Ghost of Yōtei sales appear to be trailing Ghost of Tsushima, but the game is still pulling big numbers on PlayStation 5. That’s according to Rhys Elliott, head of marketing analysis at Alinea Analytics, who shared data related to Sucker Punch Productions’ 2025 sequel on X/Twitter. The figures have not been confirmed by Sony.
Alinea’s analysis puts Ghost of Yōtei sales at about 5.4 million units and $407 million in revenue so far, well into its first year but short of what its predecessor reached. Highlights from the update put the physical slice at a notable 36.8%, while PlayStation Store discounts remain largely few and far between.
A Complete Edition Boost
Around 500,000 copies were sold in Q3 2026 alone. Alinea also reported that 50,000 players picked up the digital Complete Edition – which comes with new content, including the recently released Echoes of Sekigahara expansion – in the two weeks since PlayStation launched it as a replacement for the digital base game. With the analysis estimating around 6% of its existing base returned to play the new content, Ghost of Yōtei seems to be going strong.
How It Compares to Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushima launched in July 2020 amid pandemic lockdowns and had generated about $418 million by the same point in its lifespan, Elliott added in a follow-up post. Factoring in Yōtei’s base price of $70 versus Tsushima’s $60, as well as any discounts that followed, the latter is estimated to have sold almost 7 million copies by this point.
“While that’s quite the gap in terms of copies, it’s worth noting that by this point in Tsushima’s lifecycle, there were about 117M PS4s and 10M PS5s in the wild, versus the nearly 100M PS5s currently out there right now (Yōtei’s only platform),” Elliott explained. “That said, Yōtei’s revenue is beginning to flatten more than Tsushima’s did, but perhaps the GTA-driven influx of new PS5s will soften that.”
In other words, although Ghost of Tsushima moved more copies by this point after its launch, Ghost of Yōtei is holding its own – with revenue nearly neck and neck. Early estimates after the sequel’s launch also had it falling in line with the original game, with Sony going on to confirm in February that the follow-up “exceeded” Tsushima’s sales and “significantly contributed” to its financial results for that quarter. As Elliott clarified, “anyone who says that Ghost of Yōtei is a flop is flat-out wrong.”
A Strong PS5 Exclusive
Ghost of Yōtei launched in October 2025 and is exclusive to PS5. IGN gave it an 8/10 review, saying, “A predictable but well-executed story takes you through Ghost of Yotei’s gorgeous landscapes and satisfying, fluid action – it may not be revolutionizing open world games, but it’s a great distillation of the samurai fantasy.” It recently added a new armor set based on PlayStation’s The Last of Us.
