God of War Ragnarok Tops PlayStation Sales Chart
Analyst Rhys Elliott says the game is the highest-grossing first-party PlayStation title of this console generation.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Gaming
Market analyst Rhys Elliott reported that God of War Ragnarok is the top-grossing first-party PlayStation game of this console generation, with 21.6 million copies sold across PlayStation and Steam. The game has generated $1.4 billion in gross revenue.
Why it matters
The figures show the title's commercial reach across both platforms and underscore the franchise's growing value as Sony expands the series into film and television. Its sustained sales also indicate continued demand well after launch.
Lifetime sales total 21.6 million copies, including 1.6 million on Steam, generating $1.4 billion in gross revenue. So far this year, the game has sold 1.1 million copies and generated nearly $60 million, about 68% of it on PlayStation; the analyst did not detail how these figures were independently verified.

Dave Bautista

The details
Elliott shared the sales data in a post on Twitter and also predicted that the God of War television series, in development at Prime Video with Dave Bautista, will be bigger than Fallout. The game has been accessed by 6.7 million PlayStation Plus subscribers since being added to the PlayStation Plus Extra tier about two years ago.
Timeline
2022: God of War Ragnarok released to critical acclaim.
About two years ago: Added to PlayStation Plus Extra.
2026: Sold 1.1 million copies so far this year.
May 20, 2027: God of War Laufey scheduled for release following a recent delay.
Franchise Crossover
Elliott's comparison of the upcoming God of War series to Fallout places it within the trend of large game franchises expanding into prestige television on streaming platforms, with Amazon's Prime Video adapting both. The projection remains unverified and depends on the series' eventual reception.
The God of War Ragnarok game is available to PlayStation Plus subscribers through the Extra tier, which gives subscribers access to the title as part of their membership. The God of War Laufey release on May 20, 2027, will be the next entry in the series for players to access.
The takeaway
Sales totals and franchise adaptations suggest God of War Ragnarok remains a commercially significant title well beyond its launch window. Players interested in the series can check PlayStation Plus Extra availability before the next release.
