God of War Ragnarok Hits $1.4 Billion as GTA 6 Looms
God of War Ragnarok has reportedly earned $1.4 billion across PS and Steam, making it Sony's top first-party earner this generation. Can GTA 6 top that?
Sony's biggest first-party money-maker this generation isn't a new release — it's God of War Ragnarok, and it just keeps printing money. According to estimates from market analytics firm Alinea Analytics (via FandomWire), Kratos' latest outing has moved around 21.6 million copies across PlayStation and Steam, raking in a whopping $1.4 billion in total revenue.
What's really wild is that this is a game that came out years ago, and it's still selling like it launched last week. In 2026 alone, Ragnarok has reportedly sold about 1.1 million copies, pulling in close to $60 million. That's a serious number for a title that's been out for ages.
And here's the kicker: it's been sitting in the PS Plus Extra catalog for roughly two years now. You'd think a subscription library spot would cannibalize sales, but nope — the game hasn't lost its grip on the market one bit. If anything, it's proof that quality single-player experiences have serious legs.
Of course, the elephant in the room is GTA 6. Rockstar's long-awaited juggernaut is almost here, and the industry is bracing for what could be one of the biggest commercial spectacles gaming has ever seen. As one of the most anticipated games in recent memory, everyone's wondering just how many copies it'll move and how much cash it'll rake in.
For now, though, God of War Ragnarok's numbers are already staggering. Whether GTA 6 can smash new sales records is a question that'll only be answered once the game actually launches. The hype is real, but so is the pressure.
So what do you think — how many copies will GTA 6 sell in the end? Does it have what it takes to rewrite the industry's commercial record books? Drop your predictions in the comments and let's argue about it.
