The Ghost of Yōtei sales show commercial strength roughly one year after the launch of the PlayStation 5 exclusive from Sucker Punch Productions, according to independent estimates from Alinea Analytics.
What the Ghost of Yōtei sales estimates show
Market analysis firm Alinea Analytics, through its head of market analysis Rhys Elliott, estimates that the Ghost of Yōtei sales reached about 5.4 million copies and generated $407 million in revenue from copies sold alone. Of these, 36.8% were physical sales.
In the third quarter of 2026, the title would have sold another 500,000 copies, generating about $30 million. In 2026, cumulative sales would be approximately 1.8 million copies, totaling $121 million. These Ghost of Yōtei sales figures reinforce the game's commercial success status.
Comparison with Ghost of Tsushima
Aligning post-launch periods, Ghost of Tsushima would have sold nearly 7 million copies and generated $418 million. The revenue difference is only about 3% in favor of the predecessor, despite a larger unit gap. This is partly due to Yōtei's $70 launch price (versus $60 for Tsushima) and fewer discounts: Yōtei had only two two-week promotions at $50.
Impact of the Complete Edition and expansion on Ghost of Yōtei sales
On October 1, PlayStation launched the Complete Edition (with the base game and new content) and the Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion, plus the Most Wanted mode. Existing players can upgrade for $14.99. Nearly 50,000 people bought the digital Complete Edition since launch, generating over $2 million.
Average daily active users (DAU) rose from about 150,000 in the prior two months to a peak of 327,000 with the new content, boosting engagement and potentially ongoing Ghost of Yōtei sales.
What this means for Ghost of Yōtei sales
These figures are third-party estimates, not official confirmations from Sony or Sucker Punch. Alinea Analytics is known for tracking the games market, but the data should be interpreted with that caveat. The performance suggests the game remains relevant even with few promotions and a competitive calendar. The Ghost of Yōtei sales demonstrate resilience in the PS5 exclusives market.
