Ghost of Yotei has evoked strong emotions from the very announcement — both from fans and critics. There have been many disputes surrounding the plot and the developers' statements. Now, information has emerged that Sucker Punch has surpassed itself.
According to the latest data, Ghost of Yotei sold over a million copies in the first 24 hours, surpassing the launch of Ghost of Tsushima. Informant Millieamand reported that sales amounted to about 1.3 million copies against 1.25 million for the previous game. The result is impressive, especially considering the doubts that were voiced before the release. It seems the studio can celebrate another success.
The developers can also be pleased with the technical side. Ghost of Yotei is praised for its excellent optimization and graphics on the base PS5 — visually almost indistinguishable from the version for PS5 Pro. The project, which recently caused controversy, has now become one of the best-selling and highly rated releases of the year. If the dynamics continue, the game will not only repeat the success of Tsushima, but also become a new benchmark for Sony exclusives.
