Ghost of Yōtei sales numbers: How much money has it made?

Looking to follow up on the tremendous success of Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei's sales numbers are already off to a lightning start.

Following on from its release in October, Ghost of Yōtei has already hit some big sales milestones, made all the more impressive by the fact that it's a PlayStation exclusive.

So, how many copies has Ghost of Yōtei actually sold? You can read on for the full details.

Ghost of Yōtei sales numbers: How many copies has it sold?

Officially, we know that Ghost of Yōtei has surpassed 1 million copies sold since its release in early October, thanks to a confirmation from Sucker Punch Productions itself.

We say 'officially', because there is some interesting and unverified news going around on social media.

PlayStation China's director of sales operations recently made a post on China's WeChat Moments social media congratulating the Sucker Punch team on 2 million copies sold.

While it's certainly not unlikely that the game may have sold 2 million copies by this point, the post is strange for various reasons, including a third-party, AI-generated image and a blacked-out source.

What we do know is that according to GSD European Chart data, reported by The Game Business, Yōtei is officially the biggest first-party PlayStation release in Europe since Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which sold 2.5 million copies in the 24 hours after its release in 2023.

Undoubtedly, further updates on Yōtei's sales figures are going to come around soon anyway, but discounting this potential misinformation, the official sales of Ghost of Yōtei stand at 1 million plus.

How much money has Ghost of Yōtei made?

As detailed before, it's impossible to know exactly how much money Yōtei has made so far, as we don't have exact sales figures. We can, however, make a rough estimate.

Ghost of Yōtei costs £69.99 in the UK. Simply multiplying that by 1 million, and we get the nice and easy number of just under £70 million (around $94 million)

Would that it were so simple! Yōtei retails at slightly lower prices at certain retailers, and prices vary in different countries – The $69.99 US retail price translates to roughly £52 here.

That's before we even get into the most expensive Digital Deluxe Edition and Collector's Edition.

So, again, it's impossible to know, but we think that it's probably safe to say that at the time of writing, Ghost of Yōtei has made somewhere in the region of £60-70 million / $80-90 million.
