Ghost of Tsushima sales numbers are great ahead of its sequel

Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Tsushima has reached the milestone four years after its release on PS4. It has since received a Director’s Cut edition on PS5 (which comes with the DLC expansion), and a recently launched PC version in May that received a Very Positive score on Steam. It also released a multiplayer mode, possibly enticing more players to get into this adventure title.

Back on July 15, 2022, Sucker Punch reported on X that 9.73 million copies were sold. This means that the PC launch, plus additional sales on PS4 and PS5 has resulted in more than three million copies shipped since.

Likely in response to the critical and commercial success of the first game, PlayStation revealed the game’s sequel, Ghost of Yotei. It features a new female protagonist played by Erika Ishii (Apex Legends, Destiny 2), who explores the region of Ezo (now known as Hokkaido) and the stunning areas surrounding Mount Yotei. “Atsu sets out on a journey in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei, an area filled with sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers,” said the PlayStation Blog.

ā€œBeing in this incredibly beautiful park with jagged cliffs and water, yet all the time being aware there were dangerous bears, was electrifying,” said creative director Nate Fox to The New York Times.

The game’s trailer already has over five million views on YouTube. PS5 players can check out Ghost of Yotei when it launches sometime in 2025.
