PlayStation has shared a bunch of impressive-sounding Ghost of Tsushima statistics. The open world game's been out for a couple of weeks now, and it's fair to say that players have been busy. The key takeaways? People really like the Standoff mechanic. They also really like taking photos. Can't exactly blame them, can you?
Here's a quick list of the shared stats, presumably taking into account everyone who's played the game with their PS4 connected to the internet:
- 156.4 million Standoffs initiated
- 57.5 million Duels initiated
- 139.4 million enemies have collapsed in fear
- 810.3 years have been spent on horseback
- 16.2 million Hot Springs visited
- 14.2 million Haikus composed
- 28.1 million flute songs have been played
- 8.8 million foxes have been petted
- 17.1 million Bamboo Strikes completed
- 37.5 million Inari Shrines honoured
- 15.5 million photos taken
Pretty crazy, eh? We'd also love to know how many perfect parries have been pulled off, and how many times players have forced their beloved horse to jump off a cliff because they were too impatient to go around. Do you find stats like these interesting? Let us know how you play Ghost of Tsushima in the comments section below.

I think I’ve pet 3 foxes. Jumped my horse off one cliff because I didn’t realize it would. Pretty sure I have zero perfect parries. I try to showdown every chance I get...still on the southern part of the island and loving all of the game so far.
@Medic_Alert
There’s another one that does dragonflies. Cute little touches that make you smile. 😊
Can't believe more people haven't petted the foxes! Shame on you.
@Arugula 50% of them I would say, some do run off but alot of them hang around and wait for you to pet them before running off.
Ok so I'm not the only one who horse dives. Phew!
Earned the platinum trophy last night. Some of the foxes disappeared straight after, so i never got chance to pet them... I felt used.
I love the fox, I love every kind of fox,
I just wanna pet all of them, but I can't...
Because it doesn't always give me the option.
@StevieJ_UK1 OMG. I'm well into act 2 and have seen multiple of those signs, but had no idea you could bow by swiping down!
I petted a fox once. She slapped me and phoned the bizzies.
I don't personally care, but I think it should be stated that all this information is getting collected while you play the game and sent to the company - you know, for all those personal security nuts out there (though. they probably still use dial-up to access the internet so that they can officially "unplug").
That's me, always stand off whenever I have the chance lol. Now I usually observed the leader first and then stand off and defeat him so I get 2 stance points instead of 1.
Also I heard if jin use stealth kill a lot (dishonorable) the weathers will be stormy and if jin kills using the blade (honorable) the weather will be clear and sunny.
I'm just doing a lot of stealth kill because I want to observe the leader and I can confirm there's storm in my game world 😅
I’m pretty surprised photos taken is ONLY 15.5 million.
15.5 millions photos taken? Is that high or low?
Finished the game and all i want to do is play it all over again. My GOTY for sure. Hell, of the generation even
@Jester1701one Given the game has reportedly sold over 4 million, not all that high.
@thefirst haha yeah, had that once.
@Jester1701one High
I account for 15 million of the photos taken 😂
I wanna see the stats of how many times everyone accidentally pressed triangle to get on the horse and ended up attacking it... I did it about 3 times lol
Fantastic game, my main critique would be that there is no way to replay missions other than restart the game all over again and no new game plus, feels like a one and done game as it is at the moment which is a shame.
That is really go smacking! Gobble gobble!
"and how many times players have forced their beloved horse to jump off a cliff because they were too impatient to go around."
That is eerily accurate.
@ApostateMage Really have to watch the type of fox you are petting. The red furry ones are usually safe from getting slapped, but sometimes they bite.
Now they need to release the number rage induced fits that resulted in a busted controller because the camera is such a pos.
These stats are nice but when you have millions doing something, everything becomes like this. Like, if today alone everyone on Earth farted once, and if a fart lasts one second, then today alone we've spent 244 years farting.
@thefirst Ok, firstly OBVIOUS joke.
Secondly ***** you? You ain't my boss or anything remotely like it.
@lacerz Well I know one spot that spawns in a bunch of lightbugs but that's pretty heavy in spoilers.
I petted all the Foxes that hung around waiting for it, that little hoppy jumping animation they did was too cute to not pet them. Happy to say I added practically zero time to the horse stat, apart from the very few occasions where the game made you ride a horse I covered every inch of that map on foot. Every. Inch!
Only 17.1 million bamboo strikes is quite disappointing!
@GamingFan4Lyf If they're literally just counting and not tying it to an ID, there'd be no need.
@SuperSilverback Game of the year, yea sure! Game of the generation, definitely not, there are better RPGs than Ghost of Tsushima.
@themightyant
Why surprised? I never bought the game to take photos in fairness.
@Kunfoostu Ha! You’re probably right. Photography is one of my hobbies too so I thought maybe others were more interested in this too.
My thinking was “approximately only 4 or 5 photos per user for one of the most artistically beautiful games ever made seems pretty low.”
My screenshots folder is rammed. Haha!
I agree it’s a beautiful game artistically. Only game I’ve ever taken photos in though is Fallout 76 and that’s only because there’s challenges involved = reward. Plus the photos you take in game act a part of the load screens so they do give me a chuckle from time to time. I’m more surprised photomode seems to becoming standard in games now. It’s not a feature I ever dreamed anybody demanded to see in games. Its cool that it does seem to bring enjoyment to people.
@Nikpala All about personal taste my man! There are better RPGs/Openworld games out this year, but the setting, world, characters have so much charm and i love Feudal Japan era so!
You guys are so amazing, keep it up!! And don't forget to do all the side missions too, you'll become godly, its nuts.
@Medic_Alert GOT for GOTY
@Medic_Alert Congratz! You managed to find a hidden shrine. There are 10 of these shrines located around the map. Find and bow to all 10 to be able to snag yourself a nice little trophy. Whether you search for them yourself or go on the internet is your choice, but good luck on your travels around the Island.
I just absolutely love Ghost of Tsushima what a beautiful game it is, I just cannot stop to stand on a cliff side and just take in that amazing view. I have finished the story and wow what a journey it was, I showed that Khoton Khan who was boss and not to mess. I’ve got all outfits and katana blades, still got to find couple of more things yet. I love petting the foxes then watch them do there lil hop in the air. An absolute blast of a game.
I am nearing completion of the game now and have very much enjoyed it, but I haven't been able use any iron, steel or gold since half way through Act 2. I would like to see an upgrade like weapon honing following the weapons being enhanced to maximum, perhaps a further 10% bonus damage that would last for a game week.
@GamingFan4Lyf you mean the information about your statistics? It's not private information or anything and I'm sure it's in the settings that you can turn statistics sharing off at anytime. EA uses that in alot of their games and you always have to press agree or disable the settings but no one is watching you or listening to you, that's all ***** to make people not trust their governments. It's ***** like the Chinese government does that's really ***** up! No freedom of speech or anything over there! Over here the only way the military will watch you or listen to you is if they know your threatening national security and they have programs that check the web for key words that pop up multiple times on certain IP addresses and then will start looking and that's how they find threats sometimes kind of like the shoe bomber. They don't have the people to sit and watch EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE U.S. or listen to them for that matter besides it would be a boring ass job listening and watching people do all they crazy ***** they do. All you have to do is not type words about certain bad things and keep doing it because they WILL start keeping a close eye on you and you will think your in the clear but it takes months for them to gather enough Intel to make a move.
