You can get a surprising amount of information from Trophy data, so we thought it'd be interesting to check in on God of War Ragnarok. Sony's latest blockbuster released roughly two weeks ago at the time of writing, and the Trophies show that a decent number of players have beaten the game.
More specifically, 24.8 per cent of fans have completed the main story. In an age where Trophy data typically shows us that most gamers don't actually finish their games, that's a solid result for Sony and Santa Monica Studio, again, just two weeks after launch. It's a figure that'll likely only increase as time goes on as well — Ragnarok is a big game, after all, and it'll take a lot of players more time to see Kratos' adventure through.
But then you look at the Platinum Trophy unlock rate, and only 3.9 per cent of players went on to collect every one of the game's virtual gongs. It's not a particularly difficult Platinum, but hunting for collectibles and backtracking to find treasure chests that you might have missed can be very time consuming. We would assume that a lot of players will see the credits roll and leave it there — at least for now.
Have you beaten God of War Ragnarok yet, or are you taking your time? Let us know how many Trophies you've got left to unlock in the comments section below.

I'm jealous of 25% of God of War Ragnarok players who have already had enough free time to finish it.
On "give me no mercy" difficulty for the main story and "give me balance" difficulty for everything post-game, it was an approximate 55-hour platinum for me.
I've been very busy lately and only about 30 hour in so far doing a lot of sidequest stuff. Off to the rugby again this weekend so won't get much playtime then either. Should be done in 2-3 more weeks though.
@RBMango "Give me balance" has been tough at times. Quite a few difficult bosses and random deaths. Beat a couple of the graves, rifts and whatever the sink hole ones are called last night though. Felt good!
I’m just chilling my time through the game and enjoying and collecting and fighting ☠️
I need more free time! On a personal, life choices, level this is such a disappointing fact. (genuinely love the game, but am about 60-70% percent through)
To be honest, 15 hours in I'm feeling a little burnt out on it. I think I'm going to step away for a bit. I don't know what it is exactly.
@RBMango Sounds about right, I'm most likely getting close to the end (having done the majority of side content too) on the same setting. Berserkers are giving me a tough time though
It’s at times like this that I realise my incredulity at people demanding day one releases on subscription services might be more uncommon that anticipated. Some people have far, far, more time to play games than I do.
I think im close to the finish...I hope I'm close to the finish. I want to start Evil West!
@Voltan I liked most of the berserker fights, even the final one. Most felt like a fair challenge. However, I wish they had cut back on the quantity of them, because it's obvious the developers ran out of ideas for them after a certain point.
21 hours in and I’ve only just got to the bit where Kratos opens a McDonalds franchise in Muspelheim. I’m Loving It so far.
I've done the main story, now just going through everything else. Really just the beserkers to go.
Got the platinum yesterday at just under 60 hours, Give Me No Mercy difficulty. Great game.
Taking my sweet time it's gorgeous and doing the side stuff!
Still not managed to play much of it yet think it will probably be next week on me properly getting into it hopefully anyway, probably done about 5hrs ish so far. Off to cardiff for the rugby this weekend so no chance of playing it 😔
I'll probably be joining that number by the weekend. Such a fantastic game.
More like this please Sony, Concentrate on games like this and you will always get my money!
God of war ragnarok is a masterpiece.and a beautiful game.take your time.kratos the g.o.a.t. 🐐 👑.word up son
I’m 40 hours in and I’d say 65% done. It boggles my mind how quickly people can finish games. I work full time, have a family, hobbies, and other responsibilities, and I still can put in 2-3 hours a day due to my scheduling — but some people must play double that a day to complete the game. I’m hoping I can finish the game before I get married on December 3rd and go on my honeymoon.
I just beat it last night. My wife and kids watched me play a ton of it. I felt like I took my time with it and it took me around 44 hours. I absolutely loved it. Easily the best game I’ve played in years. It’s extremely rare that I would give a game a 10/10 but this game is a 10 for me.
Yes, finished the story. Awesome! Now working on the platinum!
I'm 15 hours in and have no intention of rushing it. Its going to be a minimum of 4 years till the next game so dont see the value getting to the end quickly. Its great.
@themightyant Ant!! You’re here too! Killer. I just got a ps5, need friends. Add me would you? So I don’t feel like a loser with a zero friends list
Wow, that’s surprisingly high after just two weeks. I’ve put in just under 20 hours so far, but I had a quick look at the main quest list earlier today and I still have a ways to go 😱 saying that, I like searching every nook and cranny so I don’t miss anything.
@Deadhunter for me about 17 hours in it’s become God of Puzzles. I’m a little worn out on cranes and obtuse environmentally hidden puzzles that “we don’t have the gear for that yet.”
Ticked the Platinum last night. Great game, despite the story being far less fluid than the last game.
Some games you just loose a little sleep over staying up late and loving it. It's not a matter of not having time, it's simply a matter of making time if you so choose.
How do I see how many hours I put into it?
Got the plat in 5 days on give me no mercy...
Playing god of war 2018 on and off at mo ,so it'll be a while before ragnorok is played, and any games for that matter as football world cup is dominating most of my time for next 3 or so wks
Finally platinumed it today, those final fights for 100% were quite amusing as was the crucible but the rest of it was pretty boring.
@KundaliniRising333 it's on your save file.
Demographics! I demand them!
I’m curious as to the lives and lifestyles of this 25%. I’ll admit I completed TLOUII in around the same amount of time, but given the length of some games nowadays, where are people finding the time?
@ErrantRob yeah it’s annoying when you have to come back with the right equipment, and then have to remember where all those locked-off places were 🙄 have to admit that the puzzles are my least favourite part of the game. I love the exploration and combat though!
Already platinumed it and waiting for a New Game+ mode.
@Anke I think Vanaheim is the most boring as it’s too much of the same stuff, there’re 3 regions there which are very confusing and you have to do the same favor over and over again of talking to an NPC, search for an object, talk to the NPC again and repeat. I think I spent more than 10 hours on Vanaheim alone and it was just tedious.
I've only just started, I am going to take my time, been busy with finishing other games and being at work etc etc...find I enjoy games much more playing just a little bit each night...as opposed to long sessions
Finished it in 9 days at 24 hours. Not interested in the Platinum.
Just a killer game. Not much else can be said. Just a 10/10 for me like the 2018 game. Sure i dislike some of the puzzles and slowing down the pace, but thats more a me issue than game issue, not docking points for that.
I want a new game plus mode before I do a second playthrough.
@IOI ahh yes, get in the boat, look at map, wrong beach, look at map, back in boat
My save file time says 35 hours played, but I know from PS-Timetracker that I’m actually 45 hours in. Not sure why such a big disparity.
I’m currently on the last main quest but I’ve not done the Crater area or muspleheim challenges
I started it on launch day, got about 4 hours in and had a hard crash. Took a break, came back a couple days later and, had another hard crash, and haven't touched it since. Been mainlining Pokemon for the past week and I'm about halfway through, but I'll get back to it soon enough...hopefully it's a bit more stable when I circle back around.
@IOI I’ve only just got to a Vanaheim. I didn’t really enjoy Alfheim (elves realm) with all the light doors 🙄
I'm about 3/4 through the main story and the side quests. I'll probably finnish it next week.
@Deadhunter Your not alone, once I reached Alfheim I just felt no desire to carry on. I finished the story in GoW (2018) and really enjoyed my time with it but for some reason I’m just finding Ragnarok too tedious.
Only Gna and the Berserker King boss fights still do do. 100%ed the rest. Berserker will get done fairly quickly. Nearly killed him couple times. Gna's energy bar is not insubstantial ... Might take a bit longer.
@Nightcrawler71 The whole "You can't do this because you don't have the right equipment" is modeled on the Metroidvania genre of games. This is a known element of these two games. But with a traditional Metroidvania you have to remember those previously unaccessible areas, and once you have the right equipment it's necessary to double back to progress in the game. The easy thing about GOW is that the Metroidvania aspects are for the most part unnecessary. So if you don't want to want to use your brain to remember where stuff is and double back for secrets you don't have to in order to finish the game. The NPCs and map markers tell you where to go for the main questline. You can get plenty of resources to craft good enough gear to get you through the game. You're complaining about largely optional stuff. There was once a day in gaming when secrets were secrets and mysterious hard-to-reach areas were seen as a rewarding challenge.
28 hours in on Give Me No mercy mode; I think the combat really shows its flaws at this difficulty level honestly. But, still enjoying my time!
I wonder how high the completion rate for Elden Ring is.
The weapon switching makes fights harder than they should be. Using Lunda's armour to poison bosses in fights is a nightmare as you have to click the spear button twice to put your weapons away and go empty handed. Half the time it doesnt work and you have to fumble about further with the d-pad till it works ... frustrating when your fighting a bifrost boss that can kill you in 1 hit.
I'm not even close to the end yet, but I have this odd obsession, with every open or semi-open world game I play, of exploring the entire environment even the really small set pieces.
I enjoyed the game itself almost as much as the 2018 one... I didn't enjoy the story like I was hoping to at all though, Brok is still the MVP though.
It took me 2 weeks and 1 day. I had a jolly old time. Did Atreus remind anyone else of Peter Parker or was it just me? Haha
I am one of those 3.9% hehe
1 week off of work early December and I intend to complete it in that week so I can devote all my time to The Witcher 3 PS5 update.
I only binged it to avoid spoilers.
I'm in no rush to finish it. 19 hours in but i've not had as much time as i'd have liked with the world cup on and trying to watch as many matches as i can lol..
I got the Ps4 platinum the same week as release? Then the PS5 platinum automatic after loading my PS4 save on the PS5 version, Had the week booked off work☺️ It's a good game and I enjoyed every second of it.......... I just pray this isn't the end of Kratos............ Egyptian gods next????
79$ for a two weeks funride...yay...that makes monthly gaming rather expensive these days
I’m 15 hours in and popped a trophy that was classed as common! I was amazed
Wife and I "fought" over PS5 for this game (I lost, obv.) She finished it three days ago, I did last night. Now for the delicious clean up and plat. Still playing on give me no mercy, although I think hard is a bit harder in this game as compared to 2018...
@Dusk_Actual Hey dude. Sure though i'll let you know I play in 'offline' mode 95% of the time. I'm antisocial when I game. lol
What's your GamerTag?
@themightyant no worries ps5 is gonna be single player games only =}
Dusk_Actual is the gt
Taking my time
For a far more interesting stat, check the trophy for beating the last chapter of Warriors orochi 4, aka finishing the game.
A whopping 55%! I was impressed. It's by no means a short game.
Warriors fans commit.
Took me about 36 hours. Gonna Plat it eventually. But hoping they are gonna patch the backseating cause my god. Even after beating the game the NPCs are STILL telling you what to do and how to use x weapon/ability. I just can't deal with it lol.
I'm still taking my time playing the gme, notn rushing thru the story and exploring every part of the world soon as it's open to me.
Probably won't be done with this until mid December, may have to skip getting The Callisto Protocol at full price.
