Ghost of Tsushima Surpasses 3.3 Million Units Sold in First Month

Ghost of Tsushima Shatters Sales Records in First Month, Outperforming Predecessor and Becoming Top European Launch Since Spider-Man 2

Ghost of Tsushima achieved significant sales success, with over 3.3 million copies sold in its first month, according to Sony's latest financial report. This performance outpaces that of its predecessor, which sold 2.4 million copies in three days and reached 5 million within four months. The game benefitted from releasing later in the PlayStation 4's lifecycle, when a larger installed base of consoles was available. By September 30, 2025, PlayStation 5 sales had reached 84.2 million units, approaching the 86 million units the PlayStation 4 had sold by a comparable point in its own lifecycle. The strong sales of Ghost of Tsushima highlight the popularity of Sony's exclusive titles. It was the biggest first-party title launch in Europe since Spider-Man 2, based on data from the GSD European Chart. The game also garnered critical acclaim, earning a Metacritic score of 88. Reviewers specifically praised its visuals, narrative, and enhanced combat system, solidifying its position as a successful and well-received title.
