'Ghost of Yotei' Tourism Boom: PlayStation's Hit Game Is Bringing Fans to Hokkaido

The success of "Ghost of Yotei" has extended far beyond the gaming world. Since its release in 2025, the PlayStation exclusive has become a major driver of tourism in Hokkaido, Japan, inspiring fans to visit the real-world landscapes that served as the game's backdrop.

The Sucker Punch-developed title follows the revenge-driven journey of protagonist Atsu through 17th-century Japan. The game quickly became one of PlayStation's biggest launches, selling more than 3.3 million copies within 32 days and outperforming the launch sales of Ghost of Tsushima.
