God of War is PlayStation Studios' Biggest Success on PC
God of War dominated Steam's bestseller list for the third consecutive week and became PlayStation Studios' biggest PC success.
- Excellent sales of God of War and Monster Hunter: Rise;
- Rising number of preorders for Dying Light 2;
- High popularity of Lost Ark Platinum Founder's Pack.
As every Monday, the list of the biggest (by revenue) bestsellers of the previous week on Steam was released. For the third time in a row, the leader was the PC port of God of War. Trailing right behind it was once again Monster Hunter: Rise. Changes occurred only on the last place of the podium, which was taken by the preorders of one of the editions of Dying Light 2. Another edition of this game appeared in the fifth spot.
God of War has become the most successful PlayStation Studios game on PC. It's Sony's first port to top sales charts on Steam for three weeks in a row. The game also achieved the highest activity scores (73,529 concurrent players), breaking the previous record of Horizon: Zero Dawn - Complete Edition (56,557 players). In the case of the latter, seven months after its debut on PC, the project's return on investment was 250%. God of War should achieve an even better result.
It is also worth noting the success of the Platinum Founder's Pack for the upcoming free-to-play MMORPG Lost Ark, which took position number eight. This was helped by the fact that this DLC costs almost $90.
In addition, the list includes titles that have been on it for a long time. The tactical shooter Ready or Not and the survival game Project Zomboid are still selling well. Preorders of Elden Ring and Total War: Warhammer III are also still in high demand.
In addition, after a long absence, the co-op game It Takes Two returned to the top 10, which is due to the fact that as part of the Start Steam Lunar Sale 2022 the game was discounted by 50%.
