As they point out with glee from Sony, God of War Ragnarok is the fastest-shipping game at launch in PlayStation history, placing no less than 5.1 million units in its first weekend on salethus overthrowing the title held until now by the brand and which is none other than The Last of Us Part II.
Also, as is obvious, God of War Ragnarok is the title of the franchise in the same period of time and not by little: the previous god of war for PS4 sold 3.1 million units in its opening weekend. In fact, he came to score the same mark that he now holds God of War Ragnarokalthough it did not last long: first spider-man and then Last of Us they took his position.
It should be noted, however, that while the former god of war It was released exclusively for PS4, God of War Ragnarok It has also done it for PS5 and in this note sales are counted for both deviceswithout specifying which of the two has sold the most, although everything points to the previous version of the console for the time it has been on the market.
Still, the best of God of War Ragnarok is the game itself, one of the most acclaimed of the year and a firm contender for some of the biggest prizes in the industry.
