Ghost of Yotei Global Release Times Confirmed

Sony has confirmed the global release times for PlayStation 5 exclusive Ghost of Yotei.

Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima sequel has an official release date of October 2, but fans in some parts of the United States can play it earlier, from October 1, Sony confirmed to IGN.

It’s worth noting Ghost of Yotei has an important day-one patch, which makes a number of significant improvements to the game. Sony revealed the patch notes to IGN, and confirmed disc owners will have to install the update. Sony also asked players to make sure they’re on Version 1.006 before playing the game.

Ghost of Yotei pre-load via the PlayStation Store went live last week, with the game itself weighing in at over 85GB.

IGN’s Ghost of Yotei review returned an 8/10. We said: “A predictable but well-executed story takes you through Ghost of Yotei’s gorgeous landscapes and satisfying, fluid action — it may not be revolutionizing open world games, but it’s a great distillation of the samurai fantasy.”
