Even as the Ghost of Tsushima continues to break records for Sony's last game system. To date, the PlayStation 4 exclusive has sold 5 million copies and counting, a feat made even more impressive by the fact that the game came out less than six months ago.
Ghost of Tsushima was developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the studio otherwise best known for the successful long after launch.
A tweet from the head of PlayStation Worldwide Studios, Hermen Hulst, announced that Ghost of Tsushima has become the PlayStation 4's fastest-selling first-party original game, a feat that was achieved in just under four months. Hulst congratulated developer Sucker Punch Productions and the sentiment was echoed by most of the comments to the tweet. Many fans showed their by praising the game's many achievements and some even called it their game of the year.
Fans also used the comments in Hulst's tweet to reminisce about Until Dawn were just some of the titles mentioned and the mood of these comments was one of nostalgia, even though the PS4 and its games are going nowhere. In fact, most PS4 exclusives will be playable on the PS5 with the majority allowing save file transfers between systems.
This is a fitting swan song to a console that brought some of the greatest games of the last decade and potentially all time. Though games will continue to come out for the PS4, there will be no more exclusives The Last of Us Part II. Ghost of Tsushima was the exclamation point on a track record of excellence and a fitting close to the PlayStation 4 chapter of Sony's console exclusives.
