Santa Monica Studios Rejoices as PlayStation Exclusive God of War Breaks Numerous Sales Records

It is not been long since God of War: Ragnarök’s Launch, as one of the most anticipated first-party PlayStation titles. This game really topped a few sales charts. All thanks to the game’s fans and also the universally rave reviews that it got from both fans and critics alike.

During its launch week, Kratos’ latest adventure raced right past Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Elden Ring in most boxed sales at launch, only staying behind FIFA 23.

All these charts were just the beginning, it seems. Today the official PlayStation account congratulated developers Santa Monica Studios for their game being the fastest-selling PlayStation first-party title ever. And mind you, this is not a small feat either. PlayStation’s first-party titles are known to sell like hotcakes.

Aside from being the fastest-selling first-party title, God of War: Ragnarok is also the best-selling game in the whole series. And this series, as we know, is already quite popular. We are sure all these achievements make Sony and Santa Monica Studios as proud of the game as Kratos is of Atreus.

But its scale was larger and its focus was more on sending fans a heartfelt message that obviously got through.
