That God of War would sell well was already expected considering the hype surrounding the game. What hardly anyone expected was that it would sell over three million copies in just three days following its April 20th release. The newest adventures of Kratos is basically the fastest-selling exclusive title for the PlayStation 4, outpacing the previous title-holder by leaps and bounds.
With a franchise as celebrated as the God of War series, selling millions of copies is just a given. The fact that the reboot got so many rave reviews only cemented this eventuality. According to a recent blog post from Sony, the company revealed that from April 20 to 22, the Godly father and son adventure saw global sales that totaled 3.1 million copies.
The post also features a statement from Santa Monica Studio head Shannon Studstill: “I would like to personally thank the millions of fans around the world who decided to embark on Kratos’ latest adventure with us. Your support is truly inspiring, and it’s a reason why we push ourselves every day to go beyond the boundaries of play. I’d also like to thank our Creative Director, Cory Barlog, and Director of Product Development, Yumi Yang and our entire amazing team at Santa Monica Studio. The belief in the game’s vision and the passion for storytelling across the team is undeniable. We look forward to hearing more about how fans are creating new memories of their favorite God of War gameplay moments that will be remembered for a long time.”
God of War sold more copies than previous record-holders in a much shorter period of time, Forbes reports. Uncharted 4 sold 2.7 million copies in a week while Horizon: Zero Dawn sold 2.6 million copies in two weeks.
The publication also noted how the positive reviews and the community hype fueled the sales performance of the game. It would have always sold well. The fireworks simply sent it to overdrive.
