God of War is the top-rated and most-played Sony game on Steam

Four years after the God of War reboot hit PS4 to much acclaim the game finally arrived on PC via Steam this week, to just as much acclaim or more, somehow. With sequel God of War: Ragnarok out this year on PS5 and PS4, there’s obviously a lot of excitement over the series – meaning that a lot of new players are checking out the PC port, and loving it too, apparently.

While God of War’s concurrent player count on day one was slightly lower than fellow PlayStation port Horizon: Zero Dawn on its first PC day, Sony Santa Monica’s title seems to have rallied the troops since then – as the player count has only risen since then, reaching an all-time high for a Sony game on PC of 73,529 earlier now.

God of War on Steam peaked even higher today for concurrent players. Its the first PlayStation Studios game to reach 70k+

God of War – 73,529
Horizon ZD – 56,557
Days Gone – 27,450

This has sold a LOT of copies and likely pushed God of War over 20+ Million Units sold Lifetime pic.twitter.com/GtR8lH7K05
