Ghost of Yōtei Wins Strong Reviews and UK No. 1 Debut as Japan Demand Surges

Sony has not confirmed sales figures despite a widely shared 2 million claim from an unofficial post.

Overview

  • Critics widely praise Sucker Punch’s PS5‑exclusive sequel for refined combat, striking visuals and a focused revenge narrative centered on new protagonist Atsu.
  • The game opened at number one in the UK boxed chart, with physical launch sales reported about 40% lower than Ghost of Tsushima’s but framed against a smaller PS5 base and rising digital share.
  • Retailers in Hokkaido report strong sell‑through and locally licensed merchandise as regional authorities look to tie the release to tourism initiatives.
  • A consultant highlighted a PlayStation China executive’s WeChat post referencing 2 million copies sold, but the image was identified as AI and outlets stress this is not an official confirmation.
  • Sucker Punch has not announced DLC or a PC version, and the studio plans to add a free Legends co‑op mode in 2026.
