The newest God of War<\/em> title launched on PC, and it has become an instant success. The game reached the top of Steam\u2019s top seller’s list just three days after going live on the platform. <\/p>
Santa Monica Studio\u2019s game faced some steep competition with the PC release of Capcom\u2019s Monster Hunter Rise<\/em> just two days earlier, but the single-player God of War<\/em> was able to edge out the multiplayer Monster Hunter<\/em> initially, although that might be due to Monster Hunter <\/em>splitting its bundles on separate pages. <\/p>
On launch day, God of War <\/em>saw more than 60,000 purchases<\/a>, peaking at 73,529 on Jan. 16, according to SteamDB<\/a>. These numbers put the game in the top 10 games on Steam for the majority of its launch weekend, but it has fallen off slightly as players begin to finish it or move on. <\/p>
Monster Hunter Rise <\/em>has steadily increased its player count<\/a> on Steam, peaking at 134,262 players with an average of around 95,000 since launching, putting it at the number six spot on the charts. These numbers will likely continue to hold as Monster Hunter <\/em>games have a large following and consistent updates, such as the upcoming Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak<\/em> expansion, which will launch in Summer 2022. <\/p>
