Ghost Of Tsushima has garnered both critical and audience acclaim, with NME describing the game as “a serene samurai simulator” which “looks and feels amazing to play”.

By comparison, Horizon Zero Dawn managed to shift 2.6 million units across its first two weeks of launch, meaning Ghost Of Tsushima is set to break that record. Many other PlayStation exclusives have released and sold more within their launch weekends, however a majority of the titles have been based on pre-existing franchises.

The Last Of Us Part II boasted a sales record for the company with 4 million copies sold within its first three days. The title also managed to sell more games in the UK top ten gaming chart than the rest of the titles combined.

Final Fantasy VII Remake also launched earlier this year and recorded a total of 3.5 million sales within its opening weekend.

With the PS5 fast approaching later this year, Sony has begun ramping up its promotional campaign and providing insight into the titles players can expect on the upcoming console. The focus seems to continue the trend of exclusive story-focused games such as Ghost Of Tsushima.

A recent PS5 reveal event unveiled a host of new games coming to the system. Insomniac Games revealed two new titles with a spin-off Spider-Man game featuring Miles Morales, and a new Ratchet & Clank title that aims to push the graphics on the PS5.

Horizon Zero Dawn is also set to receive a sequel and continue to the story of Aloy as she seeks to continue her adventure across new lands.
