Ghost of Yotei Launch Times Revealed

Share

Sony has confirmed the global launch times for Ghost of Yotei – here’s what we know and when you can play it.

Sony has confirmed the Ghost of Yotei launch times across the globe, as fans itch to get their hands on the next major PlayStation 5 exclusive and spiritual follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. The game officially launches October 2, but depending on where you live, you could be playing a few hours earlier.

The Ghost of Yotei launch times vary depending on where you’re located across the world. That means players in the United States can technically begin Atsu’s story of vengeance on the evening of October 1. On the West Coast, the game goes live at 9 PM PT, while East Coast players will see it unlock at 12 AM ET on October 2. For players worldwide, the approach keeps things simple: as soon as the clock hits midnight where you are, the gates open.

Ghost of Yotei Global Launch Times

Here’s exactly when you can get stuck into Ghost of Yotei across the world:

Wednesday, October 1

  • 9pm PT
  • 10pm MT
  • 11pm CT

Thursday, October 2

  • 12am ET
  • 12am for all other international local times (including AEST)

Unlike Jin Sakai’s samurai journey in Ghost of Tsushima, this new chapter shifts focus to Atsu, a sellsword navigating Feudal Japan. The story is driven by revenge, with Atsu hunting down the outlaw gang responsible for murdering her family. The familiar open-world design returns, but with a fresh perspective that separates Atsu’s tale from Jin’s while keeping the same atmospheric world-building.

Interestingly, the timing also benefits Sucker Punch Productions. With Grand Theft Auto VI delayed, Ghost of Yotei avoids going head-to-head with what’s likely to be the biggest release of the decade.

In our review, writer Ben Veress said Ghost of Yotei “may just be one of the best action-RPGs released in years, and will go down as one of the most iconic titles for this generation of gaming.” Now, players will only have mere hours to wait before they too can confirm whether this rings true personally themsel
