Ghost of Yotei didn't manage to beat out EA Sports FC in its debut week, but it marks PlayStation's best launch in Europe since 2023's Spider-Man 2.

Ghost of Tsushima may have been overshadowed critically by the release of The Last of Us 2 the previous month, but it turned out to be a massive success, selling around 13 million copies as of September 2024 (compared to The Last of Us 2's 10 million copies sold as of 2022). So it's no surprise that its follow-up, Ghost of Yotei, has kept some of that momentum and has done pretty well itself.

Ghost of Yotei studio Sucker Punch "can only do one thing at a time," admits co-founder – and that's why the "really important" decision of its next game is so hard: "It kind of has to be your best idea, right?"
