Ghost of Yōtei Launches in Europe with Strong Sales Rivaling Ghost of Tsushima

During its debut week, Ghost of Yōtei performed at a level comparable to that of its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima. This was reported by The Game Business, referencing data from the analytics firm GSD.

It’s essential to remember that «Tsushima» launched in 2020 amid the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, the game achieved impressive sales figures as overall spending on interactive entertainment surged.

Additionally, the publication highlighted that the launch of Ghost of Yōtei marked the strongest debut for any game developed by PlayStation’s internal teams since the release of Spider-Man 2 in October 2023. This period also saw the release of titles like Astro Bot and The Last of Us Part II: Remastered.

The game from Sucker Punch narrowly missed claiming the top spot in the charts, with EA Sports FC 26 ultimately taking the lead in both revenue and sales numbers. The football simulator has now held the top position for three consecutive weeks, though it may soon start to decline as its sales dropped by 62% compared to the previous week.

The statistics for the first week of October included some older titles like Far Cry Primal and DOOM Eternal, a phenomenon attributed to the recent autumn sale on Steam. As a result, titles such as Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and Silent Hill f fell out of the top ten in terms of units sold.

This overview, along with the list below, covers the period from September 29 to October 5. The counting included games sold both physically and in digital format.
