It is also to be noted that the game has around 5.238% of global shares in the stream. Whereas Call of Duty MWII is going down by 38.3% in viewership. Leading to 81.6K views, and having only 3.158% shares in the total streams worldwide. Undoubtedly, the GOW is making progress in the streaming community. It will hopefully remain the same for some time now.

But some other reports from Final Weapon, show that the game is also the second most game to be viewed on Twitch that is released by PlayStation. According to them, The Last of Us Part 2 (with 508K+ viewership) is still the most viewed PlayStation game. It is followed by GoW Ragnarok (with 478K+ viewership) and Ghost of Tsushima (with 315K+ viewership).

Just hours after its release, charts firm GfK head Dorian Bloch predicted that God of War Ragnarök will premiere at No. 1 on next week’s sales rankings. He said, that the game is the “first cross-gen title in the series.” 

“Day 1 physical sales were already greater than any other full-week launch sales for other titles in this franchise,” Bloch further continued. Notably, according to Sony’s Quarterly Reports, with 23 million sales, the series revival for God Of War was one of the most popular games ever produced exclusively for the PlayStation. And Ragnarök was projected to do similarly.
