Santa Monica Studio’s God of War Ragnarök sold 5.1 million copies in its first week, making the game the fast-selling PlayStation first-party title, Sony has confirmed. Ragnarök, the sequel to 2018’s God of War which sold 3.1 million copies within the same timeframe, beats The Last of Us Part II to the record, which sold more than 4 million copies in its first week of launch.
Those looking forward to a DLC for God of War Ragnarök might have to forget that, as game director Eric Williams told Kinda Funny Games, it won’t happen in a recent interview. “I don’t know, man, that game is big,” Williams said when quizzed about the prospect of a DLC. “I think we put everything we had into it, so I wouldn’t count on it.” The game didn’t get a Photo Mode at launch, but Santa Monica Studio is working on a free update for it.
God of War Ragnarök was released on November 9th on the PS5 and PS4. The game is one of the best-rated games ever on Metacritic, with a 94 per cent score based on 136 critic reviews.
