Ghost of Yōtei on PC Sooner Than You Think? Release Date Leaks, Clues, and What to Expect
All you need to know, now: what happened, why it matters, and what’s next.
Ghost of Yōtei is Sucker Punch going back to Japan, back to samurai drama, and yes, back to PlayStation-first. If you live on a mouse and keyboard and you’re wondering when you’ll get to play it, here’s the state of things without the wishful thinking.
Is Ghost of Yōtei coming to PC?
Short version: there’s no official confirmation yet. Sucker Punch hasn’t said a word about a PC version at the time of writing.
Longer version: I’d be genuinely surprised if it didn’t happen eventually. Over the last five-ish years, PlayStation has turned PC ports into a steady second life for its big exclusives. Ghost of Tsushima made the jump. So did The Last of Us, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and the Horizon games. It would be a weird moment for Sony to slam the brakes on that strategy specifically for Yōtei.
One catch: Ghost of Yōtei is a PS5 exclusive at launch. If your FOMO is acting up, you’ll need a PlayStation to play on day one.
When could it hit PC?
This is where it gets slippery, because Sony’s timing has shifted a lot lately.
The old model looked like this: Ghost of Tsushima launched in July 2020 and didn’t reach PC until May 2024. Call it just under four years. If you copy-paste that lag onto Yōtei, you’re looking at roughly August 2029. Not exactly helpful if you’re eager.
The recent trend is tighter. In the last couple of years, Sony has moved some heavy hitters to PC within two years of their PS5 releases, and sometimes faster:
- God of War Ragnarök, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and Stellar Blade all landed on PC in under two years, with Stellar Blade making the jump in about 14 months.
That newer cadence is a better guide than Tsushima’s long wait. Reading the room, my bet is first half of 2027 for a Ghost of Yōtei PC port, with late 2026 as the absolute best-case scenario if Sony keeps its foot on the gas.
Bottom line
No PC announcement yet, but the odds are high it happens. Expect a wait measured in years, not months. If Sony sticks to its more recent playbook, you’re probably circling 2027. If they go old-school like Tsushima, well… see you closer to 2029.
