November 5, 2026
Ragnarok remains ahead of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in part due to PS5 exclusivity and timing, which has allowed a larger install base to accumulate sales.
About 6.7 million PlayStation Plus subscribers have accessed Ragnarok, underscoring strong engagement despite potential service cannibalization.
Ragnarok has been available to PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers for roughly two years, contributing an estimated 6.7 million players who have tried the game via the service.
Media tie-ins are in play, including a God of War TV series in development for Prime Video starring Dave Bautista, which analysts expect could be massive and potentially bigger than Fallout.
Looking ahead, God of War Laufey is set to be the next Norse entry, featuring Laufey as the playable character, with a May 20, 2027 release after a delay.
The franchise’s enduring strength across games and media helps sustain cross‑media interest and ongoing sales, including the Prime Video adaptation and upcoming titles.
God of War: Ragnarok continues to be a powerhouse, with Steam sales and 20.1 million copies sold on PlayStation to date, of which 75.2% came via PS5.
In 2026 alone, Ragnarok moved 1.1 million copies and generated about $60 million, with roughly 68% of that revenue on PlayStation platforms.
In 2026, Ragnarok outsold several new releases, notably Gears of War: E-Day and Saros.
God of War: Ragnarok has sold 21.6 million copies and generated about $1.4 billion in revenue, making it the most profitable first‑party PlayStation Studios game of this generation.
Overall, Ragnarok stands as the top‑grossing first‑party PlayStation game of this generation, with lifetime sales of 21.6 million copies across PlayStation and Steam and $1.4 billion in gross revenue.
Analysts emphasize Ragnarok’s profitability endures well after launch, highlighting the monetization potential of major Sony first‑party titles.
