God of War Ragnarok is one of the biggest launches of the year, & its physical sales have beaten some renowned names like Elden Ring, Call Of Duty, & Pokemon in the United Kingdom. It seems God of War fans in the UK are enjoying the title more than other places, as God of War Ragnarok broke a series record recently. The latest title saw the biggest launch from the franchise in the UK based on physical sales.
Now God of War Ragnarok has achieved another key milestone by beating several notable game titles at the UK physical sales box office. As things st&, the latest entry from the God of War franchise is only behind FIFA 23 this year, as it saw the second-biggest physical sales launch in the UK.
God of War Ragnarok dethroned the previous number two, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, & beat other notable titles like Elden Ring & Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Readers should note this data is only based on physical sales & excludes digital downloads. Regardless, God of War Ragnarok‘s performance at the box office is commendable. The game sold more boxed copies on the first day than any other previous God of War game. GfK reports that Ragnarok sold 51% more physical copies than God of War (2018), the previous best-seller.

Furthermore, GfK’s weekend UK physical sales chart for November 12 saw another new entry, Sonic Frontiers, resting at the fourth spot. God of War Ragnarok, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, & FIFA 23 occupy the top three positions in the aforementioned chart, followed by Sonic Frontiers & Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Surprisingly, another Sony title made it to the top ten physical games in the UK, Horizon Forbidden West. The action-RPG climbed to the seventh spot from the 12th after seeing a 141% increment. Meanwhile, Animal Crossing: New Horizons & Minecraft on Nintendo Switch slipped to ninth & tenth positions, respectively.
However, experts suggest the download sales data of God of War Ragnarok will paint a clearer picture of its commercial performance. Besides smashing box office records, the action-adventure game from Santa Monica Studio saw a warm response from critics & fans alike.
