According to a recent post shared by insider Genki citing Sony CFO Lin Tao, Ghost of Yotei exceeded the sales of its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, over the same period. Described as a “tentpole” title for Sony, the game made a significant contribution to the company’s quarterly financial results. “Ghost of Yotei, a tentpole title we released in October, exceeded the sales of the previous title in the same period of time and significantly contributed to the financial results of the quarter,” Tao said. Ghost of Yotei launched on October 2 and is available now on PlayStation 5.
The game’s details:
Become a different kind of ghost and witness a bold new story set against the stunning backdrop of northern Japan’s rugged landscapes.
