Ghost of Yotei Sells 3.3 Million Copies

Sony reported its earnings for second-quarter FY 2025 on Tuesday, confirming that Ghost of Yotei had sold 3.3 million copies in 32 days. For comparison, the game's predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, sold 2.4 million copies in just three days of launch. Cumulative sales for Ghost of Tsushima across PlayStation and PC stand at 13 million units, so Ghost of Yotei still has a long way to go to match its predecessor's sales. During the earnings call, Sony called the game a “major hit” like its predecessor.

Sony also announced that it sold 3.9 million units of the PS5 in the second quarter of FY 2025, taking the total sales of the console past 84.2 million units. Monthly active users on PlayStation Network amounted to 119 million in the quarter. PSN services and software sales helped Sony's gaming business record a four percent year-on-year growth in Q2 FY 2025.

The company announced that live service games accounted for more than 40 percent of its first-party software revenue. That's largely due to Helldivers 2, which was released on Xbox Series S/X on August 26, 2025.

The game's launch on Xbox has gone “extremely well” for Sony. The company said that the game was “not only attracting new users on Xbox, but also seeing increased engagement from existing users on PS5 and PC.” The Xbox launch led to a “significant” increase in year-on-year sales for Helldivers 2, the company said.

Ghost of Yotei was released on October 2 and is currently available on PS5. A week after the game's launch, markets research firm Alinea Analytics claimed it had sold 1.6 million copies and recouped its reported $60 million development budget only a day after launch. According to the firm, Ghost of Yotei was Sony's “strongest” first-party PS5 launch since Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in 2023.
