Stats Show Interest In Ghost of Yotei Is Still High Despite Criticism

Expert Verified By

PlayStation Fans Are Hyped For Ghost of Yotei!

Story Highlight
  • Ghost of Yotei presentation has more views than the Xbox showcase and recent SOP.
  • This suggests that interest in the game remains high, despite the criticism surrounding it.
  • The title launches on October 2 and will be exclusively available on the PS5.

Ghost of Yotei is the successor to PlayStation’s critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima by Sucker Punch. While it doesn’t act as a direct sequel to the first, it still borrows many elements, and fans seem to be excited about it.

Even the views on the recent Ghost of Yotei State of Play showcase that interest in the title remains relatively high, despite criticism that the game appears to be a clone of Ghost of Tsushima, albeit with a different protagonist.

Why it matters: Sucker Punch blew it out of the park with the first entry. It was critically received both on PlayStation and PC, so fans are expecting a similar quality from the latest title as well.

Ghost of Yotei Views
Ghost of Yotei State of Play had more views than other recent showcases.

On YouTube, the special State of Play presentation for Ghost of Yotei attracted a massive 3.2 million people. For context, the latest Xbox showcase and June’s State of Play had 2 million and 3 million views, respectively.

Both of the showcases had multiple exciting announcements, but Ghost of Yotei had higher viewership. The game was previously criticized for its similarity to Ghost of Yotei in terms of graphics.

Other showcases had less interest than Ghost of Yotei.

Moreover, people aren’t happy with the protagonist, Atsu, either. However, the studio says she is the perfect match for the current story. Interestingly, even the sales for the $80 deluxe edition of the game are higher than those for the standard edition.

So, it seems that PlayStation has yet another hit on its hands. Ghost of Yotei launches on October 2 on PlayStation. Although it’s not launching on PC for now, we can expect it to be released at a later time, similar to its predecessor.
