Over the course of its debut week,God of War Ragnarokshifted a staggering 5.1 million combined physical and digital copies, not only breaking launch records for the long-running mythological franchise, butalsobeating launch records for every single first-party game in PlayStation history, dating right back to the brand’s debut in 1994. That’s a meaty feat.
