Ghost of Yotei
PlayStation-exclusive “Ghost of Yotei” debuted at No.2 in the GSD European sales charts, sales numbers for the title reportedly opening in-line with its 2020 predecessor “Ghost of Tsushima”. ‘Tsushima’ launched during the COVID-19 lockdown year, which drove record numbers for video game sales.
The new title’s launch marks the biggest first-party PlayStation launch on the GSD charts since “Spider-Man 2” in October 2023. The production team has also indicated the budget for the game has come in roughly around the same as ‘Tsushima’ – a decidedly cost-effective $60 million. [Source: The Game Business]
