- Ghost of Yotei has managed to top sales charts despite the boycott calls.
- The title is now the top-selling game in multiple regions across Europe and Asia.
- It also received decent reviews and is continuing to sell well.
Before its launch, Ghost of Yotei was poised to fail due to the various controversies surrounding it. However, it has managed to sell well over 1 million copies and has sold faster than Ghost of Tsushima, already making it a hit.
One of the biggest controversies was the political issue that Sucker Punch found itself in, and many people called for a complete boycott of the game. Despite that, Ghost of Yotei managed to top sales charts in multiple regions.
Why it matters: Due to the mass boycott calls, many expected the title to fail, but it managed to overcome all the issues and emerged on top, not only with good reviews but also brilliant sales figures.
Just like Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei topped the sales charts in Japan (via Famitsu). It also impressed the audience as it depicts the culture quite well. Previously, Assassin’s Creed Shadows faced a lot of criticism for wrong depiction.
It was also the top-seller in the UK (via Chris Dring) in physical sales. This is a bigger feat than Japanese sales because it launched alongside EA FC 26, but still managed to beat its sales at launch. And, it is still continuing to sell well.
Ghost of Yotei has also been a hit in European regions, being the top seller in France (via VGChartz) as well. Moreover, it also topped pre-orders in Australia, Canada, Germany, the US, and more, indicating massive success.
Overall, Ghost of Yotei has also impressed the critics and the audience. The only criticism is the linear story; otherwise, it is an upgrade over its predecessor, and the sales are looking quite strong as well.
