Holiday season is the best season to play video games and it is extra special because not only do you have holidays but also because everyone is gifting video games to each other as well. This naturally increases the sales of video games as well, so it is interesting to see which games sold the most during this holiday season and it was none other than God of War Ragnarok. Despite releasing a few months ago, PlayStation’s exclusive God of War Ragnarok managed to sell the highest during the holiday week ending 31/12/2022.
Before this week, God of War Ragnarok was sitting at the third spot on the official GFK Entertainment Software Charts however for the holiday season, the game managed to climb back to the top spot. FIFA 23 lost its crown and dropped to second place on the charts with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II securing the third and fourth spots on the list respectively.
