Ghost of Yotei achieves major success!

From the quiet slopes of Mount Yotei comes a game that has reignited the PlayStation stage. Ghost of Yotei has not only captivated players but also delivered the “big win” Sony had been waiting for.

In its first week, the game became Sony’s biggest PS5 launch in Europe since Spider-Man 2, marking a remarkable comeback for the brand. Its success spans both physical and digital sales, reminiscent of the Ghost of Tsushima era and its impact can be felt not just through its Japanese-inspired atmosphere but also in PlayStation’s broader revival.

Competing with major titles like EA Sports FC 26, Ghost of Yotei still managed to emerge as Sony’s strongest 2025 launch, outperforming other PS5 exclusives such as Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, and Helldivers 2.

For Sony, this is more than just a commercial triumph. It’s a powerful reminder that single-player, story-driven games still hold a massive audience.

Critics have praised the game’s visuals, cinematic storytelling, and melancholic atmosphere set against the foothills of Mount Yotei. While it evokes the spirit of Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei carves out an identity that feels sharper and more distinct.

Could Ghost of Yotei truly become Sony’s next legendary franchise, or is this just the spark of a strong beginning? Share your thoughts in the comments.
