Ghost of Tsushima launched on Steam on May 16, with the Director's Cut edition. Within days, it has achieved remarkable success, drawing in a large number of players. On Steam, the player count for Ghost of Tsushima surged, surpassing other PlayStation games that were ported to PC.
The game has reached a peak of 75,065 concurrent players at this time of writing, overtaking God of War's peak of 73,529 players and Marvel's Spider-Man's 66,436 peak. Other notable titles like Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, and The Last of Us Part 1 fell behind, with peaks of 56,557, 40,462, and 36,496 players, respectively.
Comparison with Other PlayStation Hits
Despite the impressive numbers, Ghost of Tsushima has not yet reached the heights of Helldivers 2, which remains PlayStation's most successful PC launch with a peak of 458,709 active players. However, among the single-player games ported from PlayStation to PC, Ghost of Tsushima now holds the top spot.
The game's success on PC highlights its enduring appeal and the effective execution of the port by Sucker Punch Productions. The smooth transition and the rich, immersive experience have contributed to its growing popularity among PC gamers.
