Ghost of Tsushima PC launch breaks PlayStation records

Ghost of Tsushima has finally arrived on PC, and as expected, it's a success. With a peak concurrent player count of over 77,000, it's already PlayStation's most successful single-player game to launch on Steam.

Following its debut on Steam on May 16th in its Director's Cut form, Ghost of Tsushima rapidly gained traction and outpaced previous PlayStation PC ports. Despite Helldivers 2 being the most successful PlayStation release on PC, with 458,709 concurrent players at its peak, Ghost of Tsushima managed to outshine all other single-player titles that Sony has published on PC so far.

This past weekend, Ghost of Tsushima peaked at 77,154 concurrent players, surpassing God of War's 73,529 players at its peak and Marvel's Spider-Man's 66,436 high. Other former PlayStation exclusives that came to Steam include Horizon Zero Dawn (peaked at 56,557 players), Horizon Forbidden West (40,462 players), and The Last of Us Part 1 (36,496 players).

At the time of writing, the game has almost 8,600 reviews on Steam, of which 88% are positive.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
