Living up to four years of hype, Sony Santa Monica’s God of War Ragnarok is enjoying truly unprecedented success at launch. The game is the fourth chart-topping God of War title in the UK, and now market research company GfK has revealed that God of War Ragnarok’s UK sales on launch day alone have surpassed the full-week launch sales numbers of any other title in the series.

According to GfK, 2018’s God of War brought the series to its greatest heights in the region, coming in as that year’s fifth-largest PlayStation game with launch week and lifetime sales greater than any previous title in the series. Four years later, God of War Ragnarok has broken all those records, with its Day 1 sales in the UK surpassing the full launch week sales number for all previous titles in the series.

GfK has also revealed that 55% of PS5 console sales this week are part of the God of War hardware bundle. And those are just physical sales, meaning God of War Ragnarok may become even more of a market behemoth when its digital sales are added to the equation in the coming weeks. 

God of War Ragnarok, in all its success and well-deserved glory, is available now for the PS4 and PS5. Check out our review of this new chapter in the journey of Kratos and Atreus, which we simply could not get enough of.
