Ghost of Tsushima vs Ghost of Yotei

Ghost of Yotei is the stronger pick for anyone with a PS5: it is a native current-gen game with sharper visuals, a new heroine and refined katana combat, and its early owner ratings are very high. Ghost of Tsushima remains the better value for PS4 owners and for anyone who wants the longer, complete samurai epic with its multiplayer mode. Both are polished Sucker Punch open worlds with strong art direction; Tsushima has the larger track record and a PC version, Yotei has the newer combat and a tighter, more focused story.

  • Choose the Ghost of Tsushima if you are on PS4, want the full Jin Sakai story plus the Legends co-op mode, or plan to play on PC.
  • Choose the Ghost of Yotei if you own a PS5 and want the newer, better-looking game with fresh combat systems and a standalone story.

What reviewers say

Ghost of Tsushima

  • 4.7 / 5842 ratings

Reviewers and owners rate it very highly, calling it one of the best open-world games on PlayStation 4. Praise centers on the combat, the visuals and the respect for samurai cinema; criticism is mostly about familiar open-world mission design.

What people mention
  • CombatPraisedPlayers single out the stance-based katana duels and standoffs as the game's best feature.
  • VisualsPraisedThe art direction and Kurosawa filter are repeatedly called stunning.
  • ExplorationPraisedThe wind and animal guides are seen as a refreshing alternative to map markers.
  • Side questsMixedSome find the side stories well written, others find the mission structure repetitive.

Ghost of Yotei

  • 4.9 / 572 ratings

Ratings are very high, with players praising the setting, combat additions and story of revenge. The main reservations are that the open-world formula is close to the first game and that the tone is grim and violent.

What people mention
  • CombatPraisedPlayers enjoy the katana duels and the added weapon types, including dual katanas.
  • SettingPraisedThe northern Japan landscapes and Mount Yotei backdrop are called striking and varied.
  • StoryPraisedAtsu's hunt for the six outlaws and her bonds with allies are well received.
  • Open worldMixed

Questions and answers

Which is better for a first Ghost game?
Either works, since Yotei is a standalone story. Start with Tsushima if you want the origin of the Ghost legend and more content; start with Yotei if you have a PS5 and want the newest combat.
Does Ghost of Yotei have multiplayer?
No. It is single-player only. Tsushima includes the Legends co-op mode, which supports cross-play with PC players.
Which looks and runs better?
Yotei, because it was built for PS5. Tsushima was made for PS4 and looks good on PS5 but not as detailed.
Is Yotei worth stepping up to from Tsushima?
Yes if you liked Tsushima and own a PS5. The combat additions and visuals are clear upgrades, though the campaign is shorter and there is no co-op.
Can I play Tsushima on PC?
Yes, there is a PC version with DLSS, FSR and XeSS support. Yotei is PS5 only.
Do I need to play Tsushima first?
No. Yotei is set 300 years later with a new cast, so you can play it without prior knowledge.
