Ghost of Yotei PS5

Across hardware and physical software sales, Nintendo dominates Japan — so much so that Ghost of Yotei was one of just three games not released for Switch 1 or Switch 2 to make the country's top 30 best-selling games chart last week.

Accounting for physical copies alone (digital sales aren't counted), Famitsu reports that the Sony PS5 title has now sold just shy of 185,000 units in Japan. The bulk of these came at launch, when 120,000 unit sales made it the nation's best-selling game for its release week.

Here's how its Japanese sales have looked since then:

29th Sep — 5th Oct
120,196 sales
6th Oct — 12th Oct
26,776 sales
13th Oct — 19th Oct
18,930 sales
20th Oct — 26th Oct
6,984 sales
27th Oct — 2nd Nov
4,187 sales
3rd Nov — 9th Nov
3,203 sales
10th Nov — 16th Nov
2,368 sales
17th Nov — 23rd Nov
1,891 sales

Last week's sales data had it charting in the 26th position out of a top 30. Famitsu sales data only reveals Japan's top 30 best-selling games, so it's possible we may not get weekly updates for Ghost of Yotei anymore in a few weeks, as it slips out of the top 30.

Accounting for worldwide sales, Sony issued an update a few weeks ago to confirm the PS5 effort is selling similarly to Ghost of Tsushima, and 3.3 million units had been sold as of 2nd November. More recent data has it pinned as the 10th best-selling game of 2025 so far in the USA.

In our Ghost of Yotei PS5 review, we awarded the Sucker Punch game a 9/10 and called it the developer's best title to date. "Player freedom drives its open world, letting you craft the type of game you want to play. With improved combat, a better story, and outstanding use of PS5 features, Sucker Punch has outdone itself and created a follow-up for the ages."
