It's become part of the PS Studios launch cycle: a first-party Sony game releases, and other developers celebrate by sharing some lovely art on social media. With God of War Ragnarok out on PS5 and PS4 today, other teams are posting some wonderful images of Kratos and Atreus, in some cases alongside other recognisable PlayStation characters.
Naughty Dog, Media Molecule, Insomniac Games, Bend Studio, and more have offered their congratulations and shared their art with Santa Monica Studio:
A more understated contribution comes from a third-party team, IO Interactive:
We've no doubt more of these will trickle into social feeds as the day goes on — we'll add any we see into this story.
Are you a fan of this practice among Sony's teams? Which artwork is your favourite? Tell us in the comments section below — and if you're getting started with the game today, take a look at our huge God of War Ragnarok guide.

Love that IOI got involved in this too. I know this has very low chance of happening but I would love for them to join Playstation Studios.
Ah yes. My favorite genre: Sony devs sharing amazing artwork when a studio drops a game
This is just pure goodness, nothing bad to say about this.
I also always love the little ingame nods to other studios in the form of easter eggs and such.
I love wholesome celebrations like these when a new game from a beloved IP launch.

Love to see each art when a game launches.
Love these. I think Bend Studio wins this one for me.
@torne would be fantastic, I don't think it's possible unfortunately
Yo that Bend artwork is awesome.
Hah, the Hitman one made me laugh xD
I always love it when studios do crossovers like these.
They all look great! Bend stands out as the highlight though
We need more form Guerilla and CDprojectRed
Also on the topic of first party studio collaboration, has anyone started finding the poems in Ragnarok? I'm only in the starting area so far but they all reference other first party IPs!
In the feels. Love the togetherness of all this. PS Studios Assemble!
@SamwiseTargee I did not realise that! Only got two but they seemed VERY random so that could make sense. I figured they would makes sense once I had more. Will have to go and read again. If so that's a lovely nod and Easter egg.
The Sony Bend artwork in particular is awesome.
Naughty Dog, PixelOpus, and IO Interactive's tweets are my fave art out of the bunch.
