God of War Ragnarok is the UK's second biggest boxed game launch of the year, behind FIFA 23.
It means the PlayStation game sold more boxed copies in its first week than Elden Ring, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and the previous second place: Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
God of War Ragnarok gets an official release date on the Steam Store, but Steam Deck fans are left uncertain about its fate on the handheld.
Sony Interactive Entertainment's upcoming single-player PC games like God of War Ragnarok and Until Dawn will require a PSN account.
Sony will lose support and money from 177 countries that support Steam but do not support PSN!
Tell me about stupidity, I'll tell you Sony.
Its concern is to increase the number of PSN subscribers, at the expense of profit and
More sales for their games from 177 countries.
Are we always going to get news articles on this? Yes, any Sony game on PC now requires a PSN and won’t be accessible to regions that don’t have the PSN infrastructure.
Why is this a problem? Just curious. Don't you need accounts for Steam, Xbox, Gog, Epic Games,EA, Blizzard,etc..? Why is it a problem if you need PSN?
MAUs is clearly just as important to Sony.
I say make signing into PSN optional. Give players a reason to use it.. like the recently announced layer that lets you earn trophies.
I'm not bothered but there are countries who won't have access to the game because of this.
Release date and PC features for God of War Ragnarök announced.
Next up, Last of Us Part 2, then Spiderman 2, and most likely Demon Souls in between. I know the argument is that they take 2 years and "who is gonna wait 2 years?" Blah blah blah, but most of their recent and all of their PS5 games, with the exception being Demon Souls, have made their way to PC. Never thought I'd see the day where I wasn't going crazy over not owning a PS, but now I don't want a PS5 at all.
Well, 82% of sales on PS5. More than a 4-1 split in favor of PS5. People have said for the last two years that Sony HAD to still launch their games on PS4 because that's where all the money is because of the vaunted install base, and once again the install base fails to turn up.
I wonder how much worse this split will be when Resident Evil 4 Remake comes out and even more of the last PS4 owners still buying non-annual games have switched over. My guess is that one will be 5-1 or 6-1.
“God of War Ragnarok launch was bigger than Call of Duty, Elden Ring and Pokémon”
Until you include the digital copies… and then COD will obviously have outsold GOWR by a large margin.
Good God, phenomenal numbers, well done SSM, truly one of the best games i have ever played, a masterpiece.
Lol. This title... good job selling boxed copies, I guess?!?
im not surprised, so many people were looking forward to this
