Ghost of Yotei has reportedly sold 4.8 million copies on PS5 since its launch in October 2025, making it the clear standout among Sony's recent Playstation releases.
The figures come from Alinea Analytics head of market analysis Rhys Elliott and are based on the firm's proprietary estimates rather than official sales data released by Sony. According to Elliott, Sucker Punch's open-world sequel has also generated almost $350 million in revenue.
The numbers suggest that Ghost of Yotei has established a sizeable lead over other PlayStation-related games included in the report, with Death Stranding 2 following at an estimated 1.7 million copies sold on PS5.
Estimated PS5 sales for Sony’s recent games
The full list of estimated PS5 sales shared by Alinea Analytics is as follows:
- Ghost of Yotei: 4.8 million
- Death Stranding 2: On the Beach: 1.7 million
- MLB The Show 26: 745,000
- Saros: 406,000
- Marathon: 347,000
- God of War: Sons of Sparta: 132,000
These figures only account for sales on PS5. They do not include PC sales for Death Stranding 2 or Marathon, while MLB The Show 26 is also available on other platforms. As a result, the numbers should not be treated as the total lifetime sales for every game on the list.
Ghost of Yotei appears to have benefited from discounts
Alinea Analytics attributes Ghost of Yotei's performance partly well-timed discounts, which appear to have helped the game maintain momentum after launch.
Its estimated 4.8 million sales place it significantly ahead of Sony's other recent PS5 games, reinforcing the continued commercial appeal of large-scale single-player releases from PlayStation Studios.
Death Stranding 2 also appears to have performed reasonably well on PS5, with an estimated 1.7 million copies sold on the platform. Its total sales are higher once PC is included: an earlier Alinea Analytics estimate placed the game at more than 2 million copies across PS5 and Steam following the release of its PC version.
Saros and Marathon have had a slower start on PS5
The estimates pain a less encouraging picture for Saros, Housemarque's follow--up to Returnal. The game is believed to have sold around 406,000 copies on PS5.
That is an improvement over the 300K+ sales Alina Analytics estimated during its first two weeks on the market. However, the analytics firm previously suggested that Saros could struggle to recover its reported development costs despite strong engagement among the players who purchased it.
Marathon has also reportedly struggled to find a large console audience, with an estimated 347,000 copies on PS5. Its overall performance is stronger once other platforms are included. Elliott previously estimated that the Bungie extraction shooter had sold almost 1.5 million copies in total, with 68% of those sales coming from Steam, 19% from PS5 and 13% from Xbox.
The figures offer an interesting snapshot of Sony's recent releases, although they remain third-party estimates. Sony has not officially confirmed sales totals for the games included in the report.
