Ghost of Tsushima tops God of War as PlayStation's biggest on Steam

Sony's strategy of bringing PlayStation exclusives to PC continues to pay off, with Ghost of Tsushima surpassing God of War to become the biggest PlayStation Steam launch. While Ghost of Tsushima had a slower start, it eventually peaked at 77,154 concurrent players, surpassing God of War's peak of around 74,000 players. This achievement is notable especially considering the limitations imposed by Sony's PSN account linking requirement for multiplayer components. Despite this, Ghost of Tsushima has managed to outshine other major titles like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. Sony's gradual release of first-party games on PC seems to be resonating well with gamers, ensuring a growing community of PlayStation fans on the platform.

Ghost of Tsushima initially had a slower start because it didn't garner as many immediate players as God of War. However, it gained momentum over its first weekend, eventually surpassing God of War's peak concurrent players. The slower start could be attributed to various factors such as market awareness and initial gaming preferences, but it ultimately caught up due to its strong appeal and positive reception.

Background Information: Ghost of Tsushima, developed by Sucker Punch Productions, is an open-world action-adventure game set in feudal Japan. The game was initially released for PlayStation 4 in July 2020 and received critical acclaim for its breathtaking visuals, engaging combat mechanics, and compelling storyline.
