God of War is a legendary series of all time and has managed to mesmerise the entire gaming community. The latest game - God of War Ragnarok - sees Kratos and Atreus embark on a new adventure that ends the two game-long chapters. Players get to experience an engaging story and an endless experience, alongside fluid and entertaining combat with next-gen visuals. The combination of these elements and Kratos' high skills has made it a fan-favorite, which has led to God of War: Ragnarok becoming the fastest-selling launch title in Sony PlayStation history. According to a tweet, 5.1 million copies of God of War Ragnarok were purchased during its debut week. This means the God of War franchise has also set a record.

These sales include both PS4 and PS5 copies, as well as physical and digital sales. However, several games spread across two platforms have come and gone before it without hitting such a record. If we talk about the old game God of War (2018), then that game has sold 23 million copies on PlayStation 4 and PC as of November 2022. Back in October 2022, it was reported that the game sold 19.5 million copies, but its launch on PC pushed it to a much wider audience. God of War (2018) was also Sony's biggest launch on PC, and it is possible that Sony could also bring God of War: Ragnarok to PC and boost its sales.

Santa Monica put a lot of effort into the game by taking care of villain characters like Thor, Heimdall and Odin. God of War Ragnarok is an excellent achievement and creates a new high that makes many of its peers look positively mortal by comparison.

This game has easily created a mark for itself in a very short time and has become a serious contender for the Game of the Year award. According to a newly published report by Exputer, it seems that this game does not stop here. This is because the report indicates that players who purchased the game have also completed the game. Stats wise, a whopping 41.91% of all the players that have purchased the game God of War: Ragnarok have finished the main story. I also bought this game and it’s amazing. I bought it on PS4 and my experience was brilliant. The original story, along with Kratos' looks, skills and Atreus' transformations are awesome. I recorded some clips on my PS4 while playing this game and want to share them with you. Here are two clips that I have recorded while.

On the Internet, God of War: Ragnarok's hold over the industry remains strong. As reported by Exputer, a weekly report for week 45 shows that God of War: Ragnarok is dominating the South Korean as well as the Taiwanese market. Here are the sales reports provided by Pierre485.

In my opinion, if you are a gamer and want to experience God level power, then this game is best for you. After completing or spending some time, you will face Thor: The God of Thunder. The fight will be epic and you haven't expected itWhen comparing Marvel's Thor to GoW Ragnarok, there is a huge difference. While the game is fantastic, if you have a PS5, you are about to experience realistic graphics. The game is also enjoyable on PS4. You can play it on 1080P settingsSo don't wait, buy it and have a blast!

If you already purchased the new God of War Ragnarok and played it on your console, then tell me your experience in the comment
