God of War Ragnarok is finally available on PC, but the player interest seems low compared to the previous game. On release day, the game peaked at just under 23,000 concurrent players on Steam, compared to the 60,000 logged by God of War 2018 on its first day.
God of War Ragnarok debuted at the 63rd position in the list of most-played games on Steam, while God of War 2018 ranked at 22nd. The 2022 sequel drew in 22,967 concurrent players in the first hour but soon dropped to around 18,000 players.
One potential reason for the lower numbers is the mandatory PlayStation Network (PSN) account requirement, which has frustrated many players. Sony’s decision to impose PSN login requirements on all of its PC games has stirred criticism, especially since Helldivers 2 recently reversed its stance on mandatory PSN login. Though what’s strange here is, some people are able to play the game without logging into PSN.
