"Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch's follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima that was released last week, has reportedly sold through over 1.6 million copies. The action-adventure title, currently out exclusively on PS5, is said to be Sony's "strongest" first-party PS5 launch since Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in 2023. Ghost of Yotei is also said to have recouped its reported $60 million development budget the day after launch."
"Considering the game's $70 price tag, it has already generated nearly $100 million (roughly Rs. 886 crore) in revenues. According to the firm, Ghost of Yotei made back its reported $60 million (roughly Rs. 532 crore) development budget just a day after launch. It is, however, selling slower than its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, which sold 2.4 million copies in just three days."
"Additionally, Yotei is also said to be selling 1.5x faster than Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows, which was released in March. Digital copies reportedly account for 77 percent of the game's sales so far. It also seems that a large number of buyers are returning players from Ghost of Tsushima. According to Alinea's data, 93 percent of Ghost of Yotei players have played Ghost of Tsushima."
Ghost of Yotei sold through more than 1.6 million consumer copies in its first week and crossed two million units when including retailer shipments. The PS5-exclusive action-adventure recouped its reported $60 million development budget within a day and generated nearly $100 million in revenue at a $70 price point. The game is selling slower than Ghost of Tsushima but 1.5x faster than Assassin's Creed Shadows. Digital purchases account for 77% of sales, and 93% of buyers previously played Ghost of Tsushima. Early critical praise and strong initial sales suggest continued growth potential.
