Thus, it was revealed that the sequel to God of War (2018) sold a total of 5.1 million units worldwide during its first week available.
God of War: Ragnarok became the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game at launch, thereby becoming the franchise’s record for number of sales in its debut week.

The first sales figures came from the United Kingdom, where the game was already the best opening of the series.
God of War: Ragnarok became the third best release of the past week in Japan, a market where Sony does not dominate the market, after Tactics Ogre: Reborn and Sonic Frontiers, even though its 40,637 physical copies sold were well received.
A game with no expansions
The runaway success of God of War: Ragnarok won’t change Santa Monica’s custom. The game director has already spoken of the slim chances of the game to be expanded as he considers it big enough.
