It is also worth noting that Ghost of Yotei will receive a Day 1 Patch to fix various existing issues and further add new things to the game.

We have also added a countdown timer to help you keep track of when the update rolls out.
Will Ghost of Yotei Come to PC and Xbox?
Currently, neither Sony nor Sucker Punch, the studio behind Ghost of Yotei, has confirmed if the game will be coming to either PC or Xbox. This is to be expected since most Sony games remain console-exclusive for at least a year before being available on any other platform. This was the case for Ghost of Tsushima as well, the sequel to Ghost of Yotei, which was massively praised for its story, characters, combat, and more.
So, anyone who doesn’t have a PlayStation 5 might want to either invest in the console or patiently wait for the game to roll out for their platform.
Is Ghost of Yotei a Direct Sequel to Ghost of Tsushima?
Unfortunately, Ghost of Yotei is not a direct sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. While it shares the same thematic, it is a separate story set around a completely different protagonist, Atsu, and her circumstances. The game does further expand on the world and explores more possibilities of the “Ghost”. However, it cannot be considered a sequel since you won’t be seeing Jin Sakai or his struggles from the past.
However, Atsu promises to deliver a thrilling storyline, along with more brutal combat and various new skills. The trailers have showcased new and advanced use of skills along with an improved combat system, allowing you to hack and slash through enemies. More details will be revealed since Ghost of Yotie is finally available.
