Ghost of Tsushima returns to the top thanks to its launch on Steam

This generation, Sony has decided to release some of its exclusive video games on PC, but not all of them have been successful. However, when there are good results, it is noticeable, and in the case of the most recent PlayStation Studios title that arrived on Steam, there is very good news, as it claimed the top spot in the United States.

Ghost of Tsushima debuted on Steam and became the best-selling game in the US in May 2024

The report on video game and console sales in the USA during May 2024 was shared by Mat Piscatella, analyst at Circana, and this time the note is given by Ghost of Tsushimaan action and combat title developed by Sucker Punch, which, believe it or not, was the best-selling game in May in the North American market. According to the information, the launch of Ghost of Tsushima on Steam was key to moving from 71st place to 1st thanks to the dollar sales it recorded since its release on Valve’s platform.

Sucker Punch’s title benefited from sales of its digital version on Steam, which were added to physical and digital copies on PlayStation, surpassing the release of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Doorwhich came in second place, although it should not be overlooked that Nintendo does not share data on digital sales of its video games.

With this first place, Ghost of Tsushima It is positioned as one of the video games with the best reception on Steam, something that is not common for PlayStation titles since only a few like God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man have lived up to commercial expectations, while the rest have debuted without pain or glory on Valve’s platform, perpetuating the difficult situation that these AAAs are currently experiencing.

On the other hand, it should be remembered that Ghost of Tsushima It was also involved in the controversy over the requirement to have a PlayStation Network account in order to buy and play it on Steam, unfortunately, those countries where there is no official support from Sony it is not possible, so Sucker Punch’s title also saw its sales limited in other markets due to this situation, otherwise it would have been more impressive than it is today.
