Now that 2022 is over, the quest that is 2023 has begun. But one thing you’ll be hearing about in the next few weeks and into the next month is the ‘results’ that came from the year gone by. There will be plenty of lists and statements about what games and publishers did throughout 2022 to show how well they did or how certain titles stood out from the rest. A great example came yesterday via God of War Ragnarok. The beloved PS5 game was a hit from the word go, including being a major hit in multiple regions.

An insider in the industry posted on Twitter yesterday that God of War Ragnarok was the final No.1 game in the UK as the year ended. It did have a drop from the previous week, but that previous week also featured Christmas, so we can understand why that drop happened.
