Following its relatively recent release, the game is already exerting a significant impact on the Chinese language gaming industry. Gamers in China are reportedly going to great lengths to obtain a PS5, solely to play exclusive title Horizon Forbidden West. As a result, PS5 inventory sold out nationwide.
Camilo observes that the release of God of War has unexpectedly piqued the interest of non-gamers, prompting them to strive for a PlayStation 5.
As publicity surrounding gaming in China reaches a fever pitch, a ‘contagious wave’ of non-traditional gamers is swept up in enthusiasm, leading to unexpected console purchases.
According to Camilo, the PlayStation 5 is witnessing extremely high sales globally, with Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen’s largest digital marketplace reporting impressive figures.
The game has experienced unprecedented success on PC, with a staggering number of concurrent players and a cumulative sales total of 10 million units across all platforms during its initial release period. Currently available on both PC and PS5. Please review our individual assessments for each platform.
Significant surge in PlayStation 5 sales in China follows the release of the highly anticipated game, Black Fantasy Wukong.
As a result of widespread media coverage in China, a novel phenomenon has emerged: non-gamers are suddenly caught up in the hype surrounding this popular pastime.
