Furthermore, the report also mentions the PC version succeeded in selling 3 million copies in the first three days of its release. With that said, the original GoW now stands alongside The Last of Us, Horizon, and Uncharted as the most-prized PlayStation gaming IPs. This is definitely a huge win for Sony, especially considering the fact that the next chapter in the GoW saga is merely days away.
It looks like the upcoming installment will also set new records for the ever growing franchise by Santa Monica Studio. Ragnarok comes out on November 9th, 2022. Players will be able to enjoy it on the PS5 and PS4.
