God of War Ragnarok Leads PlayStation Studios' PS5-Era Earnings

God of War Ragnarok has come out on top of a new ranking of the highest-grossing PlayStation Studios games from the PS5 generation. The list comes from Alinea Analytics, a market research firm that tracks the sales performance of major console releases.

Sony Santa Monica Studio released the game in November 2022 on PS4 and PS5. It continued the Norse story of Kratos and his son Atreus that began with the 2018 reboot, and it became one of the most visible titles in Sony's first-party lineup during the years that followed.

The source material does not include the revenue figures behind Alinea's ordering, so the placement should be read as the firm's own assessment rather than a figure Sony has published. Even so, the result points to a title that has kept earning well long after its launch window, which is not a given for a single-player blockbuster.

For Sony, the ranking is a reminder of how much of its first-party business rests on a handful of franchises. Santa Monica's work on God of War has been one of the studio's strongest commercial stories of the generation, and the company's recent releases will be measured against it.
