God of War Ragnarok is PlayStation's most successful game this generation, says market analyst

God of War Ragnarok attracted accolades like magnets in 2022 even though it lost the main Game of the Year title to Elden Ring, and now here we are four years later handing the game yet another achievement. According to a prominent industry market analyst, God of War Ragnarok is the top-grossing first-party PlayStation game of this console generation.

Rhys Elliott, head of market analysis at Alinea Analytics, took to Twitter to share some new data about God of War Ragnarok's lifetime sales. According to that data, the game has sold 21.6 million copies across PlayStation and Steam, with Steam sales accounting for just 1.6 million of those copies sold. That amounts to $1.4 billion in gross revenue, catapulting it to the top of PlayStation's slate of first-party games for this generation.

As if reading your thoughts, Elliott knows you're wondering how God of War Ragnarok beats out a juggernaut like Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which obviously has massive crossover potential with one of the biggest fandoms in film, TV, and comics. Elliott notes that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a PS5 console exclusive, meaning it's not available on PS4 like God of War Ragnarok. That lowers its install base hugely. Also, God of War Ragnarok came out about a year before Marvel's Spider-Man 2, giving it more time to accumulate those sales. Still, God of War Ragnarok wears the PlayStation crown this generation.

"It's another PlayStation evergreen seller, too," Elliott says.
