How many copies did God of War Ragnarök sell during its first week?

God of War Ragnarök sold 5.1 million copies during its first week.

Sony announced the figure shortly after the game’s November 2022 launch. The total counted sales across its PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions, making Ragnarök the fastest-selling first-party launch in PlayStation history at the time of the announcement.

This figure refers to the first week, not the game’s lifetime sales. It is also different from player counts, downloads, or copies included in subscription services. The game launched simultaneously on two PlayStation console generations, giving it a larger potential audience than a PlayStation 5-only release.

Ragnarök’s performance followed the strong reception of God of War (2018), which had established Kratos’s Norse setting and introduced Atreus as a central character. The sequel expanded that story into a conflict involving Ragnarök and the major Norse gods.
