God of War Ragnarok tops a new ranking of PlayStation titles with $1.4 billion in revenue.
Market research firm Alinea Analytics published estimates for the ten highest-grossing PlayStation Studios games of the PS5 era. The combined total reached more than $6.5 billion, according to Shane the Gamer. Senior analyst Rhys Elliott shared the figures on X.
The data covers lifetime sales across platforms rather than just console figures. Together, the ten games covered in the report have generated over $6.5 billion across PlayStation, accounting for 84.7 percent of the total.
Steam represents 14.1 percent. Xbox accounts for 1.2 percent via Helldivers 2 alone.
Also, God of War Ragnarok is actually the #1 for PlayStation first-party this generation, generating $1.4B (@alineaanalytics estimates).

Topping the list is Santa Monica Studio’s 2022 release God of War Ragnarok. It has sold 21.6 million copies across PlayStation and Steam, according to GamesRadar+.
Of those total sales, 20.1 million copies were bought on PlayStation consoles. A total of 75.2 percent of those console sales occurred on the PS5 specifically. Physical editions made up 27.5 percent of the PlayStation copies sold.
Close behind is Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 at $1.3 billion from 19.1 million copies. Gran Turismo 7 followed at $841.9 million.
The ranking accounts for sales across platforms. Alinea divided the $6.5 billion total as 84.7 percent from PlayStation, 14.1 percent from Steam, and 1.2 percent from Xbox, which comes entirely from Helldivers 2.
