Sony has released some pretty interesting statistics from the first 10 days of player activity in Ghost of Tsushima, and they cover everything from how many duels have been fought to how many foxes have been petted. Ghost of Tsushima was an instant hit upon release, even surprising Sony by selling out of physical copies in many Japanese stores.
As one of the last big PlayStation 4 exclusives before the launch of the PS5, there was a lot of anticipation built up for Ghost of Tsushima before its release, and for most players, it seems to have lived up to their expectations. Ghost of Tsushima received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising its satisfying combat and gorgeous open world while some were less impressed with its repetition and lack of innovation. Still, it had even fans to drive an incredible number of sales, making it the fastest selling first-party original IP in the PS4’s life cycle, with 2.4 million copies sold in just its first three days.
All those players collectively racked up a lot of time in Ghost of Tsushima, and new stats released by PlayStation show exactly what they were doing with all that time. PlayStation tallied up the data from Ghost of Tsushima’s first 10 days and posted a detailed breakdown of what players have been up to since the game’s launch. When it comes to combat, players have engaged in 156.4 million standoffs and 57.5 million duels, while making 139.4 million enemies collapse in fear. Players spent plenty of time on more peaceful activities as well, taking 15.5 million photos in the Ghost of Tsushima’s incredible photo mode, writing 14.2 million haikus, and - perhaps most important of all - petting 8.8 million adorable foxes. Among the most mind-blowing stats is the fact that players spent a collective 810.3 years on horseback in just 10 days playing the game, which it’s probably best not to think about too much.
Sony’s stats are impressive, cataloging how invested Ghost of Tsushima players are in both its main selling points and its more mundane activities. There’s still plenty they leave out, though, perhaps most notably how many times players have died. That would be an especially interesting stat to see if it compared the number of deaths in the recently added Lethal difficulty to the game’s more approachable settings.
Ghost of Tsushima has captured the attention of a lot of PS4 owners, and for good reason. The latest stats from Sony show that while it may not be the most original game around, it still offers a lot more than endless combat, particularly for players who take the time to stop and pet the foxes.
Ghost of Tsushima is available now on PlayStation 4.
