-party title in PlayStation’s history.
For comparison, the 2018 God of War reached 3.1 million sales in its first three days. The last record holder for fastest selling first-party title was The Last of Us Part 2 as Sony announced that it sold over 4 million copies in its first three days on the PS4.
There’s weight in this announcement as Gamesindustry.biz also reported a few weeks ago that Ragnarok has already had the biggest launch in the franchise’s history.
An amazing feat as the game is not only selling really well, but also being praised by critics and fans as in Metacritic it stands with a solid 94 score and a 8.3 user score.
I had nothing but good things to say about God of War Ragnarok in my review.
Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.
