Ghost
of
Tsushima
launched
on
PC
just
a
few
days
ago
on
May
16,
nearly
four
years
after
it
first
arrived
on
PlayStation
4.
Sony
has
stated
before
that
it
wants
to
aggressively
push
into
the
PC
market
and
it
looks
like
Ghost
of
Tsushima
is
doing
exactly
that.

According
to
SteamDB,
which
tracks
all
sorts
of
Steam-related
date,
Ghost
of
Tsushima
is
extremely
close
to
overtaking
God
of
War
to
become
Sony’s
2nd
biggest
game
on
PC
in
terms
of
concurrent
players.
It’s
currently
at
72,477
concurrent
players,
although
that
number
is
slowly
creeping
upwards.

It’s
also
being
tracked
as
the
2nd
best
seller
currently.

God
of
War
hits
its
highest
ever
peak
just
two
days
after
its
release,
managing
to
put
73,529
into
the
boots
of
gaming
angriest
Dad.
The
player
count
slowly
dwindled
after
that
as
people
gradually
wrapped
up
the
game’s
excellent
story
and
moved
on
to
other
things.

That
means
Ghost
of
Tsushima
is
just
over
1,000
players
away
from
surpassing
God
of
War.

In
2022
we
learned
that
God
of
War
had
sold
971,000
units
on
Steam
in
two
months
of
being
on
sale.
Then
in
2023,
leaked
data
from
Sony
indicated
that
it
went
on
to
sell
2.5m
units,
a
number
which
has
presumably
grown
since
then.
If
Ghost
of
Tsushima
is
pushing
similar
numbers
of
concurrent
players,
would
it
be
fair
to
assume
that
it’s
going
to
sell
equal
to
or
more
than
God
of
War?
That
is
pure
speculation
on
my
behalf,
but
I
think
it’s
a
fairly
safe
bet.

It’s
also
worth
noting
that
Ghost
of
Tsushima
launched
at
$59.99,
whereas
God
of
War
launched
at
$49.99.
In
other
words,
Ghosts
of
Tsushima
will
also
generate
slightly
more
revenue.

Of
course,
the
king
of
PlayStation
mountain
on
PC
is
still
Helldivers
2
thanks
to
its
whopping
458,709
concurrent
player
count.
These
days
the
player
count
is
significantly
lower
but
still
very
healthy,
peaking
at
80,000+
concurrent
players
every
day.

As
for
other
Sony
games,

Marvel’s
Spider-Man
sits
just
behind
Ghost
of
Tsushima
with
a
peak
player
count
of
66,436,
while
Horizon:
Zero
Dawn
is
in
4th
with
56,557.

Most
successful
PlayStation
games
on
PC
by
player
count.

Ghost
of
Tsushima
had
a
little
bit
of
controversy
ahead
of
its
release
that
threatened
to
effect
its
sales.

Following
the
Helldivers
2
PSN
debacle,
Ghost
of
Tsushima’s
developers
wanted
to
make
it
very
clear
that
while
the
singleplayer
portion
of
GoT
would
not
require
a
PSN
account,
the
online
Legends
mode
would
not.
Furthermore,
Ghost
of
Tsushima
is
not
available
for
sale
in
around
180
regions
due
to
those
regions
not
having
access
to
the
PlayStation
Network,
making
a
lot
of
people
understandably
wish
that
Sony
would
split
the
game
into
two
pieces
so
that
the
singleplayer,
which
doesn’t
need
an
account,
could
be
bought
by
people
in
those
regions.

Some
of
the
game’s
negative
Steam
reviews
are
due
to
requiring
a
PSN
account,
but
the
vast
majority
seem
very
happy
with
the
experience
and
with
the
performance.
It
is
currently
sitting
at
a
“Very
Positive”
rating
on
Steam.

While
it’s
impossible
to
know
how
much
of
a
difference
this
has
made,
the
numbers
so
far
look
great,
and
will
no
doubt
bolster
the
desire
for
a
sequel.
Sadly
that
doesn’t
look
like
it
will
be
coming
anytime
soon,
as

Sony
has
already
stated
that
no
new
games
in
its
major
franchises,
which
presumably
includes
Ghost
of
Tsushima,
will
be
released
before
March
2025.
