We've known the latest God of War has been something of a powerhouse for Sony, but it was in part expected. The series has historically been a major seller for the platform holder. However, the PlayStation 4 outing has gone above and beyond. Before Marvel's Spider-Man came along, it held the record as the fastest selling first party title in the company's history, selling 5 million copies in its first month on the market.
Now, we know that figure has more than doubled. As part of a new presentation from Sony, it's been officially stated that God of War has sold over 10 million units, joining Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and The Last of Us Remastered as one of PS4's best selling exclusives. A few months ago, it was reported that Spidey has sold over 9 million copies, so we imagine it's also nearing the milestone, if it hasn't crossed it already.
Sony has highlighted the growth of its first party studios and games in the same report. It seems it'll also be expanding its worldwide studios in the future, according to Jim Ryan.
By the way, if you're interested in seeing how the latest God of War was made, Raising Kratos is available to watch on YouTube now, and comes highly recommended.

Word up son
Great news, but expected. GOW sold over 9 million in 4 months, so it was bound to pass the milestone.
The interesting tidbit to me is that it looks like UC4 is at around 17million, making it the best selling PS First Party game on a single console.
Ready for ragnarok
Man can’t wait to see the sequel on ps5, I still need to platinum the first game thought. After I finish spider-man dlc I think.
I finished the story recently, just before Days Gone arrived. It's a very good game, but for me, it's not masterpiece others find it to be. I haven't played any of the previous games, and to be honest, I'm not sure I'd bother with a sequel.
congrats to everyone making this masterpiece.king kratos reign supreme just like queens New York.best game ever.word up son
Stunning masterpiece and up there as one of the best games I have played.
Best game in years and in my top 5 personally. Deserves all the success and more, can't wait for the sequel!!
Everyone who enjoyed the game and probably others too should definitely watch that documentary about the making of the game. I hope Sony does more of this with it’s other studios.
SSB Ultimate about 13 million to date with 34 million Switch units.
GoW 10 million with about 96 million PS4 units to date.
Interesting numbers.
