Blimey, Ghost of Tsushima has done rather well for itself, hasn't it? The new IP from InFAMOUS developer Sucker Punch Productions has now sold more than five million copies worldwide since its PlayStation 4 launch back in July. This puts it on track to compete with Horizon Zero Dawn, which topped 7.6 million sales in its first year on the market.
The news comes by way of a new interview with Sony bosses, conducted by The New York Times. Whilst discussing the success of the PS4 generation, it is stated that five million copies have been sold since launch. Writer Seth Schiesel then follows up on Twitter to clarify that the statistic comes straight from Sony itself. This provides context to the "commercial delight" that Ghost of Tsushima has been described as by Sony, since before today, all we knew was that the title had sold 2.4 million copies in its first three days on the market. Those sales figures have now more than doubled in the proceeding months.

Well deserved!
Great news for fans of single player games - a good story and polished game can still sell well!
Good to hear it. SP deserve every bit of praise for their work on this one. Should get GOTY but i bet it wont.
Fully deserved. Ghost is bloody brilliant.
It's a fabulous game, very more-ish.
Visually stunning, immersive story, great characters. Game of the year in my opinion.
Now do Sly Cooper again, Sucker Punch! I can wait for a Ghost sequel.
👻 ghost of tshushima game of the year 2020.word up son
Completely deserved. I've held off playing it so I can play it on PS5 instead.
Have managed to hold out on this one until I can play it on the PS5. Any guesses to if/when it would come to the PS+ collection?
@Snake_V5 and @Abwag
You lucky devils. You will be playing it for the 1st time in the best possible way. I hope you both enjoy.
@Abwag With sales numbers like this, its very unlikely for the foreseeable i'd have thought. Most of the games in the ps plus collection came out 2 or 3 years ago
I had fun with this, its a bit unbalanced and was far too easy towards the end but a great starting point for future entries and I'll be giving it a go on PS5, on a harder difficulty
Hi there fellow gamers. Fully deserved in many ways.
Not only it is an amazing singlepayer experience, with really great moments and missions, as well written as the characters, with awesome gameplay mechanics, but also has a surprisingly good multiplayer that was added for free.
And then there is the visuals and the soundtrack........
There is no words for such beauty.
Job very well done Sucker Punch.
Now can we have a sequel in the mainland, pretty please?
Cheers, stay safe out there and happy gaming to us all
That's nice, it's one of the top ps4 exclusive for me
Brilliant game, looking forward to next entry!
And I still haven't bought my copy. Sweet.
Fantastic game. Combat feels amazing. Not historically accurate but still fantastic haha. Can't wait to start NG+ on the PS5.
Another sale for me eventually. Just waiting for PS5 and price drop then I'm in
They obviously have but I'm just wondering at what sales number did the game break even and then start making a profit?
@Kidfunkadelic83 Good luck to you too, all the best 👍
Ghost is probably going to be my GotY for 2020. Went in with zero expectations and came away loving it.
@Abwag to be honest, there's no need to wait.
Loading times are already the fastest I've seen for such games (around 15-20 seconds) and the game already looks gorgeous. Also, no frame drops, as far as I remember.
You can pick it up if you want it with no hesitation.
Been saving this play-through for PS5...Can't wait to jump in, but man what a line-up.
Saving it for the PS5 too. @get2sammyb/ anyone that's played PS5 Version: Are load times/ fast travel at Miles Morales levels on PS5?
I held off playing on the PS4 Pro. Was waiting for the ps5 to come. Cannot wait.
Great Job Sucker Punch. Can't wait to see Ghost 2 and hopefully a new Infamous, probably with a female protagonist/antagonist.
Been holding out to play this on PS5 looking forward to it immensely... In fact I might order it right now for launch.
Great news - it is a fantastic game.
I enjoyed the characters, and the story of this game it sucks that it got review bomb.
One of the best of the generation
I was planning to buy this when it came out but wound up buying persona 5 royal instead because I wasn't entirely sure what type of game it was. Now I guess I'll just wait until it goes on sale again.
Great numbers, even more impressive for a new IP. Well deserved.
@Blacksmith1985 late to reply, but I bought it and had absolutely 0 regrets - what a game!
@Abwag nice)
