Ghost Of Yotei Sold Almost Three Times More Copies Than Death Stranding 2
New figures show Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yotei vastly outsold other 2025 PS5 exclusives, moving 4.8 million copies versus Death Stranding 2’s 1.7 million.
Sales data underscores Ghost of Yotei as the standout PlayStation exclusive of the period, dwarfing its closest first-party rivals.
The short version
- Ghost of Yotei sold around 4.8 million units, generating close to $350 million in revenue.
- Death Stranding 2 sold roughly 1.7 million PS5 units, about a third of Yotei’s total.
- Average playtime for Yotei was 47.7 hours, with 7% of players exceeding 100 hours.
- Other PS5 exclusives trailed far behind: MLB The Show 26 at 745,000 and Saros at 406,000.
- Bungie’s Marathon performed poorly with about 347,000 PlayStation copies.
- On PS5, the game was reportedly only outsold by Madden and College Football titles.
Why it matters
The gap highlights how Sony’s open-world single-player exclusives continue to drive hardware and revenue even in a year of high-profile competition. The contrast with Death Stranding 2 and the weak showing from live-service bet Marathon also feeds the ongoing debate about whether premium narrative games remain a safer investment than online-focused titles.
