The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima has been a huge success, becoming the biggest single-player game launch on Steam for PlayStation.
Ghost of Tsushima has exceeded expectations in spite of previous PSN sign-up scandals such as the one involving Helldivers 2. However, there is still some conjecture surrounding Sony’s cautious stance, which hasn’t completely protected the game from unfavorable reviews in the beginning.
Because of lingering dissatisfaction over the Helldivers 2 PSN sign-up incident, Ghost of Tsushima initially garnered unfavorable reviews on Steam.
But later, the reviews got much better, according to Forbes.
There was a lot of backlash when Arrowhead Game Studios revealed that Helldivers 2 PC players would need to connect their PSN accounts to Steam.
Eventually, as a result of bad press and an overwhelming number of unfavorable Steam reviews, Sony decided to change its mind.
The PSN account need for Ghost of Tsushima, on the other hand, was made clearer by Sucker Punch Productions, who clarified that it was only required for the PlayStation overlay and multiplayer co-op.
As a result, without connecting a PSN account to their Steam account, users can still enjoy the single-player campaign, which makes up the majority of the game’s content.
Ghost of Tsushima has surpassed games like Marvel’s Spider-Man, God of War 2018, and The Last of Us Part 1 with a peak concurrent player count of 77,500, according to Steam DB statistics that GamesRadar cited.
Helldivers 2 continues to be Sony’s most popular PC game in spite of this accomplishment; in just 12 weeks, it sold 12 million copies on the PS5 and Steam.
Nevertheless, given that Ghost of Tsushima was first released on the PlayStation 4 in July 2020, Sony is probably happy with the game’s PC release.
