Ghost of Yotei Debuts No. 2 in Europe, PlayStation’s Biggest First‑Party Launch Since Spider‑Man 2

GSD data indicates sales roughly match Ghost of Tsushima despite a smaller PS5 install base and higher prices.

Overview

  • Ghost of Yotei ranked No. 2 for both units and revenue on the GSD European charts for the week ending October 5, trailing only EA Sports FC 26.
  • The sequel’s opening performance is reported as broadly in line with 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima, which benefited from a larger PS4 audience and pandemic‑boosted spending.
  • GSD covers combined digital and physical sales across numerous countries, though some publishers’ digital data such as Nintendo’s are excluded, affecting direct comparisons.
  • Steam Autumn Sale discounts dramatically lifted older titles in the unit chart, shaping the week’s rankings without displacing Ghost of Yotei from the No. 2 spot.
  • Studio head Brian Fleming said Sucker Punch can only focus on one major project at a time, framing decisions about a possible third Ghost entry or a return to Sly Cooper.
