- Ghost of Yotei has already managed to sell over 1.3 million copies on its first day.
- It has sold faster than Ghost of Tsushima, which sold around 1.25 million at launch.
- The latest title has also received universal praise from both the players and critics.
Despite all the controversy surrounding the game, Ghost of Yotei has come out on top and has managed to garner a mostly positive reception from both the players and the critics. It is reportedly even doing well in the sales department.
According to some new information, Ghost of Yotei has already sold over 1 million copies on its first day. It is selling at a faster pace than its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, which will be a welcome sign for Sucker Punch.
Why it matters: Before the release, Yotei’s success looked questionable based on the people’s reactions and the political comments the studio made; however, it is thriving based on the sales figures.
According to insider Millieamand, Ghost of Yotei on its first day sold 1.3 million copies, while Ghost of Tsushima sold 1.25 million, which puts it ahead of its predecessor. It will be seen whether it can keep it up in the long run.
As of 2024, Ghost of Tsushima had sold over 13 million copies, which is a decent number for an exclusive title, but in that time frame, it also released on PC. The general response towards Yotei is more positive, hinting at good things to come.
Sucker Punch’s latest title was already topping pre-orders on the PS5, so the success was imminent. The profit margin on the title will also be massive, considering its budget was similar to Tsushima, unlike most PlayStation sequels.
Nonetheless, the studio has another hit on its hands. One of the best parts about Ghost of Yotei is how well it is optimized for the base PS5, as it looks and runs almost identically to the more powerful PS5 Pro.
