At the end of last week,Ghost of Tsushimawas released on Steam, bringing with it additional content in the guise of it being the Director’s Cut. Since then, the PlayStation exclusive game has been doing pretty well for itself, and has become one of the console’s most successful ports on PC.
As of right now,Ghost of Tsushimahas beaten outGod of War– another PlayStation exclusive title – in terms of concurrent players. According to SteamDB, the formerregistered 77,154 playersover the last 24 hours, while the latterachieved 73,529 playersat its peak a couple of years ago.

Additionally, Insomniac’sSpider-Man Remasteredshows 66,436 players from two years ago. At the time of writing, Sucker Punch’s samurai warrior game is thetop-selling game on Steam, being just behind the Steam Deck handheld system.
Note the words “single-player”
However, there is one PlayStation-to-PC release thatGhost of Tsushimais probably going to struggle to keep up with, and that’sHelldivers 2. However,Ghostis still proving itself to be a mighty singleplayer game to make the leap from Sony’s console to Steam.
That’s fair, though.Helldivers 2has been a phenomenal hit since launching earlier this year, becoming one of PlayStation – and therefore Sony’s – most lucrative new release in a good while. As of three months ago, the game registered a whopping458,709 concurrent players.
Ghost of Tsushimawas originally a PS4 title, releasing in 2020, before making its way onto PS5 in 2021, so it’s taken about three years for it to arrive on PC.
Although it’s been getting some pretty good feedback from the community, more than a few have been showing concern about players needing a PlayStation Network account in order to play online through Steam.
