On the day of release, 23 thousand people played God of War Ragnarok on PC at the same time, which is 50 thousand less than the previous part

We wrote that on 19 September, God of War Ragnarok was finally released on PC. How many people went to the final Scandinavian battle on the release day?

Here's What We Know

According to SteamDB, the peak online Ragnarok on the release day was 23 thousand people. For comparison, God of War 2018 had 70+ thousand people playing on its release day .

One of the reasons for this difference is that Sony requires a PSN account to be linked to a PC even for story-based games, and in more than 100 countries, PSN is simply not available.

Although Ghost of Tsushima had 77 thousand online players on PC release, and the Horizon sequel had 40 thousand, so players may simply be less interested in Ragnarok, but online may still grow over the weekend.

We'd like toremind you that God of War Ragnarok finally has the ability to reduce the number of partner prompts and enable audio description for visually impaired players.
